QUOTE(aaroneo @ Oct 28 2013, 06:51 AM) hi all, I'm thinking of getting a mech keyboard, I've been looking around for quite some time and I think I will be settling for a CM Storm Quickfire TK, brown switches. Best to get something with a standard keycap layout, or you'll regret later when the switches outlast the keycaps (switches rated for 20-50 million presses). The keycap printing will fade/go shiny, and you'll wanna change it. Choosing brown as I like tactile and also wanna be safe such that it isn't too loud. Any suggestions where to get them in Malaysia? or online, currently in the UK, the price is roughly 70pounds= RM350, I could get them cheaper from US if I ask my friend to send it to me. Any ideas on how to approach this? QUOTE(0168257061 @ Oct 28 2013, 08:25 AM) While I like the look of it. I need my Insert-PgDn cluster...But I am not sure why my fingers really not used to it.

If you want full size, then consider ikbc f104, the led is DIY able, but harder may be harder than plum for that the led holes are presoldered, you need extra works to clean off the solder b4 you start adding led.

Anybody used www.buy2taobao.com before?
Is the fella trustworthy? Seems cheaper (after including all fees and commission) compared to others. |

QUOTE(lowyatguy @ Oct 28 2013, 01:16 PM) You are buying keyboard based on rarity and not based on your liking? Then u should get The Cheat, at least it is no longer in production. Just taking my chances to see if they would refund. If they are kind enough to do that maybe I can grab a Realforce board if I like it after testing them, perhaps alu case to go with it If they don't, I will just use it and try to trade my would be reanodized LZ-GH for clacks or keyset |

QUOTE(lowyatguy @ Oct 28 2013, 01:51 PM) Well, if u r not interested in that anymore, I suggest u just post it up at the classified and I'm sure alot of GHers will be going to grab that from you in no time. Would do that as last resort, I am sure there would be quite a number of empty slot up for grabs on the 30th. Even if they allow the order to be transfered , it would be a pain in the ass to contact them in order to change the name, shipping address and invoice the extra shipping fees.Besides, I have yet to spam 60 posts |
