from blues to brown, most say it feels too soft, too little tactile. stock clears are actually not too heavy, and if you are used to blues, the tactile as almost as strong and obvious, only quieter.  brows.gif

You mean, from blue to brown, they are identical, just quieter?



Anyway, thinking to sell of my Blackwidow Ultimate 2013 and get a Shine 3, but does it worth it? I want a keyboard with big wrist rest.

brown is different since it does not have the click stem and sound. from blues to brown you will feel much softer with no click.

blues to clears, very nice, almost as same tactile but no click sound.

the shine 3 has standard keycaps, you can pretty much swap them all with any custom keycaps out there. quality is far better than BWU and the wrist rest can buy seperately; many designs and material available.

I'm not really into MKB but I just want to get something that I can use for long time. Can you show me where can I find and see the pic of the wrist rest?

Ya I know, like those keyboard with LED but the LED color is not the one I like, I can ask him mod.
Just see whether can add LED effect or not brows.gif

The most effect one is i think is Shine 3 liao, but that one is too over for me.
For backlit keycap, got a lot to choose if I want to change the keycap?



Just asking, is Corsair K95 using standard keycap?

dont think so, and even when keyboard that by default dont have LED you add it in, it wont have those animation effects, those need additional circuitry work

Is ok for the effect then.
If the LED can be changed to other color, then I might considering taking Corsair K95 (personally I prefer huge keyboard with backlit),
Just wonder is the keys are standard size so that I can change them anytime with aftermarket one brows.gif

any huge keyboard (normally huge keyboards are those gaming one) sweat.gif with standard keycap one?

Storm Trigger?

The reason I put K95 in my list because I want that aluminium body, and extended size due to the macro keys cry.gif

Theoretically, all can mod LED, but some is easy and some is real hard.

If you want got effect want, then wait no more, Ducky Shine 3 the best for you.

Effect can't mod.

Backlit keycaps are quite limited and inferior by nature. So most of us here will opt for either white thin pbt (so the backlit can shine through) or thick black/beige/white PBT so that the backlit will be blocked but instead being reflected through the plate, resulting an sleek underglow effect.

For K95, it is non-standard for spacebar and modifiers, and you will appreciate our suggestions in future for stay away from it when you plan to change the keycaps next time.

If you want a keyboard huge, you can get a fullsize filco (non-backlit though) and later get an aftermart SS7G style wrist rest for it from taobao.

Ya, Shine 3 has the most effect tongue.gif
But hor, the size of the keyboard is like standard Windows 98 keyboard. I want something bigger ( I know I have bad taste cry.gif) But if the replacement keycaps are inferior in quality, i still don mind as I can rebuy and rebuy again laugh.gif

Hmmm....for future, if those keys are really get shined and faded, all I can do is only replace back original parts from Corsair? rclxub.gif

Anyway, K95 LED can be modded?

Since you need all the gaming feature so I guess your choice is Corsair then. Plus, seems like you determined to get that particular model. And assuming you will never interested change to custom keycaps, there's no point getting standard layout. IINM, some forumer get stock Corsair caps from Taobao. So I think not available locally? Or can try ask Cudo Tech to bring some hmm.gif Not sure which Corsair mech kb that often having LED problem. Read few cases in previous thread. sweat.gif

The reason we get standard layout is custom keycaps friendly. And stock keycaps is boring (IMO), no offense. And what's the point of changing some of the caps while we can change and combine the whole caps? Just because of few modifier, the keycaps combination are ruined. Hehe... But you already mentioned that you not into mech kb. And in the end, your money your call... What's the point of getting Shine 3 if it doesn't satisfy you?

Damn you, you brought me into a poison thread with all the experienced and expert sifu to answer all my noob questions vmad.gif

First of all, I really thank you for your time answering me.
Well, I don't use macro keys tongue.gif , I just want an extended size keyboard to fill up my table rclxub.gif That's the reason why I wanted extended size keyboard.

I never facing about "gaming" rated hardware, I know they are poor quality product. Just advertisement and market gimmick made them good.

Razer is not in my list, the reason I got myself because I got it dirt cheap.

So normally , getting a standard layout just to customize the keys? And OMG, Corsair keyboard has LED issues? Yes, I do agree that some modifier keys with factory size will ruin the overall presentation of a modded keyboard, I'm into MKB but not that hardcore level like you all, I just like how MKB respond to me when I'm typing, it is irreplacable orgasm wub.gif

Getting Shine 3 just to match my setup theme, while getting Corsair just to fill up my table and aluminum body drool.gif Since Corsair comes with red switch and white LED backlit, I think I'll go with it, but I hope that the LED can be modded to change to other color drool.gif

Reporting in with my new Corsair Vengeance K95 Red Switch.
Too bad it is not standard layout but the built quality is super awesome. biggrin.gif

The aluminum body is rigid and the key press is nice to feel, red switch is real good, but still prefer the noisy clicky blue switch. Just my boyfriend complained it is too noisy when night. sweat.gif

Seriously, if you don't mind about the non-standard layout, K95 is good choice, aluminum body is awesome brows.gif
