laugh.gif best avatar+post ever. But Rm4xx cost you for kb and mouse or got something else mate? Even if it's mistaken case with other SS mech kb, I think it's impossible since they should have the price list to compare and refer...

Since the damage had being done, just be it.

Your loss now actually delayed more losses in the future... whistling.gif

If you were to venture into mechanical keyboard, you will start burn a few holes in your wallet, and the loss for sure not limited to RM400+, LOL.

hi unseen,

well..... this is what i tried to explain when i created the first malaysian mechanical keyboard club.

It's exactly this awareness i wanted to raise. I was like you once, i had a Logitech G15 V1, and i thought that was the best there was, but actually it was a overpriced posĀ  sweat.gif

Just because a keyboard looks nice and has lights, does not make it a good keyboard, because there are many things people who did not know the difference, did not take into account such as......

1. the keycap quality. the print type, as well as the plastic used.
- the print type effects how easy the printed characters will fade off. also is the contrast of the characters good enough to see clearly ?
- the plastic used. the cheap ones tend to get shiny over time, which is most apparent especially on the spacebar.

2. the actuation force when typing on the keys.
- on a membrane keyboard, this can feel very mushy and unsatisfying, but even worse, when your gaming or even generally typing, when you thought you had clearly pressed the key, but it didn't output the character you typed. This is because it's not as precise/reliable as a mechanical switch.
- for mechanical keyboards there are many switches with actuation forces ranging from black (hard,), brown (medium), blue (slightly lighter than brown), red (lightest)
- there is also linear/non-linear; clicky/non-clicky. For me personally i cannot stand clicky typing, so i stick to non-clicky. If you want the quitest, there is the topre keyboards that use a hybrid mechanical switch.
