IINM, heavyarm do sell 37keys set, but the price... rolleyes.gif

I suggest you to get a new blue switch board instead of mod your current board. It will be easier, safer and may even be cheaper. Ahem, take a look at 016xxxxxxx's siggy.

poison alert!

dunno man, still 50/50 on the modding as well, ill have to say goodbye to my remaining warranty as well hmm.gif

EDIT: just saw the edited post

wait, you can buy new boards itself? locally?

Seems like Vortex don't really like offering much values to their board.

its still a good board, pretty decent pricing imo

but finding out that spacebar not standard and PBT caps not thick is quite a blow for users like me sad.gif

As long as it is PBT, the durability is good enough smile.gif

Thick or thin PBT only reflects on the typing feeling, of coz thick PBT is higher cost so if they are giving thin PBT, I can understand that biggrin.gif

yeah sad.gif

Thanks kyrmian. Grateful for believing my instinct. No wonder my heart keep saying wait for kyrmian, don't buy. Now it's confirmed. Hell yeah...

BTW, after 3 days of internet disconnect and stop on page 96, now it's page 111, I think I had enough with Vortex. I know Poker II doesn't have any issue but why in the hell Vortex spoil them self. Sigh... Waiting good news from 016 next week and let's see if I will place my money on Poker II or not. Sigh... Oh Vortex, hell ya... You guys trolling or you didn't take serious in mech kb.

hi um looking for expert recommendation..

im looking for brown mx keyboard, nkro under usb and numpad are needed, backlit and other customizations are not necessary..

currently only found CM Storm Quickfire TK, and its price is quite interesting, any commend for it?
*
USB cant NKRO afaik, only PS/2

the simplest full sized keyboard you can try is Rosewill RK-9000 at RM269

comes in MX Brown, Blue, Red and Blacks rclxms.gif

this keyboard is not backlit, have standard layout so future keycap changes in hassle free. detachable USB cable as well and compatible with PS/2

and oh did i mention its only RM269?

link for reference

OK guys.

Really respect your keyboards man... 1k+ for feels biggrin.gif

My takeaway:
1. This is an expensive hobby.
2. I need to save money buy a custom + MX ergo clears.
3. My gear is noob.

Other than that:
1. Confirm I like Brown switch (again). Others too noisy/stiff/feels weird.
2. I kinda miss the buckling springs biggrin.gif
3. Lowyat forumers are nice people and friendly biggrin.gif

single board usually not that expensive

but if you stay here any longer, custom boards, custom this custom that all poisonous

not helpful to restraint when the regulars also all poisonous as well icon_idea.gif
