but i can only afford RM250 keyboard 

rm250 keycool ftw

how about keycool vs f104? / ONI and poker?

Filco compare to them more sturdy right?

they also offer led-modded f104 wor...
lets say my friend wan a 104 with led.. buy it and mod back in malaysia.. or str8 buy a modded one? which one u suggest 

It wasn't that long ago that I started with BWU when a friend sell me his brand new BWU for rm300 (how to resist that price?) and then upgrade, upgrade and upgrade and I'm now using a HHKB as a daily keyboard. What's scary to me is that all these happened in a 3 months instead of 'dulu dulu' years! This hobby is addictive!

And I have a few keycaps on the way.. Sigh..

anyone looking for keycool keyboards, hendy from indonesia is doing a clearance sale. i dont know the price ok or not comparing to taobao; http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=47218.0

if want LED, get a mod ready ones unless u really really like modding.
i bought the f104 mainly because of the free set of doubleshot pbt keycaps and it's led moddable
but no time to mod it, mainly because i don't want to have 2 black full size keyboard at home, and brown switch doesn't really appeal me after i've tried mx clears >.<
in the end have to sell it off to other ppl
wah...u hardcore much! 3 months upgrade to top tier brand from gimnick brand...haha!

custom kb gurus, apparently there's 2 type of metal plates being offered in sprit's custom.

one is dura alu metal (not sure if the term's correct) 1.6-2.0mm thick
and another is 4.0mm thick.

which one would u recommend and why?
state the pros n cons of each thickness if u can.

PS: what about polyacrylic plates which is 5.0mm thick and polycarbon plate which is 1.6mm thick?

i just look at my ruler, 4mm is damn thick weih for a plate!

Spam refresh, true story.

BTW, I think the acrylic plate for poker I posted last time also made by him. Here's his taobao store.

jual barang nak untung juga mah or at least minimize lost LOL!

Just keep lah.

One fullsize, one TKL, one compact mini, kan bagus?

i think the problem with ur duck mini is because in malaysia here majority of the mkb community ppl's interest on custom haven't reach ur standard yet.
while GH have good community numbers of high level poisoned ppl, when they see have to ship from international they also not so keen d

Now every brand plays aluminum, eventually stainless steel, later platinum, gold and diamond . Ah, somehow feeling upgraded in quality but something isn't feel that right to my pocket  .

True story lol.
Not so like the premium hammer case design, i prefer the slim tex design. And it is cost friendly a little .
If wanna save more, perhaps will try to design one on my own during semester break  .

sudah habis boss, alr told faster to react last time

I thought it's like imsto keycaps. Finish, restore. I should have know aluminum product are not like keycaps. Regret max level.

Lurking at GH is really not healthy for my pocket

I found the num keypad casing quite interesting.
