oh ._. forgot the ergo-dox*

haha...
well, get keycaps from taobao lah...better than paying a fortune for shipping from US.

hello..there is 1 thing i don't understand about this mech kb..standard layout and non-standard layout..what does it mean?..what the differences..anyone?..i'm totally noob in this thing..ahahaha

this is standard layout.


this is non-standard layout.

Note the bottom CTRL - ALT - SPACEBAR row.
compare that and you'll notice.


another non-standard.



this is a different standard layout.
the bottom row is using what we called "tsangan kit". whereas the 1st picture (ducky shine 3) is using what we called "moogle kit".

Keyword, 18B20座子

So far taobaoed and only find 1 store, may be need more specific/suitable keywords.

Would prefer the usual 87 key layout...
I don't really like the arrow keys there

BTW, anyone know of places that sell the WASDkeyboard's o-rings?
Sadly, Amazon don't have international shipping.

I want buy from big sites like Amazon because I have something else to get also.

In short, we call those with consistent size for modifier (Ctrl, Alt, Win and Menu) keys standard layout. Each key is 1.25x in size.

Since the total of a row of keys are 15x unit, that will result in 6.25x for the size of spacebar. That is called standard spacebar size. Though for spacebar, more complicated stories and theories kicked in, where each OEM/manufacturers may had their own stem spacing, resulting non-standard spacebar. Here we adopt the spacing of Ducky/Filco/Rosewill RK9000 as the standard spacebar stem spacing.

Neo Zelia 87 then. Though it isn't among the top list of keyboards to get due to it's fragile design and casing.

waaa..so detail..thanks..hehehehe ..btw which mech kb suit best for newbie like me?..my friend diabolique suggested me cm qfr or keycool..but qfr got rubber coat and i kinda hate it a bit... hmmmm

since u dun like qfr...u basically have chosen d

Ducky Shine 3

but i think ducky shine 3 a bit too much for my budget..my bad..ahahaha..how about keycool?..i heard they from china and might get chance to have minor problems with the switch..is't serious?....

Keycool it is then.
