QUOTE(calkh @ Nov 1 2013, 01:32 AM) It's a lot closer to 1 kg, not sure where rumours started about it being light.....The TK has a steel plate and the weight, plus rubber feet means it hasn't moved around accidentally in all the time that I use it. From what you have said. Ive change my mind. I should go for cm storm tk first since im first timer. I donno where to buy keycaps and modded it yet. Since i also eager for LED. And TK is also 1kg. I think TK is not bad. Am I right?????As for why I bought TK: 1. backlit 2. numpad 3. TKL size Unless you enter into custom keyboard league - those combinations above are unbeatable. Major negatives: 1. one of the LEDs broke - wouldn't light up anymore 2. non-standard layout.....you do get jealous looking at all the guys here with their keycaps. 3. ABS keycaps. My spacebar is shining dy. Have to ignore forever - coz of no (2) Neutral: The key legends..some people love it....some would rather die than be seen with it. I fall into the don't care camp - I don't look at the keys when I type. The backlight only helps when I need to hunt for keys during gaming. |

QUOTE(SoulRex @ Nov 1 2013, 10:33 PM) ABS/PBT/POM are all types of plastic used for keycaps. 1st page got brief definition of each. Super simple explanation is PBT/POM >>> ABS (although there are exceptions for some ABS suppliers)Pad-Printed, Laser-etch, Dye-Sub, Doubleshot are all methods to print the legends on the keycaps themselves. Generally, Double-shot > Dye-Sub > Laser > Pad-Print (but double-shot is only available on ABS IINM) Very good explanation available here: http://www.overclock.net/t/491752/mechanic...de#post_6009683 |

QUOTE(SoulRex @ Nov 1 2013, 10:33 PM) Printing methods.Like you always see on your keyboard, those are normally either Pad Printed (akind to a sticker stick onto keycaps) or lasered. The durability of them are pretty short. Dye-sub or doubleshot on the other hand are some older and more unique ways of printing, which is much much more durable but costly, hence you won't normally find it in modern keyboards (those old keyboards like IBM, hp and bla bla bla are mostly dye-sub or doubleshot). |

Since i also eager for LED. And TK is also 1kg. I think TK is not bad. Am I right????? Wow...you're too late dy - justnits was letting go of his KeyCool just few days ago. Now - it's your money, so final decision is always your. QF TK is backlit - if backlit is a MUST, it is not a bad buy. I'm probably just unlucky with QC issue for my unit. Now - if you're buying this keyboard as a one time deal and you're not going to get into MKB hobby at all - by all means, QF TK is fine. I heard the keycaps are also slightly higher quality than QFR, but I cannot confirm this (don't have QFR). It's definitely far better than any Razer BW out there.....Slightly better keycaps also means it should last slightly longer than QFR. The super big advantage of QFR though - is that it is standard layout. If you enjoy the rush of mechanical keyboards, by all means QFR (or Stealth) is the better buy. |
