If you don't know desoldering, then there also no much meaning/reason to get switches, not? hmm.gif
Of course got. like the time i imported most of my water cooling gear from overseas, i had the computer shop help me assemble it. These days you don't need to know yourself, as long as you know someone who provides the service to do it professionally for you.
In this i believe 0168257061 provides this service. Could be useful to me many years from now if my switch wears out, if ever

Hey guys, intend to buy a mech keyboard and pretty much came down to the Ducky Zero and Rosewill RK9000, which is the better one? Ducky is slightly more exp but i've read the the mini-USB port on the RK9000 can be faulty. Thanks
RK-9000 the review
Comments about the usb connector. Also read the video comments as well on the matter
Ducky shine zero the review
Me personally i think Ducky looks nice, assuming it has cherry mx brown Or even red good as well.
I did a quick price browse
RK-9000

skipping upgrading pc. get custom keyboard + keycaps dulu
can also. there isn't a clear right or wrong answer, but personally i like a better monitor and graphics card firstly. CPU needs to be beefy too. Have enough ram preferably 8gb or more. hard drive space 4-6 tb is okay (i have nas with 12tb already ). then casing, and water cooling components..... gaming mouse..... mouse pad.... mouse bungee.....router...... hifi headphones and speakers .......
as you can see there is alot of computer components, and not everyone can get them all at once. My pc gaming rig took me more than a year to put together eventually
"Once marginalized by their extravagant pricing, Topre mechanical keyboards have now entered (somewhat) more affordable territory. How does the $150 Topre Type Heaven stack up against other mechanical keyboards based on the more popular Cherry MX switches? We investigate."
QUOTE
Earlier this year, Topre introduced the Type Heaven, a keyboard that brings the firm's unique spring-and-rubber switches to a no-frills package with a less terrifying price tag. Right now, you can find the Type Heaven on sale for $150 at Amazon—not a huge step up from, say, the Cherry MX-based Das Keyboard Model S, which sells for $139.
Topre had to cut a few corners to reach the lower price point, of course. The Type Heaven is manufactured in China rather than Japan, and it lacks some of the bells and whistles of its pricier brethren, such as distributed key switch weighting and the ability to re-map keys with hardware DIP switches. Also, the Type Heaven's key caps are made of a different type of plastic, and they're laser etched rather than printed using more durable dye sublimination.
Those sacrifices are small, though, and they've helped to make the Type Heaven an interesting—and competitive—alternative to high-end Cherry MX keyboards. The folks at EliteKeyboards.com were kind enough to send us one to test, and I've spent the past little while banging away on it.
