don't know where are you staying, but there's czone in lowyat and there's http://www.heavy-arm.com/category.php?id_category=14

not sure if it's purple or poor lighting.
but yes, it fit poker2 or any 60% boards that can fit in hammer case lol

been buying a lot of keycaps i see
even a mod is not immune to the mkb poison

i think the CM Storm Mech's built should be good. it's alu case and possibly their top tier mkb model.
i've never open up to see the pcb of the cm storm mech or any cm storm's mkb to be honest...so i'm not commenting on that!

also i didn't go research on really how good is a thick pcb or dual layer pcb is. less chance of pcb failure? components failure isn't because of pcb right? and since almost all keyboard is using a plate to support, how does a thick pcb contributes to it? maybe some expert can help answer that, i myself also not very sure about what i've mentioned

btw, the DAS keyboard's pcb looks really simple and it can be flexed easily.

thought we had this explained to you already last night? not convincing enough? what was your interest in the k70?

it's using alu case, definitely can feel the difference from plastic case. if you can try a custom keyboard that's using alu case....
but why generally most of the mkb user here avoid gaming keyboard because they have non-standard layout size, usually on the CTRL ALT SPACEBAR row.
that makes changing a full keycap set difficult.

and i just had a thought, it seems like most gaming keyboards uses almost the same layout.
i've seen 1.5x ctrl, 1x winkey, 1.25x/1.5x alt, spacebar, i'm not too sure liao...6x? 6.5x?

y u say got GB but no provide linkz!

i addicted to this thread liao >.<
have u personally tried the different switches? because i enjoy typing and gaming (more typing now since i can't game at work) and before getting my first mkb, i thought i would love brown switch. but after i tried my hands on both brown and blue switch, i fell in love with blue switch. it's so clicky and satisfying with each keystroke but the enjoyment is not for the people around u.

if the design is what you are looking for, then go ahead. there's at least one more user here who uses a k70 and one of my friend is using a k95, both of them like their keyboard's design.
for the k70, the special WASD12345 keys are fortunately, available to purchase in taobao

but if you are into keycaps changing, do note that when u buy aftermarket keycaps set, u'll have a hard time getting a desirable result at the CTRL ALT SPACEBAR row as it's of different size. it's not totally impossible to change them, just that you have to be more creative and spend a little more money on it

and yes, most of us are into keycaps changing. i know of one particular user here who regret and is in so much sadness that his keyboard is not standard layout and couldn't change all the keycaps.

while i don't subscribe to the idea that ducky is the best mkb around, i can't say much about the quality difference in ducky's and cm storm's mech as i didn't touch cmstorm mech before.
perhaps it's the culture here that gaming brand keyboard is subpar compared to other standard layout keyboard due to it being more difficult to change into the desired keycaps as majority here wants to be able to change keycaps without much restriction unless it's coming from the wallet or keycaps design.
the ducky is considered one of the top because it's built quality is rigid and robust compared to the other standard layout boards...filco is hardly mentioned because it's always...not available in malaysia and it doesn't have full led functionality despite previously being hailed as the top quality mech kb king.

what's important is the user's feel when typing on the keyboard.



food for thought, if keycaps maker starts making universal keycap sets, will gaming mkb kena bashed so terukly over here?

i think i wasn't referring to k70 when i was talking about the alu case...haha! i was referring to cmstorm mech which was alu case.

apa cina ini? taobao search ah?

yes, he is the distro, but when u check with him, u get the dreaded Out Of Stock and he tells u new stock is coming soon...since few months ago.

cmstorm quickfire rapid receives a lot of love though although now it's out of production...haha!

i feel you bro!

wah..that is keycool white side print pbt keycaps?
looks nice! so white!

and...so kesian about your cloud LOL!
the cloud is cherry profile?

then i suppose it's cherry profile. so sorry...although i was looking for novelty keycaps for my ducky's 4 top right corner buttons, i don't have any cherry profile keycaps set.

speaking of which, imsto classic keycaps is already in penang and should be shipping to my house already!

your sticker arrive liao?

this is what we called the sticker mod.
the sticker is placed in between the switch housing to provide better stability on the switch.
also it gives a little decorative effect...haha!

to see the sticker better, u can buy transparent switch housing from taobao...
do you regret asking?

the place i'm working at has a vinyl cutter machine. i'm trying to see if i can get to put MOZ's moose sticker dwg file and stretch them across whatever sticker sheet size and use that machine to cut it...

unless using plates that allows switch opening without desoldering!

there's a DIY switch housing remover made from binder clips.
seen a few videos where the modder uses that...i think one of them is dangwang or whitefiredragon

yeah...but nevermind lah...i'll be building it from scratch. so there's no need to desolder it in the first place...can straight swap spring and stickered before soldering it in

keyboard with stock clears got, but so far i think i can find is from keycool.

ergo clear is clear switch that is not using it's stock springs.
