How much normally the price of shipping key caps to M'sia from US?
Saw in thread the IMSTO PBT will use UPSP, so the shipping price is astronomical high? sad.gif

I just learn to type without looking at the keyboard..
at first, quite difficult.. but better with practice smile.gif

Yup, the bump at F & J is for touch typing use.
Touch typer here... Biasa liao then will type very fast.
You may want to change your caplock to backspace for better typing exp.

With the proper typing style and layout you can easily achieve beyond 150 WPM~  brows.gif

proper typing style using 10 fingers and touch typing can reduce the mistakes of typing coz each fingers station on the same position. Reduce movement.
Highly recommended. The problem of starting learn how to use 10 fingers is the pinky fingers are too weak for the switches like blue~
Layout not necessary increase the typing speed. qwerty still can type as fast as dvorak and colemak.

Actually, qwerty is indeed more limiting and tiring compared to others, the work loads are more concentrated on the left hand.

qwerty too much fingers movement for a mainstream layout.
Current top online typist is qwerty user. laugh.gif

far diff from cheap abs.

Do premium abs get shining as fast as normal abs?
How about the premium abs compared to normal thickness pbt, which resist to shining?

Agreed. Try typing 'the' on qwerty and dvorak for 100 times then the difference is clear. My dvorak speed is only 70% than my QWERTY. Hope I can catch up soon enough tongue.gif

By the way, try typing on Dvorak for an hour then QWERTY, you would be amazed on the wonders of the muscle memory! Although there will be some moments of mixing up the keys  flex.gif
*
'the' is located on the home row in the dvorak, there is no fingers movement to another position.
Btw, what dvorak layout you are using?
Dvorak Right ? left? programmer? variant (own design)?
Normally, people change to dvorak sure has a reason. biggrin.gif

I'm using the standard version. Well preventing CTS is one of the reason. It also serves as a great encryption tool  flex.gif

Standard mean is English Dvorak right.
I think old guy like us will need care our health. CTS always the reason to change layout.
You should change ur caplock to backspace for better typing experience because default backspace is very far to reach. smile.gif

Do you find any dvorak layout keycaps?

Anyone from here know how to check Ducky keyboard (real/official or not) with serial number or something similar to that? Might do a check tomorrow when got mine
*
Each type of keyboard have distinct Vendor ID and Product ID.
If the Ducky is made in Taiwan, from the same factory as Filco (made in Taiwan) , that is Holtek Semiconductor, Inc. (vendor id = 04d9).
After that, just check the product id of the keyboard whether it match. eg Ducky Shine 2 from Taiwan having product id 0267.

If you using Windows, you can check Device Manager>Keyboards>Details>Parent.
Downside is you must connected to the Windows to check.

I do not know the exact vendor id, product id of ur soon purchase ducky.
You may ask those having the same ducky as ur soon purchase.

His is Shine Zero, made in China, not sure the id thing same or not.
*
Not same, if compared to Taiwan, different manufacturer/sub-con having different vendor id for identify manufacturer name.

Just find people using ducky shine zero, then can compare.
If you already know which sub-con is doing the ducky shine zero then easier to find the vendor id.

Just believe is real then ok.. Sometime, people buy something for cheaper price will worried if really real product or fake.

Yep the English Dvorak layout.

I've recently ordered a set of unprinted thick PBT keycaps from IMSTO via Taobao. Sadly the items is still yet to arrive. It would be a rare breed to find printed caps for Dvorak considering most of these keycaps varies in heights.
*
Blank key caps are nice biggrin.gif
For dvorak user, we are heavily use of the home row, then top row.
After long time use, may need to swap out certain keys for replacement.
I bought normal pbt blank 108keys set + 37 keys set(for future swap).
It's rather confusing for dvorak layout user having the qwerty keys on keyboard. smile.gif
Is the thick pbt can last longer for the surface to shine?

This same like Banksy selling authentical art in New York.
Few people bought it for usd 60 but never know the current market of the art price is usd61k to millions usd.
Few pieces people bought, not good selling. smile.gif
Few days later, fake Banksy art was sold in New York.
All fake arts sold out that day. sad.gif

Business still is business. Thanks for the original maker made this famous.
Now is the time for other makers get the profits.

Thank you for the translation help.
Keyboards are a tool for me, not a fashion item. All my peripherals are black. And dirt and discolouration will be less of a problem for me.

Last question, what phrases do you use to search for cherry keycaps? I used cherry 键帽 and got many other listings including (cherry) keyboards of all kinds which I don't want.
Any recommended stores/sellers? I'm interested in doubleshot abs especially and ordinary cherry abs if I find the standard oem legends too small.
*
Keycool do come in black color as well.
If you do not like about the pbt, you can sell off to others, may have a lot of takers. smile.gif
Btw, me also a keycool pbt keycaps takers.

cherry abs > allllllllllll
well, pbt is still better generally because it hardly get shine.
the good pbt like imsto one has very fine texture, also very smooooooooth.

abs is kind of "sticky" when the keycaps shine.
*
I never type on cherry abs..
Why cherry abs is the best to you?
The FEEL? Want to know what is the special attraction, since mainstream like pbt.

I am discussing with Ivan about shipping to agent address.
Ivan -> IMSTO -> Kilang -> IMSTO - > Ivan

So I could ask Ivan to inform kilang send it directly to mainland address.
