make sure ur next keyboard is standard layout

yeah...that one is standard layout. looks solid from the video.
but there's a chance it might be topre switch, cherry mx stem hybrid seeing that the keypress is silence, unless they mute the video.

According to some reports, there have been missing sets cases on shipments to SEA region, and of course Malaysia falls in the same region as well and we pretty much don't want to see our beloved Raindrop sets missing!
The problem with this is, the shipping that bunnylake is using for this GB is non-tracking type, to me, it's a high risk method as I've personally lost package that was shipped internationally before.

So some forumers here thought of a way to minimalize this risk by consolidating our orders and ship directly from UK with a tracking shipment method, IF bunnnylake agreed to it, but there's high possibility for this to happen.

I've created a survey form for this purpose. If you are interested in getting anything from the Raindrop Round 2 and want to combine orders together,
kindly fill it in so we can have a good estimate on what's the shipping charges will be like.

Be reminded that the deadline for this Groupbuy is 31st January 2014.

i see u ordering 2 sets?

done

not exactly, just gathering information on what's the community's interest is like over here.
trying to fully utilize a safe shipment with tracking.
deadline is still 31st january 2014.
will update from time to time.

yes it's doubleshot ABS.
SP DCS profile.

right, just fill in the form that i have made.
links i just put it on my siggy

if that's the case maybe u should order at least one tkl set for raindrop if u r getting the blue mods.
otherwise u will regret till bola pecah XD

ainuddin, mau join us in QQ chatroom?

last raindrop was early this year.

there's a very very high chance that this set will not go into round 3 d

keycool 87 or plum 87

if u want clicky sound, u should go for blue switch.
recently there's one user here with a corsair board, have 1 led not working.
can't remember if he got RMA it or not.

but if i were to give u suggestion, go for ducky shine 3 or ducky zero shine if LED is a must and u want to get it locally.
i suggest that because it's standard layout as oppose to corsair, which is using non-standard layout.

this is because by using standard layout, you have the option to change all your keycaps by buying aftermarket keycaps from groupbuys or taobao, which you will see people post here every once in a while.
if u get urself a non-standard layout board, u'll be unable to change the CTRL ALT SPACEBAR row entirely and that is a pain because modifier keys are usually the pretty ones.

i'm letting u know so u can consider this and be more aware of what your choices will give u so u don't have regrets later.
hopefully i make sense in my explaination here

almost all stock keycaps are using ABS plastic to manufacture the keycaps, except for a few that i know is using PBT plastic for their stock keycaps (keycool pbt and ducky g2pro).
the problem is this, with ABS keycaps, it will gradually start to "shine" after 3 weeks or so, depending on how heavy ur usage is and whether u have a habit of eating chips between typing or sweaty hands.
even worse if the keycaps have some sort of rubber coating or matte coating and have backlit legend (for example razer blackwidow ultimate), because when that coating comes off, u have ugly looking keycaps and it will make ur whole keyboard looks ugly as well.

so, logically u would want to replace them keycaps.
if u want to have uniform keycaps, same theme, u will have to buy them from keycaps seller mainly from taobao. but u can only buy back the same one as your k95 (i'm not sure if taobao is selling k95 keycaps) because the major aftermarket keycaps are of a different size layout from your k95. meaning it won't have a 100% compatibility fit. for all i know, the spacebar will never fit, and u have to spend quite a lot to get the extra kits of the keycaps set...maybe u wouldn't understand what i'm talking now >.<
bottomline is, most "gaming marketed" keyboards are using non-standard layout. getting keycaps replacement is a big headache.
why we recommend ducky when most newbie ask for recommendations is because ducky is using standard layout and it's available locally.
so yes, the flexibility to replace all keycaps is a dealbreaker for most of us

i believe it's a good board. and i strongly believe some of us old members would have gotten corsair boards if they conform to standard layout
but in regards to minor issue like led problem, we would rather fix it ourselves by replacing the led as it'll only take at most a day to do it rather than weeks to RMA. but of course, voiding warranty is an issue. unless u are ok with voiding the warranty early or can find a way to remove the void sticker without tampering it or know where to find this stickers

where u staying? one shop that i know which is heavy-arm in subang, let customers try out the different switches. either that, maybe some forumers here who stays near to u might be able to let u try their boards if they have it.

u send it for RMA?

too many things happening...haha! forgot jor

if u r using Google Chrome, u can translate the whole page into English. very nice feature.
if u r using Firefox, i think there's a page translator extension u can download...i'm not sure since i'm using Chrome to translate.

we all use taobao agent for our taobao purchases.
most of us use cloud8318 or cutieangel or chrishe i think... (wah...all the name start with C wan!)

ppl can get keyboard for <RM50.
u think most ppl willing to pay at least 4x to 20x higher than that for something that functions the same? lol!
