A summary of news on CES that concerns keyboards in general. By Rosewill: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7695/rosewil...and-more-at-cesBy Corsair: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7685/hands-o...boards-and-moreBy CM Storm: The Novatouch and backlit version of QFR-ish KB. By Diamond Multimedia: http://www.legitreviews.com/diamond-multimedia_133447Among those four, I'm liking CM Storm camp. Rosewill was kinda silent on MKBs, maybe just an update on their budget line. If i missed a few, do add. This post has been edited by amirinz: Jan 15 2014, 12:08 PM

Wow... a few weeks/months since last post and so far already :|
Anyway, the blue LED backlight + red legend on white doubleshot experiment didn't pan out. Colours come out weird, and the light leakage in the 105th-108th keys & spacebar makes it annoying to say the least.
Doesn't feel much better than my usual PBT keys either, so...

QUOTE(quovadis123 @ Jan 15 2014, 10:20 AM) Retired mode activated.  I'm interested to know the keyboard you wanted to keep and use but never intend to sell it. I guess now you think keyboard is a tool for typing instead of hobby right now. It's still a tool, a wonderful one. Here's what I have HHKB POKER DUCK poker Topre 87U silent KMAC FILCO 87 MX Blue White IBM SSK Leopold FC660C That's about it I guess, once the Cheat goes.

Bro, Keep so much keyboard for future ah, don't want let go? I thought you will only keep those like HHKB, topre and custom and legacy keyboard. Normally, everyone will keep the best of the best keyboards. Why Filco, Leopold and poker? Interested to know veteran sifu keep these 3 brands.

QUOTE(BlizzardCraft @ Jan 15 2014, 02:02 PM) any to let go?  Maybe the Filco int he future. If you don't have a poker or poker sized keyboard, you are not an enthusiast. Maybe just a collector. So many things can be done on a poker. @blizzardcraft, Read my post again. The last line.
