but its the matter of time. its been a 1.1 weeks now, 2.9 weeks to go.

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?

Hi all sifu.. Anyone can recommend any/good side-printed pbt keycaps?
filco compatible ofc. Thanks

Kasi budget dulu.
No budget there are wide range for you to choose.

Actually, check out some other forumers signature.
They are selling those PBT keycaps at nice price.
For starter, they are decent enough.
Until you venture into another level..

Budget <=RM200
Checked out some but mostly they are front-printed keycaps.

yeah. i thought you knew, as i wrote about it a week ago.

New updates on Raindrop set, http://ctrlaltgroupbuy.com/buys/raindrop-r2

A lot of people here baca.
Or translate.
Click click and find rmb360.
then you can use agent.
you pay him via m2u or cimb also ok.

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!)

The K70 model has a problem with led's dying one by one. Its not an isolated issue. Not the higher end K95 though.

Alright! Thank you both sifu

when one LED is dead, i worry that this issue will happen on me, so its better for me to send back for warranty.
and no more programmable lighting keys for me after it went back from a vacation.

Hey guys, I'm curious..
Why mkb are not availble widely, and not commonly known by people?
Is mkb still a new thing?
When I woke up earlier, this question popped into my head

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!

Yes u r right..
I "jalan-jalan" yesterday, to computer hardware shop, just looking..
I saw many kb below rm50.. even for Logitech brand, got quite a few choices..
My last logitech kb is exactly rm50..
Maybe u r right, the cost is a bomb, but I don't really mind, also don't mind to get another mkb
This is quite addictive I must say, hohoho

Last time you said only 3 weeks...
Now how come become 4 weeks?
eh
