full size is always the most practical keyboard in any scenario, the numpads is darn useful when u need to key in numbers.
tkl is a good size, short enough to save u some space and it's easy on the eyes. but when you will miss the numpads if u ever use them before.
60% is a fun size, darn sexy and cute, but loses it's practicality. though, i believe with some learning and finger coordination skills, u'll be able to use a 60% like a tkl. and getting a numpad only board to complete the combo!

but after saying all that, when u're in this thread, money is flowing away from your wallet yo! cry.gif

Will stick with full size until I buy a separate numpad for accounting/etc biggrin.gif My target is to spam my DS3 for at least 3-5 years else lol can't justified the chunk of money to my wife, hahaha.

On the money part, lol, absolutely true - I am checking out the taobao site even when I don't read a single Chinese word. Translating one by one via Google Translate and target to get some clear keycaps after CNY.

Cheaper to get clear keycaps from signature plastics I think.

But clear keycaps only can get polycarbonate right? IDK if got other materials that can do clear plastics. If you have can you share tongue.gif

Shipping comes to about 9.75USD for Standard International. I pay using paypal, so the item must arrive for me or I will complain through paypal channels and they will get into more trouble than it's worth (and resend). #evil

That's my main beef with the clear sets. Polycarb. Not sure if I'll be ok with the feels or not.

Do you know any local sellers, or anyone here makes em?

Thanks.

my 2 years logitech g510 have an important key spoilt already. s since i got some extra cash to spend this month. i decided to go for mechanical keyboard, hoping the keys will be sturdier than membrane type. so i need recommendation on which switch type and keyboard fit me.

1. must have media control keys. especially volume control knob. i always listen to my mp3 while playing.
2. have some macro key. dont need too many. i learnt that i dont use my macro button too much with my g510. 18 macro key is overkill for me haha.
3. must be easy for double tapping. i double tap alot in my games i currently play.
4. i think i would like the clicking sound too.
5. budget : no more than rm 500. the cheaper..the better.

will be going to lowyat plaza this saturday and buy the keyboard

#3 and 4 MIGHT have a conflict with each other.
#3, would mean red, black or brown switch.
#4, would mean blue or green switch.

but with that being said, i play games that requires quite some tapping as well and i'm using blue switch. totally no problem with multi tapping on my blue switch.
you really need to go and try those switches out for yourself to know which one is suitable to your liking.

i think the only keyboard that comes into mind is logitech's G710+ which is running on brown switches. (no clicky sound)
the volume control is actually a scroll wheel. other than that, i really have no idea what other mkb that comes with a control knob for multimedia.

a very gentle warning though. the g710+ doesn't adopt standard layout. and what i mean by that in summary is that should you ever want to replace the whole keycaps for that board, you will face some challenges in replacing the ctrl winkey alt spacebar modifier row.

if replacing keycaps is totally not a concern of yours, then i can safely say this board should be suitable for your needs.

The constraint of his requirement restrict him to venture to common mechanical keyboard with standard layout, is the 1# which is volume control knob.
His requirements more to gaming keyboard with mechanical switches. smile.gif

I would recommend to buy separate volume controller.

Get the Corsair K95 like I did.

-Has media control keys and volume knob.
- Full bank of macro keys on the left side.
- Double tapping can be done easily.
- Cherry MX Red, not much of a click sound compared to MX Brown, but makes a slight.click noise nonetheless.
- SRP RM499
