I already have a sidewinder x4 and btw I'm not a hardcore gamer. Most of the time I'm doing video editing and school projects happy.gif

Moogle Stiltzkin dayummmm !! The deck hassium is far cooler than the ducky shine 3 rclxm9.gif

the sidewinder x4 is a pretty good keyboard in the rubber dome category because it has nkro.

however you can still upgrade to a mkb and experience better quality nod.gif

a few things to note .....

- yes there is red cherry mx switch for the Hassium.
- some people dislike the font used (be sure that you are okay with it first)




i also saw a modified version which another shop is selling

We're delighted to introduce the Asia Pacific Edition of the Deck Hassium Pro. Featuring:

ABS Laser Etched key caps in Helvetica font (but cheaper vs the US editions).
LED lighting patterns user programmable in basic. (We're really looking forward to seeing what people come up with).
User define key remaps / macros which can be uploaded and downloaded from the keyboard allowing alternative layout such as Colemak and Dvorak.

http://www.mechkb.com/blog/news/introducin...o-apac-edition/




it has 4 led colors (not sure whether this applies to the original as well or not)
QUOTE
With Cherry MX Black, Brown, Blue and Red Switches as well as four LED Colours (White, Blue, Orange and Green)



the APAC review
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=53503.0


there was a question isn't remodelling the deck hassium from pbt to abs, and from double shot keycaps to laser etched, defeat the reason for getting a deck keyboard ? (a legitimate question)
QUOTE
Hello berserkfan, we consulted extensively with Deck before this decision was made to offer this model and the decision to go to ABS was not done lightly and is being done in conjunction with the DS PBT model currently available in the USA. The reason for a Helvetica ABS model is because of feedback in two fronts:

1. Users, particularly those for whom English is a first language (in particular Australia and New Zealand), dislike the deck font and were generally unwilling to pay a premium for it.

2. DS PBT is expensive to produce and, accordingly, costs more  at retail which put it out of reach of many in APAC who have relatively low buying power.

We believe that a having an ABS Helvetica option was a suitable solution to both these problems. And, even not withstanding the above, we believe the consistant quality of deck keyboards across their whole line, the addition of a key remapping layer and LED scripting layer makes the Deck Hassium Pro an attractive value proposition in it's own right compared to it's competitors, particularly as the library of user created layouts and LED patterns increase. I understand these features may not be attractive to everyone and we hope to be able to offer a fuller range of Deck products as time goes on.

You want to self import? How about the warranty, shipping fee, and risk of missing parcel? And not to mention DECK legend almost looks like ordinary keyboard, except it's DS PBT. To make things easier why not:
- Buy Ducky, got warranty RM 500. *Locally
- Buy imsto keycaps RM 300. Or buy those high quality ABS RM 300-400. *Taobao
- Buy leather wrist rest RM 50. *Taobao
- Bored with RM 40 look, you always can paint the casing. Or join groupbuy, get a custom casing.

Is there any reason you don't want Ducky but want DECK? Why not get the WASD or the birdie something keyboard? Or try check out Sprit geekhack custom keyboard. There's no cheap keyboard with acrylic casing AFAIK.

Buy this:

Warranty 6 bulan, two color LED, DS PBT, cost less, and not too mainstream.

I think I saw Deck Hassium/Francium at a store (X-treme Solution) in Sim Lim Square when I was trying out DS3 the other time. It looked nice but I got hooked with the green Jedi-light DS3 instead.

Will ask my wife to go try the different MKB out this weekend.

Both decent. Buy the one you like the look/price. Both also using standard layouts, so there isn't much difference. Both Made in China, probably by the same factory for all we know.

Stealth. Warranty, and can get locally.
Keycool. Cheap and stock PBT.

Both worth it. But I prefer Stealth considering no financial restrict. In case budget problem, get Keycool. I think Stealth QC is better. But further googling returned me customer feedback for Stealth at Newegg or Amazon, they're kinda have some issue too.

=>Cherry MX-Red's are another switch that can be considered a "gaming" switch. It's essentially a lighter version of the MX Black, requiring less force to actuate. Most people do not find this switch that good for typing or gaming because it is so light. This switch is hard to find; and was reported as obsolete. Though some board makers still use it for Special Edition keyboards
ehhh? is this true? some ppl say Cherry MX-Red is best for gaming. or is it down down one's preference?

while it's true that mx red is marketed as gaming switch, it still boils down to one's preferences.
no doubt it's good for double tapping or multiple spamming with red switch, but the same can be done with other types of switches, even blue switch.

you have to try it yourself to know what type your finger prefers.
