Hi I have a Poker II but sometimes I miss the arrowkeys. Any keyboard to suggest at about RM3xx (probably TKL) that is locally available? Looking for something minimalistic like the Poker II but must be available in MX blues. Prefer if they come with stock PBT keycaps as well.

Also, maybe someone can suggest an easy fix for the Poker II arrowkey problem that works for them? (instead of having to hold the function key)

Afaik, poker2 is remap-able, with the latest, firmware you can reprogram the right corner modifiers to dedicated cursor keys.

Hi guys, I am going to buy the first ever mkb in my life  biggrin.gif

Need some advices here.

I am buying a mechanical keyboard for normal gaming purpose. Currently I managed to find some 2nd hand keyboards in forum with few months of warranty left but I also found some completely new keyboard at cheaper price from taobao  but without warranty.

I am planning to do some modding on my keyboard after I have enough budget for it too.

Which should I choose?
*
Lurk for a longer time in garage sale, from time to time, there will be used mech kb at around half of the original price.

Else, getting chinaboards from taobao is also fun, since many of them is actually very diy friendly, with holes and circuit for LED modding.

Most probably improper soldering or even detached copper plate (the latter is more pain in ass to fix).

Better stop pressing the button to avoid any further damage.

No, as in changing from cherry stabs to co-star stabs.

He mean cherry stabiliser clipping.

You can't directly mod cherry stabiliser to costar, or the vice versa.

But there are such spreading that clipped cherry stabiliser is as good as costar one.

1) Is Cherry MX a series of mkb or the name of manufacturer?

2) yeah I don't mind that kind of key caps

3) can you further explain this point?

4)It is a must ! haha

5)what does linear means?

6) Yeah ducky shine is very eye catching biggrin.gif
*
1) Cherry MX refers to the switches.

2/3) Refer to 1st page for more info regarding keycap materials/printings and their properties.

4) Ducky Shine is a pretty good board for those who need backlit.

5) Linear = non-tactile. Tactile means the bumpy feel after you pressed a key.

Taobao got clear (transparent) keycaps too, but quality rise I not sure if good or not.

Around RM1 per piece, if getting in little quantity.

I'm back guys, and I need some advice. I'm looking for replacement key caps for my Corsair K95, something like this. http://www.corsair.com/us/parts/keyboard-p...-palm-rest.html

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

Thanks.

If you can shop from US, corsair do sell them at their webpage.

Else, taobao got, the price roughly the same as what being stated in corsair site too iinm.

Shine3 variant need back to back order (and also ComingSoonTM...).

Shine Zero variant isn't that much magical and attractive.

Hi guys

First of all thanks to Human10 Moogle Stiltzkin [dadudeneverabides] for replying my post with some fine explanations.

Now I would like to have recommendations as :

Preferred Budget : Not more than RM1000
Preferred layout : full layout
Preferred switch : don't know? as long as it benefits a gamer, linear switches
Preferred keycaps : WASD sprayed/wrapped in PINK, others in WHITE.
Hopefully has LED lighting rclxms.gif

1. Get ducky shine3 > replace the keycaps.
2. Get ikbc f104 modded from @016, buy your own keycaps.
*
Else if you are adventurous, you can try the Deck Hassium. Quite similar to Shine3 but come with better stock keycaps. Available from Singapore's retail stores IINM.

didn't notice they have a new model  drool.gif and seems it has media keys too !  rclxms.gif

the deck hassium uses a unique double shot keycaps that also works well for led lighted keyboards

it seems to me that the deck hassium quality is much better than the ducky shine 3..... but what i am not sure is, whether the hassium is comparable to ducky shine 3's led lighting modes ? i am aware the older deck legend could adjust the light brightness, but not sure if it can do the advance modes like strobbing etc that the ducky shine 3 has managed to do perfectly.
*
The new Deck is made in China by same manufacturer of Ducky Zero and iKBC. But I think their design line is a cross cooperation of China, Taiwan and may be more.

Yup, Hassium is having a similar backlit capability as Ducky Shine 3.
