*I guess I am still very new to mkb - my preference is still full QWERTY set in either black/white frames/overall, TKL is a bit short for me especially when I am doing accounts/calculation.

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

Ohh, didn't know that you only have poly clear key caps but seeing the pic from SP, it seems not bad drool.gif Gonna check out Youtube to see on how it looks as well, and hmm, USD40 for full set... If I really splurge on it then I gonna add this thread to my list of unhealthy threads in LYN, wallet pain lol.

Thanks for the link bro! Quick check though, any idea how long would it take for them to send the key caps over?

y so susah brudder, use Google Chrome, when you go to taobao page, there's a friendly notification that ask you whether you want to translate the whole page into English. click on the little arrow and select Always Translate Chinese...and ur wallet will hate us both more...haha!

Haha, I am using mostly Firefox - will use my Chrome for it tonight, forgot they have full page translation. My wife actually hates the fact that I am starting to shop more than her nowadays biggrin.gif

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.
