Just wondering if anything like this got market here

any opinion?

yeah it's the orginial Max Keyboard Black Translucent keycaps with ISO modifier, as well as 8 novelty keys and 2 additional non-standard length Spacebars. Retail in US is used to be 50 USD, now 40USD and somemore 10USD discount, so can get it from 30USD + shipping.. so.. yeahh....

btw, the keycaps are actually translucent, so on a backlit keyboard, it is almost* transparent..

it's actually right next to me..............

Hi wildwestgoh.. unfortunately, no... i'm a fresh grad, trying to earn a living thru this business. No rich parents = not much capital = not enuf money to rent physical store. Are you from Kuching as well? right now, i am promoting via lowyat and my wordpress blog, and doing sales almost exclusively via COD if possible.

whhich switch u buy? if blue, u should contact me, i have demo unit. can meet up let u try before u buy. Incoming brown and red demo units soon as well..

when i bought my first, tried blue n brown. brown almost linear, bump to me is almost non-existent.. but i'm a heavy typer so.. yeah..
Thanks thanks

FYI, if u want try blue, just let me know.. you try doesnt mean you must buy... just make sure fingers clean cos just changed white PBTs... =P

It's kinda true... My rosewill blues.. <3

Anyone can recommend kb switch lube for CoStar stabilisers in Kuching, or even Msia? my Shift key gettin sticky after change

yeah, all the way in.. im pretty sure its the lube cos i removed quite a lot of lube when i changed the keycaps.. Tamiya? nice.. i should be able to get here.. thanks

o.0" i was thinking of the RC specialty shop at one jaya but i bet anything hopoh sure cheaper.. didnt know there got..

Thanks but yeah... i re-inserted properly.. learnt my lesson when switched the spacebar and flipped the inserts.. couldnt fit at all... this shift sticky only 2-3 days after change.. changed on monday, worked fine until about an hour ago where it started sticking... THanks again tho..

Massdrop has standard USPS tracking. Can confirm, shipped from them.

anyone have extra cherry switch? looking for MX Red, MX Black and MX Brown. Others also can. Also looking for donor board (working or spoilt, both can consider).. wanna make a keyboard with diff switches for customer to try diff MX Switch.. wanna promote mkb here in Kuching

thanks for the replies!

yeahh.. preferable if got case, but if no case, will try and make one out of either wood or.... lego?... =D



Can buy, but if got ppl here wanna sell, don't need anymore, can buy from them ma.. save money (if cheaper), save greenhouse gas (transport nearer), and no need waste materials also..


barebone board? board originally from which kb standard (filco, rosewill, ducky) or non standard (CM QF TK, Corsair)? only mx blues available? already have mx blue board (the only switch i have atm, if fact) but interested if price is right? heh

Wow.. u modded the plate to a steel one? must not be cheap, then.. scared out of my budget already.. how much can u offer? on a tight budget here =[.. also, out of curiosity.. what happen to the cover? hands too itchy?


got... tried looking already.. QWERkeys one out of stock, MAX Keyboards one shipping is ridiculous, CM Storm one need bring in myself, official distributor dont/ cannot bring in. some more, those all 1 switch to test out only.. like u said, u press one switch, u dont really know you will like or not.. my plan is to provide at least 10-15 keys per switch type on a standard 104-key layout so ppl can test them out a bit... some more here in kuching, no HeavyArm Garage.. the only place to test mechanical is either at friend's house or PC Image, selling Razer Blackwidow. IMO, blackwidow MX Blues not a very good representation of Blues in general.. i dont know but i feel they're a bit lighter than usual? or maybe is razer's keycaps different..

Yeah.. exactly.. thats why i'm dreaming of opening a shop here with demo units of all types of MX Switches, priority right now to the 4 most common ones.. I feel here got market, that's why i'm trying to promote it to any1/every1... personally though, i don't agree with the "gaming" tag given to mkbs in general... it's gimmicky and takes away from the actual purpose of buying an mkb, the feel... hopefully my business goes well and i can promote mkb here and get more mech users.. =]

Seems like hand being itchy is a disease more contagious than SARS here...

anyway.. are u referring to the MAX Keyboards one? i would prefer the QWERkeys 6-switch one or CM Storm 6-switch one... but the thing is that all these only have 1 switch only... i don't mind getting it if the cost is cheap (If sell at retail directly converted USD > MYR) but once u factor in the shipping, becomes not worth it.. can u quote me a price for both the pcb and the tester kit? have to take into account pricing..

300? more like 350.. haha... but yeah.. is more to marketing/informing your customers already.... if u tell guy on the street to buy rm300 kb when got rm30 alternative, ppl think u crazy ask you go die.. but for those ppl who really into gaming/ use their keyboards, you tell them about the feel, let them try, and try take away that "gaming" tag, then they realise got alternative to those mushy rubber domes (no hate on Topre), and that there is such a thing as a premium keyboard.. cos i'm quite sure once u educate people about what's possible, those that are willing to spend don't mind spending more to get something of a higher quality... but not until custom kb territory la, obviously.. that one is enthusiast grade already... haha

sorry if this is spamming but....

That's so true... like i said, it all comes down to education.. especially in small town like kuching, eat any simple roadside burger, they can say it's the BEST BURGER IN THE WORLD, but they never try burgers made in australia with 100% fresh aussie beef, or saying pizza hut pizza SUPER DUPER AWESOME when they never tried traditional handmade italian pizza in Naples.. it all comes down to letting customers know what is good, and what is REALLY good.. in niche market like this, customer education is super important..

100 for tester?.. kinda steep.. and the keypad thing? yeahh.. aimed a Leopold numpad with modded switches, but the guys asking for 50USD excluding shipping so.... no wayy.. thats why now looking at building my own tester keyboard....

yeah.. i know.. that's where i bought my first and current kb, Rosewill 9000... it's a good thing, having demo units like these.. good for the market, good for the mkb scene, good for customers and (hopefully) good for business.... but since now i dont have brick and mortar shop, just aiming to buy 2 or 3 more kb with browns and red/Black since red and black ALMOST similiar in feel... and when i have it, go around advertising appointments to test keyboards.. =]
