Seems that it's a bad place to shop for something you want in Malaysia sometimes.
When u are in need of them , every dealer out there sang the same tune.
Been looking for ducky shine 3 mx brown and orange led.
None had instant stock. It's more scarce then panda dwelling in the wild.

hello guys...
Just to check with you all on a certain set of keycaps (Full keys not tkl)

Been checking for white keycaps that's white and doubleshot. letters are not fully black but more like translucent. Something like ducky shine 2. The letters will only be clear when led lights were switched on.

Been checking alot of site and most of these white keycaps comes with black letter fonts.

i'm glad that i bought ducky shine 3 instead of waiting for shine 4.
That looks like a gas stove to me.
I guess i'll be looking at ducky legend on next one.

Haha, definitely. Just expressing my 2 cents. Taste is a *very* subjective matter after all. What looks good to me might not look good to you. laugh.gif
Oh my god. Your comment is spot on. thumbup.gif

The other guy on tw ducky facebook left a more interesting comment lol.
Game and porn volume.
Actually i kinda like ducky shine 3. However.. i dont like plastic casing.
Been searching through various spots for custom metalic enclosures.
From diecast mold / liquid metal /aluminium /steel.
Looking for an anodized aluminium surface to be spray with matte black so i can replace the casing of shine3.
This would applies to top and bottom casing as well.
But the chances kinda slim. These are usually quote against moq. Single piece would be too expensive.

Anyways.. it's my first mechanical kb. Would say.. rubber dome will be out of my choice from now on.

Time to go custom.

Or follow me DiY in geekhack.

My left handed ergodox is ready. Just need to learn how to program the firmware to make it understand there is another hand.

DIY requires time ,research and $$. To make something as good as commercials product is kinda far off. With the tight time schedule i have, most of my DIY trials turns viral and dies within few weeks of useage. I stopped DIY ever since.. Not only did it squander my money, it also waste my time as well.
Unless i'm a genius like peter parker or tony stark, i'll custom my keyboard to fire torpedos like the jerichos laugh.gif

Came across something more tactile then that. Although the appearance looks mind exploding.

Anyway just a question in here. Is it possible to get the relegendable keycap cover for our cherry mx keycaps 0.0?
Seems to resolve the plastic oily issue and printing gone for abs.

doubleshot abs legend still remained even the abs become shiny.
SP do sell DCS profile relegendable keycaps http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/products...legendable-kits

However.. we dont see backlitting on letters only for pbt. I've rummage through numerous sellers in taobao. They told me that there wont be backlitting on letters for pbt especially white keycaps. They are mainly transulent shine only *which means the whole keycap could be seen glowing with light*
I manage to came across relegendable keycaps cover which seems to fit the description for abs plastics since it act as a layer of protection. This way the abs wont get oily and the letters will remain long time.
However... judging from the information from you guys.. It wont be possible.

You can use scotch tape on your abs keycaps, then your abs won't be shiny and have the original backlit.

I would rather get silicon protective pad cover. Scotch tape will leave sticky residue over time.
Although i'm unable to find any silicon protective covers for full keys 108. I only saw laptop ones.

Something similar to matt30 design, with few changes. Price for all aluminium construction is less than RM200. Still waiting for the final price.

Yep they can, just have to send it CAD design to them.
I will get it cut first and see the end result. If satisfactory, I'll post a CAD guide and simple editor file, and maybe you guys can do a gb  laugh.gif
I was expecting more too, didnt expect it to be less than RM200.

Btw this is the two company I've gotten quotation from.
SC Lasercut
Oh Tung Sang

There's little different in price. But best to ask for quotation first.

Awesome... thx for the input.
You're the man.
