GMK Dolch.. How much total Dolch keycaps with the keyboard?

The Filco Mechanical Keyboard itself is RM369. I'm not sure about the keycaps as I'm looking for them myself. sweat.gif

Keycaps more expensive than your keyboard. laugh.gif

LOL!

Yeah... original Dolch costs more than your brand spanking new keyboard.

Just use the ori keycaps until you are bored first, then ony switch.
*
Holy-f. It's that freaking expensive? That being said, is there a clone version of the Dolch keycaps then?
I love the colour scheme, won't mind trading a bit of quality off for a cheaper price.

You may look for Taihao Dolch. It's very cheap, has similar color scheme too.
*
Cannot afford. Haha. Stock keycaps are good enough for me actually. Except I want the colours to look like Dolch's. icon_idea.gif

Lol. It's like saying I'd rather not spend money on a RM500 amp for a RM1.5k headset. The amp is important to the sound. The keycaps here is important to the overall feel of the keyboard. If you're buying just for looks then up to you.
*
Agreed. I'm all for buying original - but in my case the amp would cost more than the headphones. wink.gif


QUOTE(slimfox @ May 16 2014, 07:02 PM)
I like the way you think. Ya sometimes have to know when to spend and on what. Like me when I was spending on rm1k+ branded jeans. End of the day my rm200+ jeans last as long as those expansive ones. Also serves the same function.

On KBD I guess its what you want out of it. For me, I game and don't really type much except on this forum therefor I got a Razer (Hope don't kena tembak for mentioning the "R" word  tongue.gif ), if looks is important then why not cheaper alternatives (got lots of guys walking around with fake watches in KL  tongue.gif ) but if you want the whole package (brand, feel, quality, etc) ya pay for it. Each for his own, I always say.

On Sentinal92's point I only have to say that when it comes to sound, don't be kedukut cause what you pay is what you hear (may not look great but the sound can give you orgasms).

The only thing I have to say is don't get fakes (not from the brand but labeled as such), get from a company/brand that makes compatible products. Supporting pirates will only stop innovation of newer better products.
*
Point noted. Would love a cheaper alternative with decent quality if any exists at all. Besides, I (in my humble opinion) don't think that the difference in quality between the replica keycaps and the original ones justifies the 5-6x times difference in price.

By the way, did anyone else's typing speed drop a little when they first picked up a mech keyboard? I used to be able to type 85-95 wpm. But now I can only type 70-80wpm. I guess mech keyboards need some time to get used to huh?

Other than heavyarm, who else is selling mech keyboards in LYN or a local shop? I haven't look each pages of this thread yet so maybe someone already asked this question.

Try MVP Concept Store?

Guys, what's a good 60% keyboard that has arrow keys and preferably no backlight (and reasonably priced). I'm looking at the Vortex Pure Pro atm, but it seems like this model has LED backlight.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Leopold seems decent. Can't find it in Mice & Keyboard Garage Sales though. cry.gif
Still eyeing the Pure Pro as it has 1x1 arrow keys. What's a good place to get them for a fairly low shipping price? Thanks again!

Sweet. How can you live without the arrow keys though I wonder? I code websites for a living and the arrow keys are an essential part of my workflow.

GMK Dolch started. Let's help to reach the MOQ's!
*
Is the font on the GMK Dolch finalized? Would've considered getting this one if it actually uses the same font as the one from Round 3/4.

60% do have arrow keys but you need trigger it with FN (default layout) or other keymap method like below post (link provided).
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry67482868

If you have any idea, please let me know.

Haha, I need the arrow keys to be quick and physically accessible. Fn or mouse wheel will slow it down a whole lot IMO. But sweet tips there, thanks!

QUOTE(Sentinel92 @ May 24 2014, 12:11 AM)
Haaha I don't code bro. I just type alot at my part time work and personal use. smile.gif

Yeah it's finalized.  sweat.gif  so not getting GMK dolch?  brows.gif

Might get the GMK one if the DSA Dolch is not to my liking. icon_idea.gif

wow, u damn ONG la, still manage to grab a set even after 2 weeks the sale started.  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif
anyhow, i'll need to change the color of my case. black not really matching for the dolch color scheme. any suggestion? im thinking either white or silver... hmm.gif
*
Oh, I emailed Signature Plastics and they told me they're gonna put 30 extra sets on sale last Weds. So yeah, I quickly snatched one while it's still available.
I think white or gray looks pretty good with the Dolch set.


QUOTE(quovadis123 @ May 24 2014, 07:06 PM)
I'm curious to know normally how you use the arrow keys in coding websites?
Give some examples, so every coders able to gain benefits from it.
Thanks in advanced.

QUOTE(zennasyndroxx @ May 24 2014, 07:20 PM)
sometimes made mistakes in syntaxes right after typing a few more lines, easier to go back to the line where mistakes are made with the arrow up key compared to using mouse.

at least that my experience in it .
*
@quodavis123 Mainly what @zennasyndroxx said. Or multi-line selection while holding Alt + Down arrow in Sublime Text. Basically I need it for navigation. Hehe.
