It coz of the bling bling effect. I haven't been following up the MKB releases for non-gaming keyboards.

Ducky Shine 3 or Deck may suits your taste for backlit with bling2 effects and come with media keys.
Both brands come with full layout and do not have macro keys.
If you don't like clicky, then only MX brown will be recommended as linear switches (red, black) not preferable for typing use.

The deck hassium pro looks good. gotta get use the their font though.
Is the hassium pro compatible with Macs as I'll be using the keyboard with my mbp

Just don't worry about those font. Most of the mkb users here changed after-market keycaps.
More selections, more bling2 choices. Some keycaps set even more expensive than the manufactured keyboard.

Yup, Deck is compatible with Mac.
Since, original Deck is for Windows, the bottom mod from left to right is Ctrl, Win, Alt, Spacebar and so on.
If you connect to mac, then will become, Ctrl, Command, Option, Spacebar and so on...
Win = Command
Alt = Option/Alt

You can remap the position back to your preferences using software Karabiner (previous name is "keyremap4macbook" ) to...
Ctrl, Option, Command, Spacebar and so on...

Most of functions are working perfectly.
Just those keys like numlock, scroll lock are not functioning. These 2 keys are unavailable in Mac.
For tenkey on right hand side, Mac do not need Numlock to use the numerical numbers keys.

The HHKB is really good. It's my daily driver now and I sold all of my other MX board except the Code Clear. I think you should REALLY consider HHKB.

Hi Belfong,

Why you choose HHKB over RF 55g for daily driver?
Any good points of HHKB win over RF 55g?

Simple answer. My RF is a TKL. It's too big to bring to the office to connect to the MacBook that I am using. The keyboard would be BIGGER than the MacBook Air - kinda embarrassing la. So I use the RF in the home PC for gaming and surfing. If I can mod/know how to mod the HHKB to 55g, that would be the best for me!

I see.
For modding guide of 55g on HHKB, you can refer to ainuddin post >> CLICK HERE <<

It's been sometime since my I purchased my old mech keyboard, now I'd like to get another.

Anyone know where can I get a CM Storm Quickfire Stealth TKL(Red/Brown switches) in KL or delivery, and any idea whats the price? Been pretty out of touch with prices in a long time.

Also, any alternatives to a TKL(red/brown) switch keyboard?

Oh yeah, I don't need backlights.
*
There is another great alternative for non-backlit TKL keyboard.
Filco Majestouch 2 TKL - MX Brown. Price ~RM369.

This is what I have at home. Of course the skulls are now at the HHKB you see in my post above. Photo is taken a month ago.

I think I want to put the Angry Summer Brobot in F2-F4, Angry Summer UMAD in F6-F8 and then the yellow, orange and red skulls in F10-F12. That's what I will do tonight, if no interruption from social activities smile.gif

Few questions to answer before you make the decision...
- Do you like the layout of HHKB ?
- Do you think HHKB lacks of certain keys ?
- Why you need HHKB ?

Have to be Topre, right? Their HHKB Type-S is probably the most expensive non custom from a major manufacturer.

QUOTE(dadudeneverabides @ Aug 27 2014, 04:06 PM)
KMAC considered custom la...

I think is HHKB
*
Those Kinesis Advantage Pro (MX Brown) [usd 359] expensive than HHKB.
I think maybe still got a lot manufactured keyboard more expensive than Kinesis. wub.gif

Nah, i never mentioned i wanted the novatouch.

Its tkl anyway. Dont like big boards. Love minimalist /60% / 68 key boards with the least number of keys, nice layouts and butter smooth pressing.
