A good read on "Why you need to learn touch typing?" from daskeyboard blog

http://www.daskeyboard.com/blog/why-you-ne...n-touch-typing/

Touch typing is knowing how to type without relying on your sense of sight.
- improve typing speed
- improve accuracy, less errors
- less distraction

Thanks man for the link. Cyntrix haven't announce the price right? But they have some retro keycaps which is Rm100+.
*
I searched their website only understand what is "retro" keycaps.
Yup. They announced "retro" at RM129.
For those curious, "retro" = taihao dolch, granite, olivette.

Originally, what I expect the color scheme..

Hey Guys, I am new in this Mech club..currently using a Razer Tournament Edition with green keycaps (PBT i think, bought at heavyarm), a few zinc keycaps(EXPENSIVE AS AUHDOIASDASD) and in blue switches. Overall tenkeyless and light. Looking forward to investing around RM600 for a new keyboard..
Was thinking of the Vortex poker 2,  or a Ducky Mini in blue switches. Want to ask, where can I get more zinc keycaps? I am looking to make my keyboard in full zinc.

Ill upload a picture tonight smile.gif

If you are looking for TKL with bling2 LED, CM Storm QuickFire Rapid-i is suitable for you. Price tag ~RM399.

Just in case you suddenly want a non-LED keyboard...
Filco TKL is the best choice. There are 2 forummers want to sell their Filco TKL MX Blue (Filco White and Filco Black color).
You can check in out in their thread in garage sales.

Poker 2 is good choice too, from your preferences.

http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/

there is an option at the top for the swatches for GMK and SP.
*
The GMK colors in the colors.json is not updated to all GMK colors.
That's why we need the color codes to update.

I attached image of GMK parts in colors.json of current color codes of GMK keycaps in the keyboard-layout-editor.

Hey guys need some help,
trying to get a new mech kb for someone but I can't seem to find it for him.
He wants any brand as long as it comes with coloured keycaps.

I know not many brands sell it like that but some items are being sold on taobao like that. Problem is - I don't understand any form of Chinese and I cant view pictures for some keyboards. (Google translate fails me)
Maybe im typing in something wrong in the search bar.

Cheers guys!
(He doesn't want that ducky model that does come with keycaps)
*
Get a decent mechanical keyboard locally, and buy colored keycaps from taobao.
Then replace the stock keycaps with colored keycaps.

How much is your friend's budget?

Ok. I'm done buying keycaps. no more. lol.

some of the keycaps warped during the course of shipping ?
i.e. E,C,R,F,J
Totally looks different from others, because I saw gap between these keys.
