Those keycaps are expensive than normal manufactured mechanical keyboard.

More likely a lightsaver-ish design with maximum flexibility for the PCB.

Case would be based on what users actually want.

Interesting.
Do you come out with a name for this new custom?

I'm planning to buy a keyboard mainly for typing purpose.

I type a lot but I don't game. I used to play with the IBM keyboard when I was young and missed that feeling.

So, I planned to buy from Unicomp, but the shipping is almost as expensive as the keyboard itself. Anyone has any idea where else I can get the keyboard, or just to minimize the shipping.

Or else, any other keyboard that can give off the same feeling? I'm not sure if switches and spring will give off the same feel.

Buckling is not like those membrane dome, feel like Topre switches. rclxms.gif
There is no MX Cherry switch that is going to give you a buckling spring feel.
Got few choices. If you miss feeling of IBM, just choose back the IBM version.
IBM SSK

Hehe, my Poker 2 with brown switches is here. (thanks to 0168257061)

Typing experience is pretty awesome so far. I dare say that I like it better than my Filco with blue switches. The browns are sooo quiet in comparison to blues. I applied 2 o-rings on the keycaps and it's so quiet that I don't think I'll annoy anyone typing on this. Will post a photo and video in the coming days to show how quiet it is after the mod.

Also, thinking of selling my Filco since my gf doesn't really want to use it. Haha.

Reason why gf don't want use your filco? laugh.gif
Filco too fugly?

I'm not sure if I'm selling it yet. It's pretty new you know (1 month+) so I'm probably gonna sell it at RM320+ (if I decide to sell it).
Lol! Filco is... neither fugly nor good looking in my opinion. She just doesn't type much at home to be honest. And blue switches are a nightmare to be used at the office.
Hah, thanks! I'm already rocking a set of DSA keycaps. Pretty orgasmic already if I may say so myself.
...and stop poisoning, man. I just got my *new* new keyboard for a day. Don't want to switch to another keyboard so soon. cry.gif

Maybe you should keep the Filco TKL for future use.
So, you biasa with the nav cursor keys of poker 2 already? Heard last time, you need cursor keys when navigate thru sublime text when writing in sublime text.

Yes! Even a simple task like highlighting a line of text (Command+ Shift+FN+arrow) is more of a trouble now. To make matters worse the arrow keys are on the left now. My fingers are all over the place now. Haha. But typing feels really awesome like you said. Really pleased that I ordered the keyboard. No regrets. biggrin.gif

Do you always use highlight/selection of line using command+shift+FN+arrow ?

Yes, all the time. To select a whole line of text to copy. Or word by word with Shift+Alt+FN+arrow.

See below xml code for remapping for keyremap4macbook.
These code remapped FN+Command+Shift+WASD --> Left Control + WASD.
For easy line highlight/selection use.
I believed you seldom use your control, so, I remap it to control key.

CODE
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::A, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L, KeyCode::CURSOR_LEFT, ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L | ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L</autogen>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::S, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L, KeyCode::CURSOR_DOWN, ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L | ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L</autogen>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::D, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L, KeyCode::CURSOR_RIGHT, ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L | ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L</autogen>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::W, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L, KeyCode::CURSOR_UP, ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L | ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L</autogen>

Hmm, my team recently moved to a new office spot and thus 'new' machines + keyboards. Got stuck with this crappy keyboard (can't really change since most spare keyboards they have are French layout) where it annoys me to the point that I am considering of bringing my Ducky (brown) to work...

Any recommendation for an easy to carry around mech-keyboard for work?

Guys I think I finally contributed to mkb thread by persuading 2 of my friends to buy mkb !! rclxms.gif

But no matter how I explain and say, they still want those krappi dong dong Corsair K70 or Razer Deathstalker/Blackwidow doh.gif doh.gif

I told them Filco TKL made one of the best keyboards in the world.

Their build quality is superb and you can modify it to your personal preference.

Hi Legend,
Just let your friends alone, let them get Corsair K70 and Razer Blackwidow.
For you, you can get the new Ducky Legend to match your Legend status.
