If you are typing/gaming in an environment where you are constantly being run over by a tank, I would seriously consider re-evaluating my priorities in life, vis-a-vis, not working/playing games in a warzone.

In the meantime, if you still insist on buying the product that you so believe in even after we advise you otherwise, please, go ahead and do so because it's your money and not mine and I'm not your mother so I will never tell you what to buy.

On the other hand, I will laugh at your wasted money.

tl-dr; Ducky Shine 3

Best thing to have on this here KB is the 1800-layout. Damn if anyone tells you differently I will respectfully tell them to shut it.

Endgame right here, boys.

5 years you say?

"know yourself; know your enemy. 100 battles; 100 victories" - some Chinese general dude.

So the points of failure for an MKB would be:
1. USB connection
2. LEDs
3. Keycaps
4. PCB
5. Switches

Wait, wha-?

So, you'd want a keyboard with a solid USB connection, no LEDs, PBT doubleshot keycaps (or Dyesub), reputable dual-layer PCB, and original Cherry switches.

All signs point to the Ducky Premier.

But hear me out. Smack the kids in your house and ask them to stop running around like idiots and breaking stuff. My nephew knows enough that any area around my workspace and my computer are NO GO ZONES unless specifically invited otherwise. That's why he has the run of the house when he visits and I don't have to supervise him all the time because he knows that certain areas must never be approached without my EXPRESS approval.

So, my solution is this: smack the kids and tell them to stop playing around your expensive toys (heck, that's why my nephew isn't allowed to play with my quadrocopter, no matter how cool it is) and buy a Ducky.

tl-dr: ducky.

Don't understand the hate on Cherry stabs. It's not better or worse without mods, but MUCH better than costar once modded. Nonetheless, there are case mods for Filco also, and most Duckies will offer the cable routing.

In the end, IIRC Filco is the only co-star stab that I will recommend personally.

Dream on boyo. Vintage Blacks made using different plastics. Can't get it anymore.

Orly?

I never did extensive research into Vintage blacks, although I love vintage blues as the base for JHBs because they are just so... nice...

But from what I recall reading on GH, Vintage blacks use different plastics for the stem or something, which is why they are smooth.

In the end though, best switch is the one you like using.

I have a very very nice Raindrop set with Tsangan kit and numpad. PM me if you are rich.

+1. Maybe still can salvage.

Lai PM me

Nope.

Buy hammer case.

Throw at me. I'm looking to test a 60+ layout, but I need a 60% layout first to get used to is.

Sure. Lemme know if OK or not la. I just want a test bed with 60 switches.

RM350. Give me your board, pay me and I will give you one with LEDs.

Add summore about... RM700 I will give sans keycap.

Yup. But it's not 100% ready since I got the wrong plate... so I waiting for the new plate and PCB (since I botched that too)

Nah, I was horny and soldered it onto the old plate already, so the layout is wrong. Waiting for the new PCB to arrive and then I'll turn this thing around.

Sup betches. Back from HK. What's new here?

Yeah, I have one for sales.
