Wah... So expensive..
μTRON (Topre) USD 515.
Currently you pointed out the most expensive among us.

Still anyone knows lagi expensive d manufactured keyboard (not custom, not limited edition) ?

Around that price or less than that if you have cash rebate from your credit card.

What keycaps expensive than kibod that you mentioned now?

You get which color? white or black?

Me using White with blank keycaps. I think you saw before in this forum.
Welcome to the master race.

But you got a legendary switch 55g keyboard whereas amazon jp don't have this keyboard.
HHKB using 45g Topre only.

Do you like your current keyboard? Nice to type on?

I remember there is 1 forummer using DAS 4.
So, you interested in full layout keyboard?

Let's just analyse it in logic way.

DAS 4 pro:
- high quality
- standard layout (easier for aftermarket keycaps replacement)
- cool for you

cons:
- expensive shipping to M'sia (Price Factor)
- ugly oversize volume knob (REDUNDANT things ever on keyboard), we want to get keyboard not volume controller.
- Full-size layout (non-ergonomics, DAS do not offer TKL/60% layout series for typists)

Conclusion, the oversize knob and price (including shipping) and FULL-SIZE layout really big turn offs.
Whereby, I can get a Filco TKL (Japanese brand) with top 1 quality in manufactured keyboard with reasonable price (~RM369).

Those high rated things <-- please don't believe, ppl also high rate Razer here thanks to those reviews.
In this forum, you will start listen to a lot of brands you don't even know they exist in the first place.
Like Realforce, PFU, Filco, Keycool, Plum, CM, etc.

Most of the laymen only knows Razer, SteelSeries, DAS, Corsair etc when they know mechanical keyboards.

When I was a layman, I know DAS, because I saw some video on youtube.
It's extremely rare in M'sia, but not rare in internet.


Most ppl don't even know those uncommon switches like clear, grey, white, green, existed.
They only know red, black, brown, blue.
I think if you like heavy switch, then you can go for clear (tactile), green (clicky+tactile)..

Btw, why you want to get a mechanical keyboard?
But originally, your first choice asking about DAS, I guess you are a professional or under/post grad.

Nothing much to describe now, not enough data.
Wait I type min 300Hours then I will do a full review on NovaTouch (Hybrid Capacitive Switches).

Jailhouse blue = MX Blue variants
ergo Clear, panda Clear = MX Clear variants
Custom mod stocked switches.

Some like stocked MX Clear (Kai sensei) more than ergo Clear.
Some like ergo Clear than stocked. So, really depends on pref of each people.

First impression on Nova is extremely gooding.
Ok, other things after 300hours only will tell, like why so gooding etc.

Why no turning back?

I see. I still use back membrane keyboard.
I mean those range between RM10-RM50 membrane keyboard.

Ducky is a good keyboard brand.
If you only want simple backlit, then is Ducky Shine Zero 2108S, not fancy as Ducky Shine 3.

MX Blue?

Quick Fire Rapid is already EOL and replaced by Quick Fire Stealth iinm.

Ya, can turn on and off.
