guys what is the cheapest mech num pad around ?
i saw taobao do have leopold and ghpad(not much seller) any other budget friendly one ?
*
I think is Keycool 22 or Leopold 21.
Filco 22 is the medium.

For premium price, it's Topre Realforce 23.
For GHPad (custom key), it's about RM 499 include those lubing, stickers etc unless you DIY self-assembly.

Anyone using CM Storm rapid i as well?

Apparently there are actually 6 lighting modes instead of the 5 mentioned in all catalogues/advertisements.

Thee 6th one lights up all keys in all 4 directions of the keys you pressed. Thinking of it as the movement of a castle in a game of chess. Pretyy cool actually!!

And I don't know why I could assign some keys using just the F1 to F4 buttons (blinking lights) without even touching the dedicated M1 to M4 buttons... hmm.gif
*
Ya, stocked Rapid-i got 6 lighting mode.
It can have more lighting modes as you can configure by re-program the firmware.

Ohhh before the snake game started, I noticed that my F1 was blinking, it could just be that. Quite strange as I'm only using the official firmware update from the CM website smile.gif
Pretty good actually. Love the brown switches smile.gif

Only thing I dislike is the right angled usb cable but it's only a small issue biggrin.gif
*
You can easily replace the microUSB cable with other sleeved cable or other options as well.
Even the master race CM Storm Novatouch using the same kind of angled (towards the right) cable.

hey guys what you guys think of MSI Gaming Keyboard series with cherry MX switches?
http://www.msi.com/product/mm/#category_1152

Key Feature
- Cherry MX Brown Switch
- Red Backlight
- Windows Key Lock
- N-Key Rollover
- Multimedia Hotkeys
- Anti-slip Rubber Feet
- Ergonomic Design
- Braided Wire & Gold-plated Connector

It's very lightweight 620g only.
However, it's sohigh because claimed that a full-size is ergonomics.

QUOTE
Built on the popular Cherry MX brown linear switches, the MSI GK-701 provides superb feedback and sensitive key responsiveness.

Hey guys, can I ask, where got sell CM storm Quickfire rapid or Quickfire rapid-i ? and whats the price?
Online/physical store also can.
*
You can check in garage sales.
Retails price is at RM 399, so, you can expect ceiling price is RM 399.
You can find lower than that in other physical and garage store in forum.

FYI, CM Storm QFR or QFR Stealth is already End-Of-Life.
Now, current series is QFR-i.

need suggestion please. i want mechanical keyboard that have palm rest.
30 % gaming 70% for typing code (programmer).
*
Palm rest buy separately.
Good keyboard don't come with palm rest.
i.e HHKB, Filco, Topre, Ducky, CM, etc.

For coding purpose + a little of gaming.
Tactile switches are recommended, like Cherry MX Brown, MX Clear, Topre.

So, recommendation for keyboard are Filco Majestouch 2 TKL MX Brown, Vortex Poker 2 MX Brown, HHKB Professional 2, Topre Realforce TKL.

QUOTE(whatsayyou @ Jan 21 2015, 12:01 PM)
if equal mixture of fps, dota and typing, what switch would be preferable?
I always had browns in mind, but just testing the feel of the switches at the shop for 10mins doesnt give me enough info to make a decision.
*
Brown normally don't give hhnnnnggghhh when 1st time try..
Last time I also feel the same..

If you type a lot, then will be mx brown or blue as the tactile feedback is important for typist.
If you game a lot, the preferable Mx red or black. Red is prefer if u game long hours.
Black is a bit heavy, so, ur fingers easily reached fatigue.

If 1:1 of game ratio to typing, then mx brown.

You can go try again and see which switch you like then just buy the 1 you liked. smile.gif

modern day cherry mechanical keyboard
http://techgage.com/article/cherry-on-top-...ional-keyboard/
this is not just the switch, but the actual keyboard itself made by Cherry corp.

I own a vintage Cherry keyboard, but the one in the link is CHERRY’s MX-Board 3.0 Professional Keyboard. Click the link to read the review.
PS: the old cherry keyboards were not only good because of their switches, but also because of their higher contrast and durable doubleshot and even some dye sublimated keycaps. But over time they cheapened their products and switched to cheaper types of keycaps. So do keep an eye out for that when reading the review  laugh.gif but thats not to say they aren't falling in line with what other mkb brands are offering, but it does give you a history of what their products once were like, and whether they've gone back to their old roots or just followed the todays mkb brand status quo.
*
Cherry really try to deliver a good mkb..
But for the 3.0 series, I really don't like the "Caps Lock" key position.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

You will notice that we can't fit any common Caps Lock key onto the position. sad.gif

However in 6.0 series (new Cherry), really breakthrough because Cherry using new tech (MX tech and RK tech) and bring back the conventional Caps Lock key position.
