QUOTE(belfong @ Dec 16 2014, 10:31 AM) So I managed to sell my ThinkPad USB keyboard with TrackPoint and TouchPad for us$80 and use the money to buy my first Korean custom, 2TU with MX Blue for us$110. Is 2TU consider Korean custom? Very excited for it! so you're the one that bought it eh ?   the turn off was the space bar placement.  I think it is considered a korean custom. just not really mass produced i think (?) |

yeah, it wasn't terribly expensive and the timing was right as I just sold off the keyboard and have that fund in the Pay Pal. And after being in mech scene, I have never had a Korean custom and really want to see what the big deal was all about and the price is also pretty good. So, I just jumped on it. Didn't notice the space bar placement. What's wrong with it?

QUOTE(ntw @ Dec 16 2014, 11:57 AM) it aint even mechanical and u can sell it off for $80?!! teach me masta Well, I always have a heart for Blues - because it used to be my favorite switch before Topre; wouldn't mind hearing some clickiness when typing once a while. After all the thocking, one needs some clicking. It's probably a weekend getaway keyboard, not going to be a daily driver as will be too noisy to use at work. Beside, like I said, I wanna see what is so great about Korean custom, probably I will be enthralled by the lightings but going back to Cherry MX is it considered a downgrade for u? since you have been using the endgame topre switches for quite some time now...  And I do have a beautiful GMK Dolch keycap for this 2TU; this will be super nice. This post has been edited by belfong: Dec 16 2014, 12:42 PM |

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Dec 16 2014, 04:25 AM) Sorry, didn't really know how it works...I mean the link you sent about the LED caps? Ducky shine 3 TKL need to pre order so price need to talk to cyntrix tech about it So at the bottom of each cap, there's an LED? If so, then how to connect all the electric circuit when I get the key caps. I always thought the LED lights are provided by the keyboard base, not the key caps. Edit: I think I know how it works already, it's basically putting a coloured piece of plastic just above or next to the white backlight: http://www.banggood.com/DayDream-LED-Cover...t-p-925837.html I can't read Chinese, so is that 4.50 Yuan for 1 key cap? So changing the entire keyboard layout will cost a bomb?  Can't find any info about the Ducky Shine TKL? I hope it's below RM400 as that's my budget  Thanks for bearing with me ducky is good because its build quality is pretty solid and leds failure rate not that high compare to corsair as for the led cover is 4.5 RMB so its acutally around rm2.6 for every 10 and as or colours yellow orange pink red green blue purple and white so shipping from agent is usually rm 12 and 1% for agent fee so you can look for a agent to order for you http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r...728&abbucket=11 and yes white leds is the safest route to go because you can change by using the leds cover |

Anyone have a cherry mx blues with 45g or 55g korean spring in it? Does the switch get stuck because the spring can't push the switch back up after actuation?

ha ha .. actually I am thinking of first putting in my crappy Code ABS key set because I can see the beautiful blue light through those keys first. After all, what is a Korean keyboard without shiny LED lights. Then I will put the Dolch for the feel. Definitely will post photos

LED lights is like the cigarette after a one night stand. or, dessert after a good meal. not a must have, but it would be nice to have.This post has been edited by zennasyndroxx: Dec 17 2014, 12:30 PM |
