Unless it is new or slightly used, do not buy it.
ALPS don't age well, the thing will feel like crap with a ton of dust inside.

May I know why you keep suggesting this keyboard?  smile.gif
Seems like you highly recommend this.

Anyway, I contacted cyntrix and they say they can preorder the ducky zero for me.

Saw one shop in pyramid selling ducky zero for 379 while the price in garage sales is only 299. When I asked whether can they give me a better price, they say 370. sweat.gif
Straight say ok tq and left the shop.

Will place my deposit for a non-tkl one since the difference is only rm20 between a tkl and non-tkl verison.

Lastly, need some confirmation. i can't go wrong with a ducky keyboard right?
I plan to find a solid and simple keyboard ( no led and initially planned to get a tkl one, but will go for full size instead. ), would also appreciate it if it didn't make too much noise ( hence i chose the mx red switches ) .
*
While it is the quieter amongst mechanical keyboards, you'll be in for some noise upgrade as reds are quite noisy as well.

filco is the best quality keyboard on earth?

Far from it.
But it is very well built.

Yes, i understand that mkb will have some noise no matter what. I can cope with the sound ( not really considered as noise. tongue.gif ) from red switches but i definitely can't cope with blue or green.  sweat.gif

Anyway, what's your opinion on ducky zero as my first plunge into mkb territory? smile.gif
*
Better ask other people tongue.gif
I have not been using Duckies for a long time.

Reds are fine. If you want a lower noise by sacrificing slightly the key feel, I'd recommend getting O-rings. Helps with the noise a lot.
But then again, people around you are really sensitive to noise, you'd need more than O-rings to solve the problem. Just get a Topre Silent for instance, but that's too much of an investment for most people.

Actually GON's price for MX Clears is reasonable. I had to fork out 0.65 Euros per switch last year when I got it from 7Bit  sweat.gif
But yeah. Never shopped from taobao before.
I know a lot of people over at GH source like a compaq keyboard with Cherry MX clears inside on eBay. If you're in US, eBay usually has pretty sweet deals on stuffs like this.
Europe on the other hand, not so much  sweat.gif
*
This site in TW used to be selling Clears for NT$10 (RM1~ish) each. I miss the good old days.

Too tall keycaps. some people not used to it.
Plus korean boards have this ridiculously high back, that means your finger have to arch more.

I see. I think only apply for those ppl that rest their palm, which make SA not comfortable to type on.

My habits when typing, are hanging my hands in the air.  sweat.gif
That's why I will ask such questions why not practical, because high profile, OEM, Cherry same for me.  sad.gif
*
Try lifting the back feet of your keyboard and type with hands hanging.
That is how the Duck Viper is designed, with both back kick stand permanently in place rclxub.gif
Took me one week to get used to it

I guess SA also the same. The profile that I can't get used to, at all, is the DCS.

The incompetent cherry corp is allowing aternative switch manufacturers to rise. Cherry is expensive and have super long lead time. It gives plenty of space or these chinese manufacturers to rise.

With more design iterations and customer feedback, cherry corp will the selection of the masterrace keyboard users only soon. I would think that in 5 years, these china clones gonna be as good as cherry mx.

Thats what i think too. Being the monopoly in the industry for too long makes them incompetent now that new competition has rises.

They are far from a monopoly. You had alps, ibm etc competing with cherry. It seems that cherry is the one still holding it out with mechanical key switches, together with topre. The rest mostly abandoned the business.

And few years back, the mechanial keys was somehow revived and cherry received a bunch of business. I would take a guess and think that this is not cherry's doing, in reviving the mechanical keyboard business on the consumer end anyway. They stuck with their old way of doing things and here we are now with a bunch of chinese clones.

White filco is not really white, it looks like color of white rice.
Plus the cable will go slightly yellow, need to mod after a while, unless you can stand yellow color.

It like 3 year already, definitely out of warranty. I am looking to fix this myself
I don't expect any backlit LED to perform forever, from any brands
If its PCB issue, is it any way around it? Powering the LED via switch or externally?

All the keys are dimmed, which made me believe that it is some sort of power issue
When I pull the USB out, I can see in a brief moment that it will light at it brightest
Well warranty is out of question.
I have a solder, just need the timah to solder it

If LED is the case, then replacing it should solve it
What puzzles me is all the LED dimmed
I was hoping to create a external switch, so that I can turn it on and off manually
I need the circuit diagram to know this specifically
Gombak. Never opened it since I bought it 3 years ago. I don't mind opening this myself to fix it though
*
Single LED dim or all the LED dim across the whole array?
If single LED, then replacement should be no problem. If whole thing dim, then dipshit liao.

Can anyone please educate me on the clone switches, or send me a link?

Kaihua (kailh?), gaote etc.

Curious to try out the Kaihua browns after reviews mentioning that it is a more tactile MX brown, but less tactile than MX clears. Which is to me, the best tactile feeling.
