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! it aint even mechanical and u can sell it off for $80?!! teach me masta 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... |

QUOTE(belfong @ Dec 29 2014, 03:29 PM) i guess its quite hard to figure that out right? once u put it on your keyboard they look all the same to me, unless can mount it upside down to show the bottom of the keycap. maybe personally will feel prouder by supporting the original cc/bb maker instead of replicas, just like buying GMK Dolch vs Taihao Dolch |

QUOTE(belfong @ Dec 29 2014, 05:30 PM) yeah, he's doing it on purpose to spite the maker of CC and BB. He went to geekhack and openly taunt them despite people asking him to go away. You are right, he has the means and tools to make caps, why copy? so u saying i using taihao dolch no up enough? Sure, sure. Some people are ok with fake stuff. Like carrying fake handbags or wearing fake Nike/branded clothes. Bags are bags, right? Shirts are shirts, right? But somehow, to me, I rather wear non-branded stuff than wear branded stuff and pretend to be in the same cool gang. |

QUOTE(altan @ Dec 30 2014, 12:40 PM) Anyone seeking for 3D printing service? hey man, have u upgraded your nozzle head? Made keycaps for ntw (thanks for the summon), they don't cost much, maybe about RM 5 a cap but I would suggest large quantity, say RM 40 above for free postage. I would recommend this new rubberize material for key caps rather than the hard plastic material, not so painful when pressing on keys. I can also offer customization to key caps like 3D embossing but you might have to provide me with a sketch or picture. I even have semi transparent plastics, so you can have nice mood lighting for your keyboards |

QUOTE(PowerGadget @ Jan 25 2015, 11:32 AM) Yea.. Not plan to buy another keycap so soon.. Pbt full set keycap usually would cost up how much? I bought a Keycool PBT set along with my very first mkb because I know it is worth it. I got them from China taobao, the Keycool costs me close to rm100 that time.. and now with the weak MYR the price is gonna be higher than that What do you think of blue switch? The sound really so annoying? Sorry it is my first mechanical keyboard. I graduated from using blue switch. Blues are definitely not suitable for a quiet office environment (been there done that |

QUOTE(DarkSilver @ Feb 11 2015, 06:42 PM) Kailh Switches, that's a known problem I guess. different actuation point on DS4 and MJ2? have u tried typing on both of them using the same keyset? i can only guess the difference in stock keycap heigh/construction might be causing this. but then again, different overall build quality might affect the typing feel though.My previous Razer Blackwidow Ultimate Chroma is using Razer Switches(Made by Kailh), and, I have several keys double-tapping(double output) problem too. The difference of feeling for Kailh and Cherry MX is minimal. I don't feel there's a huge gap of difference between them. But, quality, you're talking about Germany vs China. LOL. Other than this, I also found out the feeling and actuation point of my Ducky Shine 4 and Filco Majestouch 2 TKL is different. Both of them are using Cherry MX Blue Switches. "with mechanical keyboard, it's all about feel" |

QUOTE(cstkl1 @ Feb 14 2015, 09:45 AM) But from what i can see its ironic cause... its totally wrong to make comparison this way bro. an enthusiast is enthusiastic in his/her own area of interest. Their case is not full alu. Psu not platinum. Cooling if its air not nickel plated. Most important hardware on their computer experience gets neglected. Not all of them but generally. But notice alot of mkb ppl are audiophiles. Hmm decided to use the razer rgb chroma for main rig n k70 rgb for second. Ducky shine 4 give bro inlaw as cny present. Waiting now for the das k/b to be shipped. we spend on our keyboards because we are enthusiastic in it and we want to test out different typing feels on our keyboards with its wide assortments of differences and add-ons, ie: different build quality/ material used to make the board, different kind of switches with very very different kind of feedback, different stiffness of the springs used, keycaps in different profiles/height/printing/material/thickness, different add-ons like the stickers, LEDs, o-rings, novelties. there's a lot of knowledge to be learnt and trial & errors before you will arrive at the particular set(s) of combination of above mentioned that will be your ultimatum. all in all, playing with mechanical keyboard is as much as pimping out your rig. it is a hobby on its own. it does complement the computer experience. but typing on the keyboard that we loved with a tablet alone is good enough for the mechanical keyboard enthusiasts, it doesn't necessarily need to be a powerful rig to play games/render because all we like to do is type(our computer experience doesn't get neglected); likewise coming from your perspective of a computer enthusiast, using a super powerful computer that can run graphics that bleeds your eyes out, responds to you even before you move your finger, using full copper water cooling with top brands (alphacool/hws/heatkiller/etc) will be your ultimatum, you don't necessarily need to even use a mechanical keyboard to feel good playing on your rig. ALSO, availability of moolah is a very important factor. by the way, kudos to you for the entrance into the mechanical keyboard scene. getting a few mechanical keyboards at the same time just to find the one that you like best is something that most of us can dream of but not capable to do it. |

QUOTE(DarkSilver @ Feb 14 2015, 10:27 PM) But, on your Signature, I read you're having many MKBs in your current possession. This is a sign of WEALTHINESS. a second hand ducky shine 2, a free wang terminal, a custom acrylic ghpad and bmini. i assure you each of these pieces are acquired at reasonable price, none of them are more expensive than a razer bwu chroma. but if you say this is a sign of wealthiness, i can only rebut that i spend my money on what i like. I personally, bought and used 4 MKBs since July of 2014 but, I sold 2 of them off. Now, thinking to sell off my Ducky Shine 4 too... Not sure yet. Maybe not, maybe yes. QUOTE(DarkSilver @ Feb 14 2015, 10:56 PM) do u mean they are worth the price if they are using cherry mx switches?and if the price are cheaper then its worth it when they are using kailh switches? so you are saying it is expensive AND not worth the price because they are using kailh switch. |

QUOTE(dadudeneverabides @ Feb 15 2015, 02:54 AM) I see a faker in this thread. why so serious. razer, corsair, cm, heck even armageddon and tesoro also selling mechanical keyboard, just that they are using cloned switch with inferior and questionable quality. and the pick on them using non-standard layout can't really comment anything la, since they are going for "gaming-optimized" layout Yeah, you buy a lot of STOCK and pre-built boards. That does not, in any way, make you an MKB enthusiast. Only once you have tasted all the possible switch types for Cherry (at least!) then can you compare with others. Topre and Alps also needed to really understand MKB switches. Next step is to try the difference between acrylic customs and SUS customs plates. Still, that is not enough because you will need to have tasted the beauty of full alu plate. In the end though, anyone who will prefer a board which: 1. Emphasis more on bling than quality. 2. Uses clone switches with inferior and questionable quality. 3. Non-ANSI (aka "standard") non-Tsangan layout, non-ISO layout. 4. Reliance on gimmicks to sell instead of creating value. Unfortunately, all this criteria for me points to any board which is made for "gamers" and not typist boards. Trisnek is only one of the many culprits, which also include corsair, and some models for CM (which actually improved into using standard layouts and pretty decent build quality). However, I need to mention this to a lot of people. Most Dota 2 pros that who aren't using sponsored boards are using Topres, Duckies and Filcos. Most SC2 pros are using custom boards. So if you are someone who ranks a bling bling board with cloned switches like Razer Blackwidow Chroma above something like a Ducky, I suggest that you exit the "mechanical" keyboard thread and go enjoy the "gaming" keyboard thread instead, because here you will be treated as a retard, but there they will worship your "good choice" and congratulate your stupidity. So get lost, because you have nothing to contribute. welcome all mechanical keyboard users but teach them about differentiating between the good quality ones and bad ones. why the separation into bling2/gaming vs typist keyboard? both are still mechanical keyboard? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(DarkSilver @ Feb 15 2015, 04:00 AM) @zennasyndroxx, PM for BEST PRICE and DETAILS. LOL. Thanks. Kailh is not the only one manufacturing replica switches. Gateron for one is making replica LINEAR switches with similar if not superior quality@yuktsi14, Kailh Switches on Custom MKB, that's rare! This post has been edited by ntw: Feb 15 2015, 02:08 PM |

QUOTE(DarkSilver @ Feb 16 2015, 12:15 AM) Yes, Topre is one kind of switch only. Deal with it. topre is tactileAnd, it's mechanism is quite different compared to Cherry MX counter parts. If not wrong, it's LINEAR like RED or BLACK but has better or smoother bounce back, and you'll need to press each key deep enough for it to register(but, it won't matter much if you're a MX Black user originally). You can say it's a REFINED version of Cherry MX Red or Black. Cherry MX switches usually categorized into Tactile and Linear. Cherry MX Blue, Brown, Grey, White/Clear, Green, etc for TACTILE. Cherry MX Black, Red, Yellow, etc for LINEAR. |
