How to remove the logo:
1.) Open up the case(top housing).
2.) From the inner area of the case(top housing), there's 2 small holes at the logo area.
3.) Use something small and sharp(like a needle) to push the logo out. Don't worry, it's using Double-side tape to stick to the case by default. So, if you want to stick it back to the case, just apply some double-side tapes to it.

Don't worry, you're a TuHao also.
When is your cable available?

Matias, not using traditional Cherry MX Stem, thus, you can't use Cherry MX supported keycaps which is abundance on Matias Switches. Not sure about the quality and performance.

Kailh is Cherry MX Clone, but very inferior. Though, slightly cheaper. It supports all Cherry MX keycaps.

Gateron is also Cherry MX Clone, but equal in quality or even better than Cherry MX. Also, it's cheaper(even cheaper than Kailh) and supports all Cherry MX Keycaps.

Cherry MX is the original or pioneer, I suppose?

Actually, there's a lot more other brands, such as Goate(Cherry MX Clone), Greentech(Cherry MX Clone), Topre(Electrostatic Capacity Switches), etc.
There's also a lot of clonings and stuffs... lose counts.

You ask zenny... I am totally like "sienz level over 9000" already.
Hope he can fix the problem fast... Everything is there and good except the bloody PCB doesn't seem to work normally.

Double register on certain rows.
Example:
You press "A", it really registered "A" but also with another letter like "C". Result = Press A, get AC.
When you press "C", it register "C" and "A" together. Result = Press C, get CA.

Need to ask zenny for the details...
Firmware, we have it updated to latest and some others to test... all have similar problem.

Last time, I tested my Ducky Shine 4 vs Filco Majestouch 2 TKL, both Blue Cherry MX.
Filco Majestouch 2 TKL seems to be more clicky and easier to press.
While, Ducky Shine 4 is a bit mushier.
Though, the differences are minimal, unless tested side by side.

So, some people said it might be due to different batches(different forces), which I think it's a very logical explanation.

Blackwidow Chroma is using Razer(Kailh) Switches, the "BEST" switch ever. I used it before and threw it right away after few weeks.
The older Blackwidow Keyboards(years back) are using Cherry MX Switches.

And, we also get to see more brands are getting Gateron Switches nowadays too.

Link? RM 100? You sure it's Cherry MX...
It can be just using random clone switches because I saw many Mechanical Keyboards in TaoBao is around RMB 150-250 and they're using random clone switches.

It is STATED using Rapoo Branded Mechanical Switches and NOT CHERRY MX BRANDED.
Like I said before, RANDOM CLONE SWITCHES and definitely not Genuine Cherry MX Switches.

Though, Rapoo is not a bad brand, their switches should be OK.

It's really unknown. I personally think it should be OK.
Cherry MX is known for their durability and consistency.

So far, Gateron Branded Clone Switches seems to perform the same as Cherry MX and some said it's even better than Cherry MX.
And, also possible KBC Branded Clone Switches also should be the same or better than Cherry MX.

Inferior ones will be Goate, Greentech, Kailh, etc.

That sounds very nice!
Would like to check them out for more custom MKB makings.

By the way, my B87 turns out to be having a faulty PCB.
Now, waiting for replacement.

Apparently, looks like Dual Tone Thick PBT Dye-sublimated Cherry Profile Keycaps.
USD 200+ for CM Storm Novatouch + Keycap Set is pretty much a good deal, consider the CM Storm Novatouch alone is around RM 700 here.

That Costar Stab, really need to be careful. LOL.

Also, I find some lousy made keycaps(too tight when pulling it out) can destroy the stem and shits. Be careful with that too.

I don't think there'll be TKL version anytime soon(although I can be wrong).
They've announce Ducky Shine 5 during Computex 2015 and also new Ducky One Series(translucent acrylic housings keyboards).
If there's a TKL version, they should have announced by then.

Not sure why they ditched TKL market...
The sales is bad for TKL??

Filco superior than Ducky in term of quality.
But, no backlite LED shine.

Yea, I think Shine 5 or maybe the Ducky One Series has TKL version rolling out.
Since Shine 5 is announced and to be released soon as well as being about the same look as Shine 4, I think it will be logical to have Shine 5 as TKL rather than Shine 4.
