Buy woods and cut them ourselves?
Then, polish them. Voila.

Doubleshot ABS Keycaps will still get oily surface after using it for very long. But, the legends won't fade.
Now, some ABS Keycaps are sandblasted like PBT Keycaps... Causing them to last longer than traditional ABS Keycaps.

And, a Doubleshot PBT Keycaps(with legends) Set is surely more than RM 100, usually RM 150-300+.

You mean they'll replace you with a new QFR-i directly without waiting when you take your broken QFR-i to RMA?
My friend's QFR-i has some LED problem too. So, he's asking me LOL.
He bought the unit from HeavyArm @ SS15.

Sell me if you don't want your Beige edition... LOL.
I got a Camo edition here.

Thanks for the instruction for the QFR-i.

And, why is that keyboard Serial Number concerns you so much?
Anything interesting to share?

I notice my Filco Majestouch 2 TKL Camo Edition is also 110XXXXXXX. Means it's manufactured in 2011.

And I just realise, Filco Majestouch 2 TKL Camo Edition got MEDIA KEYS... Original Edition doesn't have them.

If Blue Switches again, it will be noisy as it'll be. LOL.
Would recommend Brown and Black, find these 2 colors are having lower noise production.
Combine them with O-Rings, should able to achieve silence keyboard effect.

Do you realise, Filco is noisier than Ducky generally?
I think it's due to the steel plate that Filco uses.

Using Blue Switch, complain everywhere. LOL.

I tried to type softer, trying not to bottom-out each press because that would mean hitting the steel plate under the keys.
I used CM Storm, Razer and Ducky before... Their bottom-out sounds are not as loud as Filco.

And, Blue-Switch is Clicky, Clicky is Blue-Switch. LOL. No matter how, it's noisier than the other colors.

I think you'll suggest him to get Custom MKB which can cost RM 3000 or something?

Interesting, mind explaining more about the GB? Like PCB, Controller, etc? Also, links.
Thanks.

Interesting, I am poisoning my friend... hope he'll fall for this. LOL.

I am on another project with zennasyndroxx currently.

Come bro, let's make a Custom MKB.
AFAIK, RM 500(more or less) should able to get everything done if you're taking parts from Taobao.
Gateron 87 Switches(RM 60-80), PCB + Controller(RM 100+), Plate(RM 50-100), Keyboard Housings/Casing(RM 100-200), USB Cable(RM 30+-), Keycaps(RM 100).

Maybe Ducky Legend(released not long ago) Mechanical Keyboard will feel better or have better quality compared to Filco due to it's aluminium construction.

By the way, I weighted a Filco MJ2 TKL(87 Keys @ TKL Layout) vs a Ducky Shine 4(108 Keys @ Full Layout). Filco MJ2 TKL, despite having lesser keys and non-LED here, still heavier than Ducky Shine 4.

And, don't forget about Vortex branded keyboards. The latest Vortex POK3R Keyboard is using pretty thick aluminium case.

HeavyArm in SS15? They got quite a number of display models, they got something like Ducky, CM Storm, Corsair and Razer...
Though, their price is higher than other places. But, you can try a few MKBs over there.
Alternatively, you can try to go Lowyat and search for display models...(but, they mainly display those keyboards we usually don't recommended like Logitech, Corsair and Razer because they're not using standard layout and sometime using china made switches)

However, even so, they usually don't have display models for something like Filco.

I mean Display Unit.
My last visit to Lowyat, and I don't see Ducky and Filco as well as CM Storm as Display Units. Not sure if they've them on display now or not...
Of course, we know Lowyat got everything like Ducky, Filco, CM Storm, Tesoro, Ttesport, Razer, Corsair, Logitech, Armageddon, etc.

For the Viewnet, totally, agreed. There's no sealing sticker or anything on those keyboards. And, nobody is watching you. LOL.

For some other shops, depending on brand policy, some brands allow you to open the box and see, such as Filco.

For Corsair and Razer, I think not. Those boxes are usually sealed completely. Once it's open, you can see it has been tampered before.

Anyone here got experiences with Gateron Switches(not just Red and Black)...
Something like Blue, Brown, etc?
Need to know their quality... Thanks.

AFAIK, you can't test the real without the whole keyboard taken out.
4 Keys over there is like a joke, at least for me. LOL.
You can only know or feel the Switch Type(like Tactile or Linear). But, real typing and usage feel are something that's completely different.

Interesting, this should mean I should ditch Cherry MX already. XD
