These babies are sexy... If I am not wrong, these aren't OEM Profile right?
Are they DSS Family Profile?

so far it felt quite good, though need some time to adjust to it, key feels very light, tried several games that requires lots of key mashing and it works well with it.
just lacking that tactile bump feedback due to being linear switch and those clicky noise.
*
Red is very sensitive based on my experience with it.
Soft touch will trigger the press.
That's why I change to BLUE after playing RED for a while.

tbh i kinda liked blue for how it feels and the click sounds. but i got a feeling the noise would become annoying after a while. if given the opportunity i'd go for clear switch or topre.
hows blue doing for you?
*
Pretty good...
Brown and Blue are BEST for me.
Never tested Clear yet, but, it's almost like Blue if not wrong(minus the super clicky sound but I heard harder to press compared to Blue). thumbup.gif
Black is simply too hard for me. Red is too soft.
Topre is very expensive. sad.gif

deck doenst have detachable wired rite?, kinda a bummer.
im pretty sure ducky shine 3 is around 400++, except the tkl version is around 350++

how about ducky shine zero, if not then i think CM Storm Ultimate is a good choice too.
*
Ducky Shine Zero is better than CM Storm Ultimate.
Standard Layout wins.

CM Storm Rapid-i is good.

So far, there's a few good CM Storm Products for MKB...
Such as,
CM Storm Rapid-i TKL
CM Storm Rapidfire TKL / Rapidfire Stealth TKL
CM Storm Novatouch TKL(Topre Switches)

That's why the LEDs only shine through the "LETTERS" area and not everything like regular ABS LED keycaps(not Black).
Also, when compared to CM Storm Stock Keycaps, these keycaps are slightly thicker.

Guys , I have a problem here...

When playing sdo, key can't respond fast enough thus I missed the key..

Any way I can solve it ? sad.gif

Maybe, you need an "USB to PS2" Converter?
Not sure if it's your skills problem... LOL.

Anyway, to those who want to know the IMSTO Keycap Set(Which I wanna sell)'s Thickness, it's this thick.
user posted image

And, Taobao PBT Keycap Sets I bought are about 65% of the thickness of IMSTO Keycap. Means, thinner than IMSTO by around 35%.
But, still 100% thicker(means twice as thick) than Filco and Ducky Original Keycaps.

If I am not wrong, you'll need to insert your Keyboard to the PS/2 Port in order to achieve True N-Key Rollover.

Rosewill RK9000 , IKBC F103 from Taobao RM385 shocking.gif  or Ducky Zero .

What am I looking for :

-A good Mech Keyboard that can last long
-Back Lighting or non is alright as long as it's user friendly
-Media Key shortcut
-Price around 300-400
-Brown / Blue MX Switch is alright
*
Want long lasting, LED backlighting = NO.
Rosewill, IKBC and Ducky are good.
But, I think Filco still the best bet here.

Is LED backlighting that bad ? it will die if i'm not lucky right ?

Well Filco ... I'll check on it ...
I was waned to purchase a IKBC F104 but i hear nowadays fake from taobao increasing and I can't exchange if there's any problem ... So i'm consider a Local one
*
Local ones = Ducky and CM Storm(some models only) if you insist want to have LED...
Or else, Filco, BEST durability so far.

LED really = LUCK matters.
My friend bought Ducky Shine 3 and CM Storm Rapid-i, both also got LED problem.
While, I bought Ducky Shine 4 and Ducky Shine 3 as well as Razer BW Ultimate Chroma, all no LED problem.

if u google up making choices for mkbs most of em will say it depends on the user. most liked the colorful leds, some dont. for me, i dun really liked it cuz my room always dark. the led shines like the sun blinds me. leds wont die easily, its long lasting,

u can feel the topnotch quality materials used on filcos mkbs. except its abs kcap. worth checking it out.

Filco ABS Keycaps still have better quality than those of Ducky and CM Storm. smile.gif

I see ... appreciate for you guys reply . I think i'll go with Filcos .
They have media shortcut key ? or it's just plain mech high quality board ?
and Can it fit it F104 keycaps ? Cause I got some spare here  sweat.gif
*
IKBC F104's Layout is STANDARD.
Filco Majestouch 2 is using STANDARD Layout too.
So, their keycaps can be shared among each other.

Alternatively, if you want higher quality keycaps, you try to find some PBT keycaps(if double-shot ones will last forever).

Actually, it's a fail spray. So, to solve this problem. I make it looks like damaged and then final touch, I spray a Matte Clear Coat on it to protect it and also make it looks matte.

Would like to know what is your expectation of the sprayed casing?
It will be nice if you can let us the render version of your expectation casing. smile.gif
*
I am not sure if it's the spray can problem, because it shoots out the paints weirdly like rain droplets rather than moist mist. I am not using cheap spray can, it's Krylon Gloss White(About RM 40) and Krylon Matte Coat Finish(About RM 36).
So, some parts of the keyboards are ruined(inconsistent thickness).
To solve this, I just have to make battle-scarred version of it and then spray at Matte Coat Protection on top and DONE. smile.gif

Originally, I intend to make some masking patterns but I changed my plan last minute.
