Congrats on V27!

Just purchased a Leopold FC660c from Japan at approx RM660. Could've gotten a Realforce but I prefer compact layouts and this is a 66 key layout.
Topre 45g switches on PBT Dye Sublimated Keys (except for space which is ABS I think).
This keyboard will replace my Filco TKL Brown Switch at home and complement my current Poker KBT Red switch (work keyboard). The Filco will go to my fiance, who herself already using another Filco TKL Blue Switch.

Hi there, my first post here. I've been looking for the Filco Majestouch Convertible 2 (bluetooth) brown switches locally but to no avail. Contacted a few fellows at garage sale, price listed but not available for the moment. Even tried calling Inter Asia but the person in charge wasn't around today. Is there any way I could get it quickly while keeping the overall cost at bay (excessive shipping cost)?

Currently I've been using the KBTalking pro wireless with brown switches as well but for some reasons I need a second unit, and that is from Filco..

Only from taobao or amazon.jp(tenso), since the official distri not yet bring in this model.

You want to live in a highway but don't want to pay more, don't think is possible unless there are some nice guy doing charity. blush.gif

Thanks for the reply but if by using the highway brings me more value than what I'd pay for, I would..

the local prices given are below 550 but going with Taobao would be near or exceeding 700 without bringing any extra value to the keyboard.

there's a difference between reasonable and excessive delivery costs from overseas beyond such threshold...in the end, a keyboard is not life and death, so if it's not available now locally, it'll be a wait smile.gif

I have check Amazon JP for the price of a Filco 104 C2 is 17,480 yen

The package is 1.2kg, which from tenso is 2880 yen

Total = 17480+2880=20360yen

Using google rate, it is about RM613, factoring in higher currency charge by CC malaysia.

Which make this keyboard around rm650, deliver to you doorstep. cool2.gif

Thanks too for this. Yeah, the convertible is an even more niche product within an already niche market. I thought there's slight hope when i saw locally available price. the useful info have been "not available since 5 months ago and the past experience with the supplier". it's deja vu again as I recall ordering the KBtalking keyboard 3 years back as wireless mechanicals were even more scarce..

We experienced this long time ago from this Coming Soon™, thats why I think spend about RM100 more is worth than waiting™ them to come.

Is there any recommended keyboard for the programmer? budget around rm300~400, preferably with Numpad & Easy to type.

Topup a bit and get yourself a FILCO brown switch.

1. No led, no need to worry about led die. smile.gif
2. Not detachable mean the usb connector is more rugged. tongue.gif

i like detachable cables. because if anything happens to the wire, it's easily replaceable. when my baby nephew wants to play with my mkb, i can easily just detach the cable so it's not live tongue.gif

depends on quality.... honestly i like the ducky brand cauz usually it's decent price for good features. only issues i notice tend to be the small things like, the tilt stand is cheap and flimsy. and keycaps aren't doubleshots.
filco has an option for doubleshot keycaps which i think you need to buy separately from the keyboard.
http://www.keyboardco.com/blog/index.php/2...ons-and-review/
deck brand is like the rolls royce of mkbs. very good quality BUT it's expensive as well. last time i checked was in the 800+ range. also remember it's an overseas product, so shippings fees gonna cost you a bomb as well. unless is stocked locally which i doubt
http://www.deckkeyboards.com/product/hassium-pro-108-key
so it comes down to filco or ducky.
http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/335590...nja-majestouch/
ducky has better lighting. and i think their doubleshot kit is also compatible with ducky if thats what you want added later  hmm.gif  also easier to get ducky in malaysia.

1. That doubleshot is in SA (High sculpture profile) which may and may not suitable for anyone. (Yes, SA profile by SP)

2. Deck is just a normal brand like other OEM brand which use cherry MX switches, why will it be rolls royce? rolleyes.gif

3. No comment on ducky. rolleyes.gif

1. Where do you get the info on flat is cheap and easy, while sculptured is more expensive, anysource? rolleyes.gif
No comment on the preference, but SA profile is not for everyone, I type on it before and it is too high for my liking, I still prefer DCS/Cherry profile in the end.

2. First off, the pbt doubleshot use on DECK is not really that great to type on, for me, Filco ori keycaps is better than it.
For the price of that keyboard, you can always replace aftermarket ABS/PBT keycaps to it, also the DECK PBT DS keycaps can be bought alone rolleyes.gif
And then , I check ur picture link reviews on DECK, for what I read, there is nothing so good about DECK that make it "Rolls Royce" other than using PBT doubleshot keycaps, which is cheap and dat font, oh well rolleyes.gif

If there is really rolls royce, I would say it is Topre Realforce series cool2.gif

This reminds me. I bought a DECK switch sampler last year. It's been gathering dust, so if you'd like to loan it PM me and we can work things out.  smile.gif

It's a great start to feel the different switches (MX Black, Red, Blue, Brown) but it can't replicate the feel of the actual keyboard.

Best if you can test the entire keyboard itself at the stores.

It is because the typing feel with and without plate is much different. tongue.gif

Hi, i'm a newbie to mech keyboards.

My budget is around RM500.

What brand should i go for?

I prioritise Cherry MX Blue and build quality over anything.

I don't really mind about the backlighting, i think it's a gimmick and i don't wanna stress when one of the LEDs die.

Been looking at DAS, anyone got any other recommendations?

Cheers.

yeah, including shipping will be about $200 for the WASD, but it looks really sleek.

I've decided to split my budget to get a mx brown filco and a keycap set from SP.
not sure if i want to get a DSA Dolch set or a DCS midnight set.
they come out to be about the same price. what do you guys think?
http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/products...-110-total-keys
http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/products...ight-keycap-set

does anyone here offer modding services?
there is a GB for springs now on MD.
i would also want to get a mx clear 60% later on and have it modded.

i've tried the common switches (red, black, blue, brown) and liked the browns and wanted to try the heavier clears.

any suggestions for a good 60% cherry with clears?
currently looking at the pok3r but waiting for the backlit version.
thanks.

For tactile switches, I would advice to get SP DCS keycaps, the sound and the feeling is GODNESS cool2.gif

I recommend you to get Greetech/KBT "Tupai" switches if you want tactile switches like brown, but with a-bit more tactile.

KBT NT108 cost <rm350 for current conversion rate if self import from taobao, compare to CODE keybaord which is RM750 or more. rolleyes.gif
