done xd.

maybe i should start a 24'' -27'' wide screen pc lcd club

or are you browsing from your smartphone/tablet?

i use a G700s logitech mouse. the scroller is really good for web browsing. But downside is, it's bad for pressing middle button for games

ducky dk9008G2 tiger limited edition - cherry mx brown. using mix of cherry corp classic doubleshot and dye sublimated keycaps. also signature plastic doubleshots. also some window led keycaps i got from taobao.

and a vintage cherry corp G80 variant with cherry corp double shot keycaps. cherry mx black switch old version.

CES 2016: Lenovo Introduces 17.3″ Y900 Gaming Laptop, Features GTX 980M and Mechanical Keyboard


http://www.lowyat.net/2016/90165/ces-2016-...nical-keyboard/




i can get a Acer Nitro V with similar pc specs for Rm 3xxx to 4xxx ..... so mechanical keyboard or not, i think spending that much for a laptop is a poor investment. Laptop tend not to be easy to upgrade compared to PC desktop. sure ram, hdd/ssd probably.

But if something wrong with battery (unless it's a model with a swap battery method), or if the screen has issues because of age, or you want to change cpu/motherboard to newer gen, your out of luck.


the nitro got refreshed too by the way

as such i'm pretty okay with a chiclet keyboard design on laptop :} but if you need mechanical for laptop it's there, at a premium

gaming keyboard in my mind falls under

1. lowest input latency (mechanical keyboard doh)
2. most dependable actuation (mechanical switches beat rubber dome for sure)
3. extra blings such as macro keys, led lighting.... keyboard software UI, etc...



i prefer the plain look. but some aren't too bad (if wrist rest is well designed, may be okay).... other just go overboard..... i've owned a big a-ss rubberdome keyboard g15, so i'm familiar with these weird big designs. it's not pleasant

logitech finally has something to compete with that corsair led mkb

G810 Orion Spectrum


http://www.lowyat.net/2016/94685/logitech-.../#disqus_thread



RM799



if your budget minded, you can just get a simple mkb with a rm 4xx-5xx budget. but if you want to treat yourself to a nice looking mkb for long term investment (as in your not going to need a new mkb for the next decade) then this seems like a good mkb.

i paid slightly more for mine, but i use double shots and dye sub keycaps which added to the cost. not to mention ordered overseas the mkb since at the time the model i wanted wasn't available locally. things changed a lot these days

i don't see a problem with that. though i recommend you make a dedicated thread in the sellers forum area for it. you can then mention here for people to check it out.

very nice review

now asus is getting in on the mkb action







they mention aluminium, do they mean the plate only? or the whole chasis?

some of their features people may appreciate
- nkro
- a dock for your mobile phone
- extra keys for macro
- macro software
- media controls e.g. volume, keyboard led brightness

so gateron is better? which one is closest to a cherry mx brown though ??

i tried red it's very nice but i worry i rest my fingers on keys too much. brown is more suitable for me, doesn't hurt my finger. but i'm not familiar with gateron at all

and how does logitech's romero g fit into this? is it good or worse?

that charcoal dye sub looks really nice

me and quavadis came up with the idea to reward the mkb users in this club seeing as we hit like v28 which is no small feat in lyn forum so it was due that we reward our enthusiastic members who made it possible. so stay tuned and watch this thread for the next few days cause give away for mkb incoming

will use this to pick a random winner
https://www.random.org/lists/

also thinking of doing this on live stream on my channel later *you can subscribe if you want to be alerted when stream goes up. but i'll post up front what day and time i'll stream the draw
http://www.twitch.tv/mooglestiltzkin


winner entry will show on stream something like joXX HoXXXX for privacy :] i'll keep a separate list (not shown on stream duh) for the winner details so i know who then we can ship to them.


if anyone has a better alternative let me know

PS: i hope the winner will do the rest of us a favor and do a small review. doesn't have too be too extensive, just whatever you feel comfortable with

winner can be declared on the 26th at 7pm sharp

twitch.tv/mooglestiltzkin

i know you didn't mean me, but since this got brought up, for the record i never make a single cent or personal sponsorship from starting this lyn thread. at most i only sold my old ducky 9008 to get a dk9008-g2 tiger limited edition, but everybody does that as a regular user

as for facebook i hate it, but if others want to use it, i'm cool with that

anyways good luck to everyone at the chance for getting a mkb thx to our sponsor cooler master.

i saw the picture of the mkb in question, honestly it seems to cover all bases a gamer or even a general typist would need. even the palm rest is detachable if you decide to use your own

PS: if people want to make business regarding mkb i'm cool with that, as long as they don't lie or cheat others which is crossing the line. one reason i left GH community is because it's filled with trolls running the place. and some of the sellers not ethical.

i was surprised that more people liked the brown than the red for gaming (personally i prefer brown general and gaming, but i didn't think majority of others did too )

This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Feb 25 2016, 08:42 AM

confirmed.

i'm sorting through the list as we speak

damn time passes by so fast. i was actually waiting for the division launch when the mkb contest completed sooner

PS: i'm hard at work editing the list. also gonna test my stream actually works

This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Feb 26 2016, 01:28 AM

Just to remind everyone, the give away lucky draw will be done today at 7pm over at my twitch channel (though i'll probably log into channel roughly around 6:30 pm ish ideally just so i don't arrive last minute to find out stream doesn't work )

http://www.twitch.tv/mooglestiltzkin



to qualify to win, you do not have to attend the giveaway on the twitch at the appointed time. i'm not trying to promo my channel if thats what your wondering (i rarely stream these days) it's just so people can see for themselves a live lucky random draw to ensure the winner is picked fairly


the entry list i received i've finished editing it to censor out private details. i appended a uniquer identifier to each person's entry for easy identification. then the public list everyones identity is censored most part.

then i will add this unique id list on
https://www.random.org/lists/

to pick the winner which will be shown at #1 in the list. then can cross reference the ID to the winners censored name, which i will later check off stream the winner and email/private message on forum that they've won.

also for full disclosure i also added 1 single entry for myself, though i'll gift it to my bro who still uses rubberdome.... (he is a former pro gamer that use to represent malaysia for counter strike back in WCG, so is probably due time he gets a mkb if his lucky ).

if anyone need any clarifications please do let me know

i'll delete the entry lists for the compy entry once the winner is selected and has received their prize. i'll use privazer since can delete securely i use to work in the banking sector handling sensitive data so you can trust i won't abuse any info we used for this compy.

anyway best of luck everyone


PS: i ran a test trial to make sure this worked okay






i already pre-ordered the gold edition. if you decide to get, we can hook up and go rob some newbs like in this video
