rather tempted to jump ship to a CM Novatouch ever since testing Topre switches back then

but the price is rather steep

just wondering would it be a good purchase...

many keys not there.. so need to program on the available keys
*
not really, there's function key in the 60% board where if you combine fn+numb = FNUM

then fn+wasd = arrow keys

and so..

The advantage of it is portability and small which allows you to have closer keyboard and mouse distance

Get from taobao, it's just too expansive for beginners if you purchase from Europe/US

Anybody has first hand experience to use MX RED and BLACK switches? Contemplating which will be better in terms of working on emails and Microsoft office work?
*
IMHO if you're a typer you can try some tactile ( brown, ergo clear switches, topre )/ clicky switch ( blue ), linear I would suggest trying gateron black switches

Hello. Can anyone recommend me an affordable full sized mechanical keyboard?
I'm considering the Rosewill RK-9000. Apparently the RRP is RM 299. What do you think of this?
I've also checked the prices for the full sized Ducky Zero DK2108, which retails for RM 343. Is this superior to Rosewill?

My main use is for typing documents, and I've sort of made up my mind to choose cherry MX Brown switches.

I appreciate any feedback that you guys provide.

If you want end game keyboard I suggest just top up another rm80 to get FILCO keyboard, no regrets rclxms.gif

Likewise. The color scheme doesn't really turn me on but the fonts do.

If he still has another set at that price you should get it. The Dolch sets I've seen online are all pricier than his.
Got it for waaay below market price; seller said it was dead stock stuck for >1 year and wanted to clear it.

Engineering samples & review units of Novatouch say "Topre" on the packaging, but retail units say "Hybrid Capacitive". Not sure why.

still have another novatouch? maybe can harvest the sliders rclxms.gif

Not sure bro. People who own Novatouch rarely seem to sell them off secondhand.

And it's not worth it to get a new one (even with huge discount) just to harvest sliders.
*
Haha just saying, even at half price rm400 not sure if it's worth harvesting. I wonder why china isn't manufacturing this kind of stem

End game? what end game?  cry.gif  cry.gif

I thought I reach end game when I assemble my 60% but now I bought 2 realforce, 1 filco, 1 ergodox, 1 60% china parts and started getting into artisans. Now going to sell everything except 1 realforce and ergodox rclxub.gif

QUOTE(pigscanfly @ Nov 23 2015, 11:52 PM)
Thanks for your feedback SticH. But what is an "end game keyboard"? Please enlighten me SticH
*
End game means buy already then stop buying another keyboard, which isn't quite possible when our members kept spreading poison rclxms.gif

Err.. It's a spray cleaner with alchohol content to clean grease and dirts away.

Just googled

QUOTE
Contact cleaners tend to leave a lubricating / corrosion inhibiting residue which may or may not be welcome on a connector as it may attract dust & dirt.


Generally we don't really lube the blue switches else it's going to lose the clicyness. Maybe try giving it some compress air and try again? Last resort have to desolder the switch, clean and solder it back
