QUOTE(quovadis123 @ Feb 26 2016, 07:31 PM) ssxcool won. Still contacting him. im here lol, thank you very muchWe published why he deserved a mechanical keyboard reason here. "I spend my days typing and noticed that my hands getting fatigue after a while. Also, mkb might give me a competitive edge in gaming because it requires less force to press a key." Hopefully, he will cherish his new keyboard. Congratz And thanks for everyone joining this event. -- More events coming soon as well. This year, will be quite active in the community. Stay tune. |

QUOTE(rurushu @ Feb 26 2016, 11:48 PM) In terms of thickness, it feels slightly thicker and slightly more solid compared to the stock keycaps. The surface of the keycaps has a matte texture to it, which definitely aids in terms of grip when typing. The slight extra in thickness can be heard when you bottom out the keys. It doesn't sound as hollow as the stock keycaps However, these keycaps do not allow light to be passed through. I did buy with this in mind as half of the LEDs on my Rapid-i have already died and I keep the LEDs off nowadays anyway. The letterings on the keycaps are definitely very clear and visible compared to the stock keycaps, since the stock keycaps are the type that requires backlight to be seen easily. |

QUOTE(rurushu @ Feb 27 2016, 12:22 AM) Simply because Rantopad isn't a great brand, nor is the MXX a great product. The only reason to buy it is because it comes with Gaterons by default.QUOTE(rurushu @ Feb 27 2016, 12:22 AM) The price i not so sure yet, coz i ask my cousin help me buy off taobao for me, not yet know the final price, but estimated it to be around <RM250 shipped.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « join the division, and get a logitech mkb while your at it :} QUOTE One of the exclusive PC features is the support of LED keyboards, which means that you could for example bind certain game actions to certain keys or get informed by flashing lights when your health is low or teammate is down.

QUOTE(dadudeneverabides @ Feb 22 2016, 04:43 PM) The question is not waiting for the caps to be manufactured, which I understand. Doing business while pretending it's "community service" is just one thing.The problem is when they are doing business, but pretend not to be doing it instead. After going through a couple dozen CtrlAlt GB pages in GH, I realised something else - Cody and Bunny love to bounce the ball back and forth. Bunny: "Your item should be with Cody, but he is busy, I will ask him later." Cody: "Bunny knows more about your order, I am not sure, I'll get him to update you." This is a great tactic for buying time, as it allays customers' anxieties (hey, at least ONE of the bosses replied me) and gets them to ease off for a few more days. I used to know a company that did this thing all the time. Boss #1 (on the phone to supplier): "Your payment cheque with boss #2, but he is overseas now, don't worry I will rush him for you." Boss #2 (on the phone to customer): "Your order is being handled by boss #1, he is currently on leave, it will be completed when he gets back." Padahal both bosses are sitting side by side in the same office. We called this tactic "Singgam Linggam". I try to avoid companies that set up two key men to play Singgam Linggam. It's better to deal with faceless entities where your support ticket can be answered interchangeably (e.g. Massdrop), or with companies where one guy is answerable to everything (e.g. Pexon). |

Do you have any other board that also uses gaterons in mind? Is it cheaper to get ready made board or diy our own gateron boards? Found this, the taobao conversion is 195, so I'm assuming the shipping charges and extra fees for conversion should be less than rm50? How much it usually cost to ship a mech kb? http://world.taobao.com/item/527025787668....2_1456538144476 |

Came across Armageddon MKA-5R RGB-Hornet TKL Keyboard while window shopping. Design wise, looks simple with a brushed aluminium top enclosure.
