hmm.... right now i dont have my RK-9000 near me so i cant tell right away, will test when i got home

Kana V2

but the lift-off distance is making me as I am a claw-grip user

That's a Kana right?

erm... already mentioned is Kana v2

There's nothing wrong at all with that way of thinking.

A lot of people, especially those stingy or cheapskate ones, will call you out for your approach. In their minds, if you don't buy the correct switch on the first attempt, it means you are a spendthrift who didn't do your homework properly.

But if you can easily afford a second (or third) keyboard, this trial-and-error method is probably the best. It's what I practice and I firmly believe MKB enthusiasts should never have only 1 board. Many important lessons are learnt through the process of comparison. Besides, you can always sell off what you don't need at a later date.

Btw I like how you say "I can just buy another keyboard" like money is not an issue

Haha. Far from it. It's just that the usual recommendation of getting switch testers really doesn't do it for me. I'm the type of guy who needs long hours and the full experience to decide something. The only thing I got from playing around with mech kbs at shops is that all of them feel awesome. I can also read all about the different switches but that won't tell me how good it would feel.

Money certainly is an issue, escpecially with today's economy but I guess this is the solution for me.

how about this way, buy and try until you are satisfied that you are not satisfied with the keyboard, sell it off.
or just buy 2nd hand keyboard.

Well, that is the thing when trying out keyboard at shops. We wont get into a typing posture, but standing all the time. All the keys barely felt any different when you tried it while standing. You can only feel it when you rest your palm on the desk and then just press the key with just your fingers.

At first, I thought I wanted to stand out, like with the clicky keys. I almost bought a gigabyte mechanical with mx blue but the staff recommend the cm storm trigger with mx brown. Although I did miss the clicky sound but one thing for sure is that linear keys are smoother and dont have tactile bump. Although they said mx brown had the tactile bump, but it was really light that I would miss it 95% of the time. Now that I have the red, its even smoother than the brown.

Personally, no matter which switch you buy, I think you will be happier with it than membrane keyboard. Its just so hard to get used to other keyboard once you get used to it already.

Customising your keycaps will be the next addiction

Hahaha... unless I tio 4D first prize...

BTW, is there a difference when typing with pbt?

IMHO,

If you are using clicky switches, stick with ABS cause pbt will muffle down the clickyness

If linear/tactile - PBT

logitech G810 vs razer blackwidow, thoughts?

get the Logitech if you want to try out new switches, it uses revolutionary switch that has redundant contact points and light source placed in the middle of the switch.

but I'd probably pick the Razer out of these two because I'm still able to get after market keycaps and replacement switches if anything ever go wrong with it.

can anyone tell me how to order ikbc f-104 from taobao(specific link)? seems like no seller is carrying the f-104 anymore, instead they have the g-104 model
