Hi all

need some help here, new to this mechanical keyboard. came across this thread a while back while looking at popular topics.
First impression was wtf these keyboards are expensive few hundred almost a 1k
2nd wow was so many enthusiast here (7 new threads in 2015)

I have previously used and love the microsoft keyboard ergonomics 4000.
https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http:/...OB2AQMwgdKAAwAA

absolutely love the keyboard layout. but only thing is the keys suck they dont last long, in a few months to 1 years some keys fail. these keyboard are about RM250 each.
there is nothing else quite like this keyboard layout at that price.

Now for my main questions are blue switches.
I have not tested any switch yet, will go to a pc shop and try when i get a chance.

red - not gamer, i prefer tactile feel
blue seems to be the popular choice for typist but its too loud.
brown seems to suit me spec wise?
green - how does that feel? page 1 description is not that clear.

what different between Ducky Zero and Ducky One?
their prices seems to be cheapest mechanical keyboard in Malaysia

Ergonomics mechanical keyboards are just way too expensive? unless someone knows where i can find a clone in taobao or something.

ducky one = the one in the link doesn't have LED, but it has macro functions which ducky zero doesn't have.

Actually I have kind of tested mechanical keyboard few months back, i saw the price tag of RM700-800 and know nothing about mechanical keyboard it, push a few keys and knew they felt different to my normal keyboard.

Macro function - can you also get them in free generic software that can be used in any keyboards? i think there are also macros for mouse as well?

For us normal users, get a TKL, will fit your needs. Not bad, and optimized for basic ergonomics needs.

Avoid LELONG/11street/lazada, or you may buy at your own risk.
We advised you first, but if you insist to keep buy, then later don't complain.  biggrin.gif

TKL?
are you referring to TKL coolermaster keyboard? - it looks like a normal keyboard not ergonomics, and very expensive RM600-700

mind to share why avoid LELONG/11street/lazada? has some users con via fake products before?
I do most of my electronics shopping online as its cheaper.

Is there a similar thread about mouse?
I bought a lot of different omron switches from taobao last year with the intent of changes the switches, one of my middle clicks are soo loud and annoying.
i have a logitech G300/G300s, think its the best mouse as it suites me finger grip. love all the extra programmable buttons. they are soo convenient.
eg here is how i program my mouse in desktop mode
Alt+Tab (switch window)
Window+D (show desktop)
Ctrl (so you can zoom in out with wheel)
ALT+F4 (close window)
Undo button
Back button

TKL or Ten Key Less, also called 80% keyboard. A full sized keyboard is 100%. A TKL is essentially minus the number pad. 65% keyboards are even smaller, eg Vortex Pok3r
*
lol i google "tkl keyboard" and that cm came up twice on top, i thought it was just a brand/model

oh cheers, i need full size, i frequently use the numpad.

For starters, get a cheap ones. The RM150 being sold by one guy here should be pretty good, just make sure turn off the LED to show your prowess as a professional, not some bling-bling vidya gaymens kid.

can you tell me who are selling the RM150 MK? I may be interested in getting one for myself too.

I'm typing in custom dvorak typing layout, so, I'm using blank. Blank does not improve your typing skills, just that once you are a touch typist, you don't depends on printed font.

*
I assume you learn qwerty first? how long did it take you to learn dvorak?
I assume you use dvorak daily, can you still type in qwerty fluently? if you need to eg using someones normal pc?


QUOTE(dadudeneverabides @ Mar 9 2016, 05:08 PM)
1. It doesn't. You suck at programing, and you'd probably will continue to suck unless you improve. It's the same as the guy who tried to buy a 1960s Gibson in order to play better, but unless he improves his playing, he will still suck.

2. Refer to 1.

Don't thank me, I think you're an idiot.

Whats your problem dud, every hear of constructive feedback?

Ya, qwerty during young age
3 months, to reach optimal typing speed. (~1k tests taken in 10fastfingers.com, 77wpm)

Still can type in qwerty. But, I don't like qwerty, no points.
Using other people pc, then just go change their keyboard to dvorak and use. smile.gif
*
was it difficult for you to learn dvorak? i have no idea, qwerty is like 2nd nature to me (almost 20 years) and i do like the idea of dvorak but thought of re-learning to type just scares me. you know what i mean? what made you wanted to learn dvorak?

LOL i just used that website to test myself, first try was 66wpm 3 errors and i was not even trying hard,
2nd try i was hoping i would do better BUT i only got 44
3rd try was 50. wtf.... are my fingers stressed already?
i think i am happy with 66wpm, dvorak probably would help me type faster, but more importantly its less stress on the fingers.

But man re-learn how to type is like.... hard......
