QUOTE(OldSchoolJoke @ Jan 13 2016, 10:07 PM) oh..ok..still got alot more to dig about this LingYi, apparently, not much of reviews available. Better to find sifu and see if they let you molest. Oh, okay, i got alot mroe to research about mech keyboards. thanks for the info guys! wanna get cheap mech keyboard to see whether it suits me or not. Or go molest in shop. Personally, it won't work for me because I need to test extensively (2 weeks at least) before I commit. |

QUOTE(-Hzu- @ Jan 14 2016, 12:34 AM) I talked about the SteelSeries Apex M800 the other day, if any of you noticed (lol) but anyway, here's some pics. I tried my best to take some photos, I'm really bad at photography lol. Not mechanical. Get lost. It's pretty cool. [attachmentid=5795330][attachmentid=5795331][attachmentid=5795333] QUOTE(OldSchoolJoke @ Jan 14 2016, 09:41 AM) well, i played with mech keyboard before from my friend. very nice to type using the key. i believe its brown switch, Ducky Shine 2 if not mistaken. MX Browns are the most controversial switches I've ever had the pleasure of trying. Some hated it, some loved it, but it's often suggested as the gateway switch for new users. You'll buy another one soon enough. |

QUOTE(justnits @ Jan 14 2016, 11:45 AM) aww sheesh man, that's a mechanical keyboard alright, just that it's a different type of switch, QS1. easy on the trigger will ya? -Hzu- to be honest when i saw the spacebar, my first instinct is to run away LOL! when i see it's not cherry mx or mx compatible switch, i also run away because one of my main interest is changing keycaps set. though i'm curious as to how it feels...is that yours? QUOTE(-Hzu- @ Jan 14 2016, 11:45 AM) Then you don't know about this keyboard. I'm not talking about the lame SteelSeries Apex which is obviously a rubber dome or membrane (I can't remember), this is the Apex M800 which uses their own QS1 switch. The switch is light as a feather and really short in height too. It's so light that I can't almost feel what I'm typing, which is kinda annoying. And yup, not MX compatible. The spacebar freaked me out too when I first saw it. Kennot change keekap. Get lost. Not mine, but my relative. He got it for free for reason unknowns lol. But in all seriousness, I hate SS as much as I hate Razer after my middle button broke on the mouse. Most of my concern is that this is a bling bling board for "gamers" with a linear-like switch that's not really any special except for having the LEDs in the middle. If you look at the pictures online, first thing I noticed was fingerprints on the spacebar... which means the caps are probably POM with a paint coating on top. And as justnits said, good luck with changing the keycaps a few years down the road. I estimate WASD to wear down in about 12 months. p/s; Yes I know nothing about SS or Razer boards because the moment I see those brands I turn off completely ady.

QUOTE(-Hzu- @ Jan 14 2016, 12:23 PM) Neither do I lol. The keycaps feels very thin and as expected, it's purely for bling-bling. They claimed it as the most programmable mechanical keyboard, maybe just the backlighting is the most programmable, I don't know. I didn't spend too much time on it, but yeah I can't play snake and minesweeper on the keyboard. So they weren't lying, perhaps? 1.5mm actuation distance. (yes, I did my homework)What can I say though, it's a keyboard targeted for the "gaming" community. Most of them don't even care about the switches, how it feels and whether or not those keyboards have any impacts on their typing experience but just only for the bling-bling. When we talk about a keyboard, they all scream RGB and the software to modify the backlighting right now. It's sad lol, makes me wonder what does that have anything to do with gaming at all. |

QUOTE(OldSchoolJoke @ Jan 14 2016, 03:38 PM) yea..the brown switch is just nice to the force i used..prefer blue switch cause of the clicky sounds though Problem is... good keycap set will cost upwards of 200. I estimate at least 300+ in order to get a decent set. different user have different preference..that's why they have various type of switches.. well, now on tight budget, maybe need to wait few more months see whether i can afford >RM300 mech keyboard. now still researching regarding the keys. Board... well, minimum spend here is about 300. Add both and you'll realize why this hobby had to take a break after a few years. |

QUOTE(davey.havok @ Jan 20 2016, 03:03 AM) Nice Actually with the angle of typing you'll never hit the bolts.I prefer the look of your top plate over the current Massdrop one Don't those tall bolts get in the way? I'd personally choose screws that are flush with the top plate As for keycaps... Looks like Ergodox users got very limited choice: either blanks or Granite zzz Caps wise I'm waiting for SA caps TBH. |
