what did you call a keycap that has a gap with the board?

something like this.



instead of something like this.



is there any special jargon/wording for it?. im looking for that kind of keyboard.
im using CM Rapid-i now btw.

It's called, "floating keys" design. More commonly seen in the form of Corsair's K65 and K70. There's also Varmilo's VA87M

Sup guys. Unbusying nowadays

i think those razer blackwidow x has them as well right?

is like a trend, pok3r and also Razer also have model with this type of design

Haha..
Yup, floating keys, and for case, we called the case as low profile.

This. A thousand times this.

I don't need/like/want your shitty manufacturer kikep.

dadude! long time no see mang!

but those uv coated backlit oem profile keycaps like ducky, razer, cm, corsair, are necessary for the bling bling.
if only some manufacturer makes cherry profile uv coated backlit keycaps...

They need to do dual-material doubleshot.

Legends = transparent/translucent polycarb

Body = extra-thick PBT

Problem is, polycarb melting point (120~C) lower than PBT (200+C) (general trend is transparent plastic melts lower point because of higher purity) deswai this will never happen.

SP got do one GB like this, but thin as fuark ABS keycaps that in the end looks worse.

So in the end, it's the materials that let us down. Until we find another easy to manufacture transparent plastic with high melting point.


Also, back becuz ZZ96 (shipping edy) and Nantucket selectric (shipping soon ™).

Many reseller still staying in general market, and they do it in general way.
If I ask such question, I can provide bare board without keycaps, but still the pricing is won't very far compared with full keyboard with keycaps.
And it depends on brand, I able to do it for Filco keyboard that I sell.

Now pipul start to get why I go kastam.

Next project will involve novataouch... when I have the $$$ and monies...

Not everyone has the budget to go custom, im saying this even though I hate those stock abs keycaps. It's there for people who just got into mechkb, or has the budget to only have 1 keyboard.

Better keycaps = more budget for manufacturer, in the end, they will use this chance to drive the price higher and use the "premium keycap" as a gimmick.

Hi guys.

Waiting for my ducky one (non led) cherry brown to arrive. Paid rm326 for it. Gonna replace my 7 year old Logitech Dinovo Edge. Any tips?

Ehhh I understand... Custom at least 50% more expensive, but trust me in the end it's worth it.

What tip you want? Just plug and play la.

Be prepaid to invest in nice(r ) keycaps

Custom is never 50% more expensive.. it's ready to empty your wallet, lose your left nut and sell your kidney.

IF you wanna do super high-end custom of course la. If lower end still can kastam. That's the beauty of kastam. Cheap cheap can, super ex can.

Like my lightsaver.

Dust/Clean your keyboard once a while. Remove all your keycaps, and clean it using polident, and clean your plate area with brush.
