There are actually plenty of reasons not to get the bluetooth one....
1) The USB cable for the VB87 only acts as a charger, it doesn't connect the keyboard to the PC
2) Some people have reported connection issues yet there hasn't been any firmware update till now
3) No dedicated on/off button which is very important to me, I don't want to fiddle with the FN key while wondering whether it's already off or still on
4) You'll lose range if you transplant the VB87 into an aluminium case, which is what I intend to do
5) If buying from Massdrop, they are forced to ship it using expensive DHL due to the Li-ion battery inside (this adds at least RM100 to the cost)
6) I already have one of this

Conclusion is I'd strongly recommend against buying it until Varmilo releases an updated version that addresses #1-3 above at least.

oke, something worth to note for. tenkiyu mastah notworthy.gif
all in all, detachable is oledy much win as long have one of this

done and hi thumbsup.gif

WTShare my amatur expeliyen after a visit to ultimate zone and using MKB for roughly 2 months. Molested a few other(very few since im alone,not buying/asking anything and the salesperson watching my moves) MKBs and knowing switches i can guess the MKB switch. My personalhumble views :-

1. While RED dont feel mechanical(non-tactile,non-clicky) it does feel so much better than membrane as u dont need to bottom out keys. I misclick a lot while using back membrane kb at frens house. Thus switch colour is still a personal preference. No one can choose what's the best for u but personally, blue is the best ! thumbsup.gif

2. Colour is one thing, brand is another. I tried typing randomly on some display Ducky(Cherry) and Tesoro(Kailh) and i noticed the consistency of switch. Some keys on Tesoro dont click, or making some weird click compared to other keys and this happen on 'K','L','P' key area. Or is there any Tesoro MKB with diff switches in diff area? coz i dont open the keycaps to really check the switch and iirc there is no Tesoro model with this feature. As for the Ducky, not much complain except for the price and stabs doh.gif. Cant compare how badly molested those MKBs are, but before buying one i had in mind that switches last 20-50M strokes. And this comparison is basically blues as i can easily notice the diff. Cant say much for other colour switch. Me myself not yet test many switch so better not say much. Other switch brands no comment, but heard so much gooding review on Gateron(cheaper but rare). So i stand my ground on Cherry and Kailh is a big no for me(unless i got for free.typicalmlaysian whistling.gif). There are other known brand Razer, Outemu, Zealio, etc but no MKB design with those switch brands fancy my wallet to surrender all its content. Note that this is focusing on MX stem(korek me if im wrong) and not other types of switches. This is strictly my personalhumble view so again its ur choice. Ive made mine.

All in All Ultimate Zone is really Ultimate Paradise(for noobs like me) and this is only my personalhumble view. u can comment my opinion with ur own. Thank You notworthy.gif
and note me if im wrongly posting this.

nice to see people who actually did a little research and go on a journey to look for the right switch for themselves instead of just asking questions repeatedly on the forum  thumbsup.gif  notworthy.gif  rclxms.gif

after understanding more about blue switch, i don't blame kailh for the supposed not so good QC over the clicky blue switch.
clicky blue requires a bit more QC than it's other siblings due to it's nature.
CODE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu1gP4PfqCQ

go to 1:30 to see what they did to ensure they get the right sound for their clicky blue switch.

but what your post interest me most is your comment about ducky's price and stabs.
which model are you looking at and at what price?
also what about the stabs?
*
Thanks for the compliment, but im really very picky when buying my stuff *read=cheapo* so, much research and googling will be done before buying. dowan to buy now, regret later.
Notice the video awhile ago, but nvr thought of watching it. After watching it, as luke said, never realise so much science has been put in producing it. BIG rclxms.gif to cherry.

well as for the price and stabs, its not a bad comment thou.

1. Price - Have to pay premium to get premium stuff. Surely top brands cant get china stuff price. So basically no arguments on price.

2. Stabs - Uses Cherry instead of Costar. This is oso personal views coz tried some filco at low yat before and yes the longer keys dont wobble much and not as 'mushi' and 'dendi' as Cherry stabs.

P/s : ignore the dendi part. Too much dota2 nowadays.

1. Well you already know what to expect for the price you pay smile.gif

2. Ahh, the dilemma between costar and cherry stabs.
I like Costar stabs because it gives a natural feel for longer keys, but I don't like it when I want to change keycaps sad.gif
With clipping mod, video below, it makes Cherry stabs feels very very closely to Costar's natural feel, after clip mod and lubing it of course. Also, changing keycaps with Cherry stabs is a lot more easier.

CODE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6hPoe3srcw


For me personally, I'd choose Cherry stabs over Costar because I change keycaps quite often.
Owning one Filco board is enough for me smile.gif
Even for that I won't be changing the keycaps often, just will remove them for cleaning once it's dirty.
*
1. Yea at last i just bought a Ducky Zero (which dont have many features(macros, backlights etc) but have all the basic keys i need and very much CherryMX keys) on promo price at 260 which i feel worth every penny. At least i got cherry keys on a gooding brand MKB.

2. Learnt bout the clipping mod oso in this forum before. but iirc davey.havok said it might broke the switch/stabs. n iinm he expeliyen that himself. n yes this not including the hassle of desolder the switch, lubing etc etc.
me personally would choose cherry stabs for ease of changing keycaps but i can move on with costar as i dont change very often. keycaps cost a fortune imma cheapo for me n would rather spend that fortune on other upgrades or even a new board icon_rolleyes.gif

QUOTE(rurushu @ Apr 1 2016, 03:19 PM)
but for those off-the-shelf boards is kind of a pain in the A** to do the clipping mod + lubing because need to desolder all the switches (if it is plate-mounted)  doh.gif

the effort required for your feelios is too much in  my opinion...

this can be take into account with ease when you are building custom boards though, coz you can do so before soldering  smile.gif

that is because the poison hasnt seep deep enough in you.... yet  devil.gif

Wait you go research more on keycaps and stumble upon the keyword "GMK", "JTK", "artisans" then you know what i meant  laugh.gif  laugh.gif

Yea, those are the things that make me jump to MKB. But knowing the price, not sure worth it. maybe someday when have more income(can join GB) n know to use taobao, haha. as i said, im a stingy person. dowan buy, then not liking it, then regret. ill keep it simple for my 1st MKB n im liking front printed keycaps. ninja style bruce.gif lucky enuff to get 108 keys for 70 in forum. POM material.
Btw, im not sure bout those GMK, JTK, BLA BLA BLA diff, its just the name of the manufacturer is it? so there are companies producing keycaps and this pretty colourful, two-tone, tri-tone keycaps is from them? n profile is diff right? DCS, DSA, Cherry, OEM?

All in all, having MKB is much much much better than a normal KB. no matter what switch or brand u using.

Guys, I found a KB lying around from my old x86 computer from 25 years ago. Seems to be cherry switch. Going to test it next week if it still will work or not.

If there's an exact design like the Pok3r WITH the F-keys as well, is what I mean. I love the way the Pok3r looks, with the "floating" keys. Alas, it's a 60% KB, without the F-keys.
Lovely, no?[attachmentid=6311956]

WHYYYY. I dont know my finger would stuck while trying to type on it. I think it's the tactile bump.

Honestly nvr owned others, but i do feel much comfy on blues. Comparing to membranes i do type faster. Some typo due to my lack of typing skills.
Dislike browns coz i cant feel the tactile feedback. Rough hands maybe? This is just based on random exploration at shops.

No one using mx clear here?
