but... but... mechanical keyboards are for the novelty caps? No?

My whole life is a lie shocking.gif shocking.gif





On a real side note: bro, in your siggy you mentioned you gave your realforce away, do you mean the caps or the whole board itself? innocent.gif

Magicforce with Gaterons are exclusive to Massdrop (I just asked them last month).

Your options are:
1) We all know China sh*t can't stay exclusive for long. It will surely leak out somewhere soon. I think Aliexpress sold a small batch with Gaterons recently.
2) Magicforce sells the case & PCB separately. I think it's around 200 rmb. You can buy that and install your own Gaterons.

Magicforce is China one?

How about Varmilo?

Edit:
The new Blackwidow X TE Chroma seems to have a standard bottom row now  shocking.gif

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

It's also mentioned somewhere that the new Blackwidow X TE (non-chroma version) will have a standard bottom row AND Cherry MX Blue option for only US$60. If this is true, I'm definitely buying one to try.

only the Tournament Edition (TKL) is having standard bottom row?

This is damn funny.

Razer thinks their green switches are worth more money than Cherry MX Blues.

doh.gif
*
I think maybe is because of the effort they put in when "designing" their proprietary razer green switches.... laugh.gif

guys,

i narrow down my selection of MKB to
1. Ducky One (Cherry MX Switch) - RM399
2. Poseidon Z (Kailh Switch) - RM329

can advise on this?
*
Ducky, no explanation needed if its opponent is Poseidon Z unless budget is a concern here.

QUOTE(dadudeneverabides @ Mar 26 2016, 09:20 PM)
Let me make it easy for you. Cherry switches > Kailh switches.

then i think it is not worth to import mkb from amazon.jp either the "normal" way - will kena GST and import duty, or the proxy way - because the proxy fees + shipping twice would almost equal to the one via the normal way....

USPS uses the local national carrier when possible because they usually have a partnership with them.

Cool. If I got all types of switches that I want I might get keyboards like these. There is a keyboard I seen that is tenkeyless, but you can still use the numpad with fn keys, the ten keys are mixed with the alphabet keys or something. I even saw a topre keyboard that doesn't have F1~F12.

I see.. I am not really into modding nor led lights though. Somehow I feel like I'm in the wrong section  laugh.gif
*
can give pic to see that board?? I never seen one like that hmm.gif



the topre board that you saw that odesnt have F1-F12 is probably either Leopold FC660C or PFU HHKB laugh.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.
*
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

Depends on your keyboard i think?
If I recall correctly, I was able to remove the stabs from my shine 2 by desoldering the switch that is sitting in between the stabs only, not the whole board.

Maybe KuzumiTaiga can help us verify when he mod his biggrin.gif

QUOTE(KuzumiTaiga @ Apr 1 2016, 05:07 PM)
mine is not a shine 2, but I doubt i'd need to desolder the whole board.  hmm.gif

hmm... like that? I thought plate-mounted boards have to remove all switches first before can remove the stabs...

but because I never opened a board before, guess I cant be so sure of it doh.gif

now waiting sifus' clarification notworthy.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.

hahaha.... dont worry, as you venture deeper into the mechanical keyboard money pit, you will realize.... when everything is too late cool2.gif
