QUOTE(hareezsyahmi @ May 26 2016, 10:02 AM) there's nothing much to modify the blue switch except for changing springs to your preference, or at least that's what i know for blue switch...i didn't modify my blue switch as i think it's perfect for me already. get tactile or linear switch keyboard n lube them This post has been edited by justnits: May 26 2016, 11:21 AM |

Posted about this keyboard a while back. It has started its own kickstarter now. The analog "mechanical" keyboard, wooting one. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wootin...precise-movemen

QUOTE(big1 @ May 26 2016, 09:07 PM) how many keyboard do you guys have? should i get 2 set? 1 set brown, 1 set blue. The first switch I bought was a red one. Then I tried with blue, brown and now finally black. The blue is just too noisy for me. Then the brown is a little bit in the middle but I'm not getting the feels for the tactile bump. Next is the black. It was okay at first. Good feel to it as it's basically a heavier red... but then I started to feel a bit fatigue with my left ring and pinky finger (shift and ctrl presses). In the end, I went back to red as my daily driver. is k70 blue switch good for gaming? its clicky but i am not sure how good it is after playing for a few hours. going to shop pressing a few times cannot tell me much I'm waiting for my Royal Kludge Topre clone now. Will see if this is able to replace my reds or not. |

Just bought a Razer Blackwidow Chroma Tournament Edition and only then I found out about the negative feedback on Razer's build quality. Should I be worried about it? Bought it on impulse because of Gemfive discount coupon

I have the following mechanical keyboards:
1. Ducky Shine Zero (Full size and brown-switches) for Malaysian PC 2. Filco Majestouch (Full size and brown-switches) for dad's PC 3. Ducky Shine something (Full size and brown-switches) for home workstation 4. Coolermaster Quickfire Pro (Full size and brown-switches) for home entertainment system 5. Topre Realforce (Full size) for office setup Previously, I also owned a Filco Majestouch (Full size and red-switches) for gaming but decided to go with the brown switches version. |

If your keyboard is fine within first 14 days, then it'll be fine I guess... Since most manufacture defect item will be obvious for the first week for me. Bought a non-sealed Ducky Shine 3 from a forum member before this, like around 5-7 LEDs dead in less than 7 days. |

Anyone have experience with Royal Kludge's RC930-87 here? I just got my board and been trying it out since the morning. Ran into some issues with it. Once a while I will have the board sort of froze on me. I mean the back-lighting is lit. I can still toggle it on or off. Somehow, I cannot type or register any other keys.
and one of the LED is faulty. the colour seems off... |

From this guy/girl:https://world.tmall.com/item/43367765788.ht...0714.0.0.rxbR1J Anyway, I found out the culprit. It's the USB extension cable I'm using. Maybe it's the extra voltage needed to power the keyboard. As long as I do not fiddle with the LED brightness or LED cycle, it will work fine. Anyway, now I'm plugging it straight to my laptop and it's working like a charm. So, from my short use since this morning, I can safely say this is so going to replace my red switch! Never tried Topre or the Novatouch before but the sound made by this thing... thok thok thok... |

Never tried Topre or the Novatouch before but the sound made by this thing... thok thok thok... I just got mine and I'm unimpressed to say the least.The quality of the moulded plastic case is shoddy (worse than many membrane kbs), the sliders are scratchy on both the upstroke & downstroke (I would go as far as to say they are unusable without lubrication), the RGB modes are bleh, and 3 of my keycaps have HOLES in them! ![]() These are just a few of my grievances. I could go on and on, but at the end of the day the RK930 is definitely NOT an accurate reflection of what Topre is supposed to feel like. Rather, it is a cheap bastardized version of the Topre experience mainly because of these factors: 1) Scratchy action 2) Factory dental bands 3) Length of sliders adjusted to compensate for said dental bands (this affects the key travel distance, more so if you choose to remove the dental bands) 4) Questionable dome weighting (55g RC930 feels lighter than 55g Topre) No way will this board make it as part of my rotation, let alone become my daily driver. To anybody that wants to own Topre but can't yet afford one: Save your money. This is not a shortcut answer. I am surprised this board got a good review on Massdrop, now I know why Geekhack people always complain that Massdrop people are noobs. If you have not tried a proper Topre (or at least a Novatouch) before, you now have a dilemma - choose to be ignorant and not try it just so you'll be oblivious to how bad the RK930 is in comparison - or try it and you might end up throwing your RK930 away.
