Is Ducky DK2108S2 available locally?
I'm searching for Cherry MX Silent keyboards.

it's a full-sized ducky zero. the modifiers are not nice. it's better to get ducky one or above if you liked ducky only.

Just want to know, is this any better than a mechanical keyboard, or still feel stiffer than that.

I have tried CM Devastator II, the keys are not nice to press.

why dont u buy it and gives us review?

u do know the diff between mechanical and mechanical feel kibod right?

and devastator is not even mechanical feel iinm. its still a membrane kibod. hence the keys are not nice to press.

That is why I am asking here. It defeats the purpose if I am to buy it.

I am not in KL where i can or may test the keyboard easily.

well if u ask me, there is many other choice then razer.
but for a gamer "Razer is love, Razer is life"

and again if u ask me, it is still better to invest in a real mechanical kibod rather than mechanical feel kibod.

nah, just for u - http://bfy.tw/EQhF

it's still better to find a day, come to kl or anywhere with a good shop, and test them out first-hand.

regarding reviews about prebuilts, some are good and honest, but many are biased, especially when personal preference is involved. it's better for you to try them out first, then decide for yourself.

.. and this is also why eventually you will go for custom boards, because you will realize that almost nothing that can satisfy you the most (for prebuilts they will always miss something out for some reasons; very hard to get one that is perfect imo)

gosh...
i hope you don't mind that some people are very passionate about keyboards. blush.gif

i'm going to assume u know ornata is a memchanical switch from the start and thus wanting to know how does it compares to mechanical.

what sort of mechanical switch are you comparing with?
what are your preference for keyboard switches in general? tactile soft? tactile medium hardness but smooth? hard tactile but smooth? some clicky?
why would you choose membrane over mechanical? budget friendly? other factors?

actually i'm just interested to know why you are curious about Ornata lol!

there's a particular membrane keyboard that i still like until today, it's a Dell keyboard that comes with it's whole desktop LOL!!
i like it because it's quiet, soft and very tactile but smooth. BUT not all the keyboard of the same model feels the same, some a bit cacat and some hard and noisy.

Blues, and i like some clicky sound.

Well, the price and also it's RGB laugh.gif

I do know that memchanical sits between membrane and mechanical.

finally backup pcbs for gk64 and gateron switches are here. (also some cherry mx silent series) note that the pcbs come without stabilizers. just get them separately. they are plate-mounted type of cherry stabs, not pcb-mounted.

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


edit: tbh i think gk64 is a decent (and relatively, budget) board to play with. the convenience of pcb designs for CIY (change-it-yourself) switches (maybe LED later) really makes significant differences. it helps save a lot of time swapping or modding stuff, and for learning purposes. it has a plate-mount pcb design. the switches are held firmly without wobble by the plate, and sit flush properly. switches wise, most cherry mx style switches fit nicely.

before this, i'm really not clear why there are 3-pin or 5-pin switches, or the fact that there are variants in switches of the same color (non-led and led; for led variants, there are further smd-led compatible and non-compatible); or differences between plate-mounted and pcb-mounted cherry stabs; or differences between lubed and stock switches, and some other minor details. now all cleared.

it's time to think of something else to do lol

Hi all, I am looking for a set of 104 keys decent PBT keycaps for my filco, prefer OEM/Cherry profile.

Not on a high budget so somewhere around 150-300. Most group buys can easily go above RM500 and need to wait a long time sad.gif

I just want to replace the ABS keys to PBT, and color choice is black or black-grey combination. Anywhere I can buy similar? Was planning to get from taobao but afraid of the quality.

Or anyone has extra set to let go? Hehe

if you just need to replace them check out ultimate.zone, https://www.ultimate.zone/collections/vendors?q=Vortex

storeuni.com has ikbc double-shot pbt (pom for legends) for backlit boards, https://www.storeuni.com/collections/ikbc/p...-pbt-keycap-set

taobao have even more choices. yes if you get the wrong one (especially those thin pbt double-shot) then that's it. the above two are better than those.

Android Co-Founder: Keyboards Will Be Gone in 20 Years[B]

Within 20 years, computer keyboards will be relegated to the technology dustbin, says Android co-founder Rich Miner: he and others believe that the way humans communicate with machines is undergoing a fundamental change. The keyboard -- which dates back to the 1800s -- will be phased out over the next couple of decades, except for some "legacy applications," Miner argues. Touchscreens have already kicked off this shift.

QUOTE
The key methods will include voice recognition; "digital ink" (think stylus pens that enable you to write and draw on screens); and the ability for computers to understand facial expressions and gestures. These technologies already exist but are far from perfect. Miner believes they’ll continue to get better. Some example capabilities he mentions include holding up a hand to pause a video; software that digitizes and transcribes handwritten notes, even if the handwriting is so sloppy the writer can’t make out the words; and software that recognizes, from a person’s facial expression, that her or she is frustrated with an app—and responds accordingly.

well with smartphones you have haptic feedback. so unless that technology improves enough to provide as good an accuracy, and typing we've come to appreciate on a mkb, then i don't think keyboards will be going away.

even rubberdome keyboards will still be around if only due to being cheap.



only way mkb will be dead is once minotiry report level of tech finally becomes a thing hmm.gif

technologies come and go; just like floppy disks, dial-up modems, cassettes tapes and players, and a lot more that were once common in our lives. so we just enjoy the companion of them while they still last lol

as input device, keyboards in general have come a long way. there will be a day it will gradually get replaced by more efficient alternatives in future. (like voice; maybe by that time we can write software codes with hokkien lol)

it should be a decent board. the cons mainly involve customization and repairs. (e.g. availability of parts)

for instance, you will not be able to play with nicer and good-quality key cap sets, or a rich diversity of switches. (imo mixed switches are good for typing, if you paired the right ones)
