Since domes are the main mechanism that gives electro-capacitive switches tactility and ability to rebound, you can try find 45g or 55g dome sheets from taobao when you purchase the plum. I see a lot people on reddit mod their plums for heavier domes.

My ducky one tkl comes with plastic cover, so minimal cleaning is required. Will use camera lens hand pump to blow away dust

just grab it if you liked it. it's the same model no matter where you get it, unless you're looking for different switches, and you want warranty. (as stated in the page, there is no warranty covered)

Thank you, just curious why every seller sell all the same products
I was searching for easiest and cheapest way to buy these since i live in the east usually cost more for shipping. so wondering where everyone buys their kb
I was looking for either blue or brown switches but since there is no option..i'll just go with what they have..but never tried browns before

also got a lot of poison while browsing taobao for keycaps

welcome friend from the east smile.gif

er i think it's the same like other items. everyone is selling the same thing in general. the thing that matters to you (and only you, because you're the one who use it lol) might be your mods on the same model later on.

actually afaik here we have two better choices only: storeuni.com and ultimate.zone. (lazada might be a good place to source for cheap boards, but just read their warranty policies; ask the seller if necessary) if you don't mind used boards, there are lyn garage sales, and malaysia mech market fb group. if it's outside the country, yes, there are a lot more places.

btw, storeuni.com does give you options (at least a better selection of switches).

Just an example of a skeuomorphism ( a concept first invented by archaeologist Henry March in 1890. There are more definitions than you can count, but broadly it refers to the aspects of an object’s design that no longer have a function)


QUOTE
The most famous case is the keyboards of modern computers. The QWERTY layout, the name of which comes from the first six letters on the upper left-hand row, was created by newspaper editor Christopher Latham Sholes in the early 1870s. According to urban legend, the design was intended to make typing slow and awkward. In reality, it made his writers even quicker.

At the time typewriters had a major flaw: if you pressed down on two neighbouring characters in quick succession, the whole thing would jam. To overcome this he designed a keyboard where the letters that often follow each other in a sentence, such as “ST”, were placed further apart.

Eventually this layout was copied onto other technologies. There’s no longer any mechanical need for it and others such as Dvorak, a simplified keyboard invented by educational psychologist August Dvorak in 1936, require less finger movement and boost typing speed. Yet QWERTY has stuck because that’s what we all learned on.

so unfortunately something outdated like QWERTY is still in use regardless of more logically thought out layouts better suited for the job.

But it takes time to learn a new layout, ontop of having to worry whether a game or app supports it, and as gamers the WASD is quite important as well rclxub.gif but qwerty isn't going away anytime soon.

So using that as a basis i doubt that some of these outdated skeuomorphisms will necessarily be dying off anytime soon, especially if we are already habitually hooked into their usage.

I did try dvorak out of curiosity but quickly reverted back to QWERTY after a while.

i just stick to qwerty layout because i have used it since the first day of using a computer.

in fact, as long as everything in the market is still based on the dominant qwerty layout, noone will be able to change it.

edit: i have tried dvorak layout too. it's really hard to adapt when you have built all the muscle memories up for qwerty layout for years. i found myself busy correcting typing errors rather than to be more productive.

superior or not, well, it really depends.

maybe not too attractive because it has incompatible stems for keycap replacements. if you're into this, you can try it out and share with us the user experience smile.gif

--

i have tried out the new gateron silent black. to me it's just slightly quieter than normal gat black. (both stock)

imo cherry's implementation of silencing stems are relatively better.

aha! now i'm almost certain that it's the firmware. (i thought i was the only one who faced this; noone seemed to report this) i have similar problems from time to time, but not that frequent.

better rma again, and better ask them don't apply the latest firmware update. (or come up with another firmware update)

note that if you put you hand under the board, where the controller is (which is around arrow keys) you will feel that place is relatively warm after some use.

edit: you can try out unplug the board from pc, press and hold fn + right alt and plug the board in to pc. also, press fn + e for 3-5 seconds, and fn + r for 3-5 seconds, source: http://community.coolermaster.com/topic/16...&comment=129604; somehow with the combo, my board returned to stock firmware version, 1.0.1, not the latest 1.2.1.
