QUOTE(noobandroid @ Oct 29 2017, 10:57 PM) guys, i have a masterkeys S pro RGB, that crashes itself at random times, RMA once laready, came back the board also like that, i unplugged all my other devices already but it is still happening I feel like masterkeys series QC isn't great. could it be my RGB mouse interfering? lol oh and btw the firmware on the kb was updated and it happened, and IT CANNOT BE UNDONE, so i dunno also if the firmware made it go crazy My masterkeys pro L white had some LEDs not being able to turn off when I received. After some time it went back ok. And I didn't switch on the led often. Now almost 1 year, got few LEDs still showing dim light after I turn off the LEDs. Lately 1 key LEDs won't light up. Something wrong with PCB? @@ |

QUOTE(horns @ Nov 1 2017, 01:45 AM) yeah, but then while the click is very nice sounding, the tactile feel is rather weak. Novelkeys has BOX Navy which has heavier spring with thicker click bar, but I really hope someday Kailh can implement that thicker click bar into their BOX white with stock spring weight. But then again, it seems unlikely... |

QUOTE(ZeneticX @ Nov 4 2017, 12:51 PM) thanks, will check them out you can check out the garage sales section here, or mkb fb page. maybe there are on-going good deals. if anyone wanted to sell their mech kbs can pm me as well. personally prefer brown / red switch iKBC and filco are better because they are seriously durable. (personal experience; e.g. some of my filco tkl are also used items; one of them i don't know how many hands already; its age is few years old; it's still better than many new boards today) |

I talked to CM, and heard the firmware can be flash to the default if the latest firmware not compatible with some computers. I'm still digging more info for it. |

I'm still digging more info for it. oh it has a fail-safe. hopefully you can find out more about this and share with us. |
