Are you sure you want the Minila Air? Non standard layout & keys. If you want bluetooth can try Anne Pro.

In your opinion, what lacks functionality in filco, that are present in other mkb within/below price point which you hope are included ?
Does the upgrade of rm150 extra compared to IKBC , justifies its overall experience ?
Where did you get to 'molest'  brows.gif  a leopold ?

No dip switch, no NKRO via USB, no programming, no media keys, etc. But then again, some people actually like the fact that they are bare bones as this. Different strokes for different folks.

You can try Ultimate Zone at Jaya One. Not sure if their Leopold still in stock though. You could try to contact them first. They always welcome browsers who just want to molest the different types of MKB available at their shop

Went there yesterday. They only have the FC900R & FC980C in stock now. FC900R, good solid board, their MX Reds felt smoother than the ones I have IMHO, could just be placebo. Tried the FC980C, typing on the electrostatic capacitive switch felt like typing on clouds or even boobs tongue.gif

QUOTE(irsyadfy @ Feb 2 2017, 10:46 AM)
ayam agree. Most of reviews i read online oso said like dat.

U can found many IKBC review online too.
+1. Last time visiting there, they even open few box just for me to try. mxpink is nyum nyum.

Many of the IKBC reviews I've found are in either Vietnamese or Chinese. Can google translate the page, but pening la nak baca. Yup, can confirm staff at Ultimatch friendly and will let you open boxes just to try.

Which board has the MX Pink? For me, I'm itching to try MX Blacks now. 45g is too light for me, and I'm starting to dislike the clicks of blues.

Ah, yes...Taobao. Forgot about that.

I guess if you searched for IKBC review then there'd be many more hits. In my case, I google IKBC G87 & C87 review. Most of them were not in English.

P.S: Typing this on a Poker II with browns. Ayam happy. smile.gif

Yea. I have been looking at mkb for a few yrs now. Didn't prioritise keyboard until 1yr ago when typing became a daily routine. Was planning to settle with a china board but would rather settle for a better mkb since it would (might) be my only keyboard investment.

Grats on your purchase. Why didn't you go for the Ninja? Regardless, I'm sure you'll enjoy your Filco. Can't say I'm not jealous. Nowadays, mention Filco and I just salivate drool.gif

To me the side printed Ninja keys looks much slicker. Well, to each his own I guess.

get PBT side printed keycaps instead, got mine from taobao before i sold off my filco ninja set.

here's the one with stock abs keycaps:

and here's the one with PBT keycaps that i purchased from taobao:

As u can see, ABS keycaps tend to get that 'shine' look n feels very plasticky. The PBT keycaps are way more durable and enhances the typing experience. once u go for PBT, u will never go back biggrin.gif
