I have used black and red. The stiffer feels on black is kinda nice for me during gaming. Coz i like to "pound" on my keys.

But typing wise, its heavy n tiring.

I miss my black kibod.

tecware phantom rgb with outemu brown switches. a forumer mechaus sell them if im not mistaken.

i was browsing taobao and come across this store

taobao store link

they sell SA Dasher, SA 1965, GMK nautilus and was wondering if they are the real deal or just knockoff?

it looks like real deals. personally i haven't tried this shop yet, so i have no idea.

Just wondering how big is the resale market for keycaps here.. I am so tempted to get the DSA Ice Cream on Massdrop. But am very worried that I cannot get used to the DSA profile and would like to sell it out later, but am unsure about how possible it is to sell out later.

you have higher chance to sell the set elsewhere imo. you should try mymkb fb page, reddit, geekhack, etc.

you should also try out the profile with cheaper options first.

ended up with ducky one tkl red. it does feel lighter, and it's sort of giving me the 'cheap' feeling when typing on it. i've had several misfires already but ill prolly get used to it heh

heh just realized it's you

guys, are there any local sellers that sell those transparent keycaps for maximum RGB effect?

Hi

Hmm where will you suggest that I'll be able to find some cheaper DSA profile keycaps? Taobao, aliexpress etc?

ok. not sure how red switches gave you a 'cheap' typing feel, but i guess it might be just the transition

you should go look for these caps at taobao/aliexpress

yes taobao/aliexpress have cheaper dsa caps.

edit: dsa profile caps to me are too flat. looks nice, but need adjustments to regain speed.

sigh despite your advices and my rationale, i went ahead and ordered it anyway........

i deemed it too attractive to pass

byebye money. excuse me while i mourn over my loss.

uh? it's all good haha as long as you like it

Prolly cause id associate weight with build quality and them being lighter to the press compared to my black keycaps

But yea ill get used to it over time. I somewhat felt that this keyboard is also less noisy when typing than when I was using my QFR mx black

yeah i suspect so

even with the same switch, each manufacturer produces boards that have different typing noise and feels. stock red and black are supposed to sound similar. the difference is just stiffness.

Utterly bullshit review
What omron did this time is introduce the linear switch romer-G, the previous only tactile.

Back to their history, their first generation blue case tactile is feel like membrane.
After POWER users feedback, they revamped the switch to remove rubber bump, and second generation black case switch feel more like a mechanical switch.
I tried the second generation, it feels like short travel Brown switch.
So what's wrong with Romer-G at this point? The switch will actuate at the very short press, which emphasise what gaming need, 25% faster.
However, the full travel is just 3.2mm, you don't feel it's good end press. Like you press nicely, suddenly potong stim. <-- (They should improve it to 3.8-4.0mm.)

Now, linear version released (first generation linear), just a simple tweak from second generation, reduce the weak bump to scratchy.
Well, I think it's great improvement. Romer-G should be in linear, so less potong stim.

Most importantly, it's no where near to Cherry MX feel. What I feel is, this switch is only viable to Gamers, but not typist.

Note: for tactile switch bump clarity; Kailh Box Brown > Cherry MX Brown > Gateron Brown > Omron Romer-G Tactile

thanks Moogle. it's a nice read. it's written by 'a huge fan of romer-g switches'. the author went on and said that romer-g's tactile switches feel 'almost exactly the same' as the new linear variant.

.. i stopped reading after that, because i was not sure if he wanted to point out that tactile romer-g is actually just scratchy linear, or something else.

i believe that romer-g linear is a good option for gaming boards. in fact they should forget about tactile and went straight to linear from the start. however they should stop screwing around with reviews like this one.

later i will try to make a gk64 with costar stabs.



changing caps for mods are back to the time-consuming part compared to cherry style stabs lol!

like i said, gk64 is a nice pcb that helps me learn a lot more than what i need to learn hehe

60% has a relatively good ecosystem for anyone who are interested in a rich set of parts, from switches, up to cases, plates, stabs, modifications, etc. best of all, it's a fully functional keyboard. it's now a mock-up board for me to build permanent customs.
