Hi poooooo,

Always bottom out. What switch you using? Proper question for me would be if I will stop bottoming out one day

Hi dawntime kor kor, im using brown.
Typing seem easy, but gaming hard, especially the wasd , ill just bottom out those directional keys.

Brown very hard to not bottom out, try using clears, or blue/green if you really don't want to bottom out.

I used MX blue, brown and red, and razer greens.
They all feel good and shine in different lights.
The only key I don't bottom out is black... when SS 7G was the 'in' thing, tried, stressing on my fingers... anyway I have no issues gaming leh.. however when double or even triple tapping, I feel more resistance from let's say blue switch. Typing no kick wor... just that I bottom out to the point I always hear clack clack clack when typing
During gaming is actuate can Liao... actually never notice ba

Thanks to an earlier poster, I bought a magicforce myself, I think it's a great looking mech keyboard! Magicforce ftw!

Add some O-rings. Your fingers will thank you.

I'm thinking about getting the ZhuQue as well. How is the build quality?

i quite like it, works great with all plate mounted switches. i recently got one with black switches and keycaps (black keycaps seem to be cheaper for some reason). and switched out the alphas and modifiers to a mix of black, brown and zelios. SHIOK...

there is also a barebones option, but for not much more you get a proper working kb, so i think more worth it.

 

[dawntime]

Wa the keyboard is damn appealing to the eye

@poooooo, I'm using brown on strafe RGB. How bout your keyboard?

That is what I was thinking. I have 114 Gateron Browns from Massdrop (after using 6 to fix my BlackWidow Ultimate Stealth) and am eyeing some front-lettered keycaps. With the barebones option, works out to about S$120 all-in but it's just another S$20 for a full KB so would probably go that route.

 

[zephyr11]

^^^^^^^^


might be the best option for you then. front printed keycaps pbt keycaps should run you about $50, thereabouts I think.

but I still recommend that you get a one of their full kb, with switches. maybe a heavier one so you can mix and match your switches on the board. hahaha, but that's just me.

finally got my zhuque. got a shock when i carried it.

swapped the alphabet keys with cherry browns. numbers,ctrl,alt, del and arrows are gateron blue. the rest is the default red.

the default red does feels mushy as zephyr has mentioned

when switching the switches do you need to re-solder them?

nope. just make sure you buy the right type of switches (rgb plate based) then its just plug out and plug in.

The ducky zero is good for its $99 price. But the LED ver isnt. My LED died after a few months of usage and i had only set it to breathing.

Cool. Other than the zhuque do you know any similar TKL keyboards that allows for replacing of switches?

You can go try it at xtreme-solutions in SLS, they come with cherry mx switches.
Personally I dislike the feeling of their stock keycaps, but they had a ducky shine 3 with vortex keycaps in their display near the glass window and it felt heavenly.

 

[lunarsong]

Ducky shine 2, used for 2 years and still going strong.
