[Recommend] Good Mechanical Keyboard

[ragnarok95]

Depends wor. Double shots is just preventive measures to make sure it doesnt fade that fast. It will still fade, but slower. However, if the users eat, drink while gaming, and have sweaty palms and oily fingers most of the time, it will be back to square one again lol.

The surface will just become smoother that's all.

Yup you are right. But because I used ninja as my example, therefore for regular ones, it will still fade as the surface is equally prone.

i tot ninja is front facing or no letters at all? so definitely wun fade?

Thanks! Hope I didn't make a mistake of purchasing reds over brown.

Went down to XS on sat, asked on the prices but no discount at all. The sales guys mentioned that Ducky are all fix prices. Went home to think about it and saw that Lazada is selling at $129 from XS too, with $12 coupon = $117

Don't worry too much about the switch, it is indeed all personal preference. I used to favor blue, then reds, then brown and all back to red again.

As far as I know, ducky prices are very much controlled and online discounts are usually absorbed by the platform e.g Lazada/Qoo10/amazon

Congrats on your hoot!

Buying a keyboard is nothing to do with the blings.

The more you have the more point of failures. Some reported led blown, if its one or two it is fine. If its a bunch then its fugly.

Filco is kinda boring Jane, but the PCB they fabricate inside it, the soldering, the implementations has been great so far. They are a Japan coy that does great keyboards, just that they are now made in Taiwan instead.

But then again, it is good implementations and has no software included. If you opened it up then you will know what is inside. Many don't appreciate it. Many just thinks that it is just a stupid keyboard that has nothing in it.

But many do not know that the lesser things you implement the lesser point of failures.

Apart from that, it doesn't need any form of software to run.

Heck, even their plastic housing is indeed tough, it is even much more tougher than any of their competitors out there using plastic.

Call Filco plain boring all you want, but it is the way how they design their keyboards, its how they build a keyboard to last, and how it felt like a tank when you carry it despite being plastic.

agreed on the LED part. My tesoro just had a stuck LED and i have to RMA the whole keyboard. Decided to dump it as i need a keyboard that serves me without me having to RMA due to just 1 LED failure

So got any brown switch KB with just volume control? No need rubbish like LED and macro keys. Just need volume control.

The logitech distro doesn't seem to distro the G610 brown. Only got blue, I think.

If you just need volume control, i dont think you need to do much.

Just use autohotkey program to bind any keys that you wish for volume up or down. No need a volume knob.

What i did was to bind fn key+pg up or down for volume control.

Please pardon my Noob question, why are keycaps so expensive? Are they difficult to make?

quite annoyed. because of VP's wrong stock-take, my coupon became invalid and my other item in the order became much more expensive. ugh.

anyone got a good cleaning guide? maybe after cleaning, my keyboard will stop chattering....

wish the vRz MO Forum is still active - would have loved to get the engraved PBT keycaps

certain keycaps are more expensive as they made from better materials and are more resistant to finger oil and also a slower rate of key engravings fading. therefore making it more expensive. however there are cheap ones as well.
I have a set of 104 of ABS keycaps that I got for around $10. but of course the build quality cannot be compared to those of the higher build quality ones.

And yes for me, the quality of the keycaps does affect the typing experience, its not only the key switches.

Wah brother, you also ah? 2015 I bought a cherry mx blue cooler master storm ultimate from pcthemes. Some keys not clicky. I went back to change keyboard. Same problem. I tried another 2 display sets but they all had the same issue. In the end I swapped for a mx brown instead.

Last year, I went to buy a mx blue vortex pok3r and was blown away by what blues should feel like if they are done properly. I think Cherry had some batch production fault or something.
