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.

Haha yes. However I don't feel it's fault with corsair or any other brands, or that blues require time to set in. Every clicky (blue or razer green) keyboard I bought all had at least 1 key with this issue. Gave it all up and luckily preference is also with reds now Yeah if done nicely, blues feels the best to type on

wah seh sian, my ducky still very solid tho but rgb patterns not so much la.

i like corsair's build design overall. Hmm thanks shall see how

RGB must be software controlled for the maximum configurability and beauty. Strafe build quality is not so good though.

Does anyone know if there's still a distributor for Topre in Singapore? I remembered last time was Hydra or something...

If there's really none here I will just import, wanna try something other than cherry, kailh and what not. Tired of soldering switches caused by chattering issues

What's so good about topre?

Well there is the Cooler Master Novatouch. I not sure if local sell Realforce or Happy Hacking Keyboard (HHKB)

What's so good about topre?

Well its definitely an acquired taste. A lot of people seem to love topre for typing. When you press a key, it bounces back up instantly. Kinda like a magnet like feeling. Some people like its "fast" speed compared to other cherry switches. Its half mechanical half hybrid making it harder to construct thats why its priced at a premium*.

Maybe because I'm a heavy typer, I personally prefer the MX clears for typing.


*IDK its just my opinion

Been using my new red switch ducky one today, my God, I'm hitting so many typos. My words per minutes dropped from 65 to 30 Hahaha, hope I'll get use to it soon. Finding it really easy to accidentally hitting another cap when I type.

My WPM on red is almost half of blue/brown

And that's over 2 years of reds thus far.

There's only Xtremesolution who brings them in. Leopold and realforce can be tested but the HHKBs are sealed so you won't be able to audition before buying.

Good luck and prepare at least $300.

There's a new Razer blackwidow v2, with new yellow key caps (linear and silent), plus wrist rest like the ornata. Any views on it?
