For all USB Deck products there is a limit of 6 keys + modifier keys (shifts and alts) that can be pressed at any given time and still registered by your computer. This is limited by the USB specification. All Deck Legend PS2 products have full n-key rollover meaning you can press as many keys at the same time as you want and they should all register to your computer without "ghosting" as some call it.

Hmm deck keyboards are 6key rollover, just wonder if this was since it was made by the same parent company.

Easiest way to tell would be to read a review (or look at pictures) and check for diodes.

received it today, feels like a solid board and leds are pretty nice, although the rubber membrane that should play as a liquid protection spillage ask lil bit more force from the black switches and the very light tactile feel that we get from black switches is almost non existents cause of the protective guard. Offcourse its an easy fix to peeps dont like this just remove keys unscrew the screws, open the board and remove the membrane :smile:

Errr black switches definately do not have a "light tactile feel"
They are the "heaviest" of the cherry switches and are linear..

Bought one of the ones yjhuoh was selling, pretty excited to receive it.

They don't put diodes on their non-gaming boards.

FYI, that guard nearly doubles the activation force.

Not if you want to run them all at their max-rated 100mW. With proper resistors, you should be able to do it a bit dimmer, though.

See, if the board "had" red LED's on it, and you put in those aqua ones, the forward voltage drop is very different, so you may have to adjust the resistance of the current limiting resistors, and also keep it low power enough so that your USB or PS2 port can power it. Those aqua ones are 3.6V!

The stock Led's are rated at 5V and the ones you have in the link require less Volts, so I guess it shouldnt be a problem. Although best would be to call up TG3 and give them all the specs from the Led's and they will tell you for sure if its ok.

BTW why would you go with different LED's? the TG3 leds are superb in brightness and they have plenty of levels of brightness,the highest level of brightness is really bright, and the one thing TG3 LED's have that money cant beat is that they are rated for 20 YEARS !!!! of constant use!!!! if color is not what you want I'm sure Tg3 sells leds in different colors rated same as the red ones or they can tell you where you can buy them elsewhere if you dont want to go trought them.

I dont like red, and this is my experiment board since its the cheapest backlit mechanical keyboard that can be bought also most LEDs have a shelf life that long.

That is the retail price, but Ive seen that board sell many times for <100, I missed my chances to snag one from other members when they sold theirs for 30-40.

I think I will order my self clear case since there is no transfluecent red case available at Deck online store.... Also will remove the rubber gurad so that black switches will feel more natural.

I would get one too but shipping costs as much as the case itself. Too expensive... :(

lol the splash guard is like...literally a thin sheet of plastic, almost like saran wrap, that they just squeezed the keycaps on top of.  It's held on the sides by hooking it onto one of the pointy solder points on the back of the PCB....

Got rid of that crap right away, and tossed it into the garbage :)

That looks really cool.

I wonder why shipping from Deck is so expensive.  UPS is aggravating in general.  Whenever I order anything 3-day shipping to the east coast, it seems like it gets trapped in Hodgkins, IL for 2 days.

Hmm, the splash guard isn't all that bad.  It is like a landing pad or o-ring.  I think I will just keep it.  It only gets "stiff" at the start of the activation.  I guess it makes the blacks feel a lot like rubber domes with out any tactile feeling.  The back lighting is very awesome. :X.
Concerning NKRO, can handle 6 but fails some combos.  I tested this on aqua key test.  AMAZING DEAL!  This is making it very tempting to get another one now...
