That pricing is more what I would want from China.
I keep seeing "Plucky" when I see that name. Like I "PLU Key" your "Ducky".
For $50 before agent fee/shipping is not too bad...
US or Singapore?
Unfortunately they were all sold out last week.
BTW, this keyboard is not NKRO.
The 104 looks interesting, but it's more money-- near Rosewill costs-- although I am liking the 'Media shift' in lieu of the menu key nobody ever uses. I wish it would go one step further to 'Macro Shift' (a few stock media keys plus programmable macros on the letters
Any source on this?
The review from the website i posted say it has.
I posted a thread: Whos vs HHKB round 2 weeks ago
U might find some info there
Im using iphone then might post the resource links later today
The QC of the keycaps looks kinda bad to me...
Some keys look sunken it like unicomp black keycaps
But if u can get it @ USD$50 after shipping from a MO, it will be worth the price.
I emailed Obook, got response, shipped to me in california with all taxes and fees, it is $92.75 USD via "EMS Shipping", $82.70 via "airmail" (paid through paypal).
According to Obook it "will be stocked in mid november"
Pretty good price IMHO, beats the crap outta elitekeyboards prices. Of course return policy / keyboard quality / NKRO / Chinese manual / No warrenty or support makes up for this difference.
Then again keycap quality may be better :)
That is the point
but POM is hard to handle
even Cherry can't make POM keycaps as good as PBT
Shrinking ?
Do you mean those round impressions on the keys ?? (e.g. bottom far left )
I thought PBT had a reputation of shrinking causing those "dimples". Haven't heard of it being an issue with POM.Show Image(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4138/4760476663_11520f9856_b.jpg)
To be fair, ripster did say "dimples" so I'm guessing that was what he most likely meant - those crater-like impressions on the blank black keys as compared to the POM keycaps (numbered keys)

Tried, the 6KRO works on these combination :
asd jkl, qwe iop,awd jil, awd ko; and more which i dont feel like trying all the possible combination tongue.gif
zxc doesnt works though, maybe kbc define 6KRO by the means of any random 6 keys, so it failed the test possibly due to the one i've mentioned.
And the 9KRO isnt random too. A mechanical keyboard at this price, you cant expect too much from it tongue.gif
their 87key is 399 rmb
open mine :( its tooo newwwwwwwwww

Since some reports stated(previous page) that 6kro and even nkro are malfunctioning on this board, I would stay away and look for something else if you plan on doing heavy gaming.
I was planning on using this board at work anyways so it ain't problem that the kro is not working as advertised. Still a sweet looking board!
Guess Doober and me are the only GHers riding the PLU Express.
Yup , and kidchunks I love mine!!!!
also, the white version isn't POM it is ABS supposedly
also I do heavy gaming lol i have played SC not SC2 since i was in 4th grade, and never had NKRO. I also play CS, CSS, TF2, and WoW.
-doober
lack of or malfunctioning NKRO is disappoint, but maybe some true Geekhacker can figure out a fix :)
edit: i ordered this kb chunks for that very reason to be the first to have it
Although technically possible to get something between 2KRO and 6KRO I've never seen it. I've only seen sloppy testers who give up too quickly.
Plus they must not teach Mininum and Maximum in Grade School in cities where OCN'rs live.
ripster is Right, but with this board it is only a few combos that fail.
For instance you cannot hold down more keys if both Shifts are held down. I play CSS and COD, and I used to manage just fine on my IBM model M.
also my PLU 87 passes a lot of the common fps combos, WASD cluster and ctrl, shift, 1-6. c, v, x, z.
i just have never noticed myself in a video game using more than 2-3 buttons at a time.
and with WoW it is usually some form of WASD and Shift and 1-6 it passes that too
if you want what is so far my favorite keyboard and White with cherry browns, then I would go for it.
also something neat, is that they replaced the right windows key with a key that disables the left windows key. it has this neat underglow effect when on.Show Image(http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/3103/sdc10445f.jpg)

Can anyone with this board test the arrow keys? I'm going to be so bummed if I can't hit all 4 at once... :(
also when using it via USB ?
3 key combos failing.. that would suck.. i sometimes have to press "W" + "A" + "CTRL" + "SHIFT" when gaming.. or "W" + "D" + "CTRL" :/

Apparently there's a new revision of ML-87 with NKRO hitting the stores soon, plenty of shops list this on TaoBao already.
Did someone ordered one already? I would like to see how good/bad looks the inside
PLU ML-87 with Topre?
Hate the logo, and I'm not a big fan of the case.
Quick question guys, I'm thinking about buying this keyboard off of qtwan and was wondering is this board is "Gmaing optimized" 2KRO or just straight 2KRO.
Does anybody know if the white PLU's have POM keys? Just got one from weipm, and I can't tell. He says their ABS, but they feel much, much different than any of my Filco keycaps.

A quick look inside. There is one screw under the small round fabrication month sticker. Then I used some old Sony sticks to keep the little clamps from falling back into place. Then I put the knife at the side to dislodge another clamp and i think i did the other side too before I could pull things apart.Show Image(http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/3794/totalp.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/718/totalp.jpg/)

Also is it easy to hit the mediakeys on this keyboard without looking?I don't know... I never use the media keys.
