Post by: arkazar on Sat, 06 April 2013, 14:17:03
 Hello my friends :D

My name is Vitor and i am portuguese.
i always loved the feeling and sound mechanical keyboard but never had money to one.
But, recently i bought one. its not fancy or the most top-notch one but i love it.
It's an Tt eSports Meka with black cherry's.
It's compact especially developed to gaming. :D

After seen some of your's keyboard's i just decided i need an mod on mine. :))

See you soon

Vitor F.

Hey!  Welcome to geekhack.org.

I found a pic of your TT esport's meka:

(http://aphnetworks.com/review/tt_esports_meka_g1/0103.jpg)

looks like a nice mechanical keyboard.  And you have USB and headphone pass-through jacks on the keyboard, which is nice.

But the price is not low.  It looks like they sell for around $100 (USD).  I think you can find a lot of really nice mechanical keyboards around that price, and less.

Maybe it's time to get a TKL?  TKL size is much better for gaming than full size.

I would think about getting a second keyboard with different Cherry switches, before I would get a second set of keycaps for your current board.

costed me 50euros (64dollars), which i think its not so bad, considering the prices of this kind of equipment in my country.

cheers

Hey, well that Meka looks even nicer than the full-size one I posted.  Good job on the price too.  I guess you can start looking for a replacement set of keycaps for it, but I don't know what kind of space bar you have right now.  It looks like it's 7.0x or bigger.  Also those 1.0x ALT keys are going to be hard to match.  And you need number pad keys with a big "0".  So really, I guess you need somebody who knows more about those Tt keyboards than I do, to give you some advice on what replacement sets will work for you.

hi,

i was thinking on this one or steelseries 7g which have PT keyboard layout, but, was around 120euros (160dollars) :eek:

for start with mechanical keyboards i think i made an optimal choice..

further  i would like to have am das keyboard or filco... for filco i have an advantage because dont need to pay import tax and the shipping fee is alot lower since im in europe.

the keys i want to replace are the Red Cherry MX Laser Etched Keycaps 37 Set Keyboard Key Caps, from WASD Keyboards.


cheers
