Title: BenQ Kx900 and 890
Post by: Lmnr on Fri, 19 July 2013, 10:18:48

Keycaps look pretty unique, but I fear quality wise it might lack.
Has anyone tried or heard of this keyboard? I've heard of the 890 but this model seems a bit better.
I've heard some stuff about the flashget 600 but Ultimately its a Chinese board that has cheap parts, I was hoping it wouldn't be the case for this one though.

Right in the product ID... it's a PLU that's been rebranded for BenQ

Not sure you'd want them as that's just a paint/plastic coating over translucent caps so the backlight shows.  They'll likely wear out pretty quick.  That particular color I've never seen before since most do black, I think there's been 1 backlit w/ white caps.  Ducky has done some WASD with a variety of colors, but I don't think full sets.

Yea, I figured, I was going to say if they had the effects from the ducky shine 3 (breathe) with those  caps it would look a lot nicer but I can't deal with that type of texture seeing as the k90 came with pretty bad ones I had to swap them out.
