Title: FlashGet G600 Keyboard
Post by: Aliwia on Wed, 11 September 2013, 01:32:05

LinusTechTips did a video on the keyboard.
It seems weird that it doesnt require a keypuller, do any other keyboards act like this?

I can tell you that the black keycaps are very snug but the reds you can pull off more easily. But not so much that they will fall off or any thing

Also since there us no case meaning the plate is the top it is much easier to grab a key cap

I can pull lots of keycaps off with my fingers - depends on how tightly they fit and how much space there is around the keycap to get a good grip.

hmm, it looks really intriguing....

scroll down to the detailed pictures guys, those switches do look PCB mounted to me, am i right? if so, one could replace them with other types, right? :)

further on, caps are ABS with print, so likely crap. i do like the case however. what i'm afraid of, is this declared full NKRO, which might mean some jerky controller of the likes of noppoo choc mini (which claims full NKRO over usb, but people report problems about it not working in the BIOS, as an example)

i just might order this, if someone can deny/confirm that the switches can be swapped on this without soldering.

green axis? would this mean they offer it with green switches? o.O

No. It is just bad machine translation. The word for blue switches in Chinese means both green and blue.

There are several brand names offering the exact model Flashget, LBOTS, there are some others I can't recall, I have seen it available in one brand or another in red, black, blue, brown with various keycaps including some that are translucent and various case body colors and finishes. The switches are plate mounted technically as the casebody is the plate.

Agree with this statement.
