Are you sure you are not reading stuff into this? "80%" is also the name for "tenkeyless" in Chinese keyboard lingua. Just seems like an odd coincidence and a stupid thing to do if they are reffering to the amount of brown switches/black switches in percentages.

runeazn · « **Reply #52 on:** Wed, 24 November 2010, 11:20:12 »

this is the keyboard i found.
but he wants a 1087 version of that.

the think the ones with azn in their name would pretty much have a calculator at all times.

That's also because at some point I turned around copied some of his format. Friendly competition and dialogue results in greater keyboard knowledge. Too bad OCN Mods don't know that.

Ah, I just wish we got the traffic OCN does. That Guide will hit 1M views soon!

i don't think so, it will, but is going to be long long way to go. look at GH keyboard section, >50 people viewing the thread. everyday.. compare to OCN keyboard section?right now 25 (5 members & 20 guests).
even after midnight, GH keyboard section have at least more then >25 people are viewing

i found that, after OCN open Keyboard as a sub thread and the missing of lmnop[wonder where she gone], OCN mech kb guide are getting very inactive.
and GH is getting better and better.
i like OCN, but when comes to mech kb, i really like GH a lot better then OCN,
you get better and faster respond when you create a thread for help over here.
So...overall, soon or later, GH will reach 1mil views pretty easily IMO.

But the blacks in WASD is just wacky.

NO, to me it makes PERFECT sense ...
Reds would be even better but reds don't seem to exist (officially?)

No - Taiwan is pretty democratic these days. See the "Keyboards Sorted" wiki under Taiwan for a G80-3494 buying link. PChome.tw seems legit.

not sure what u mean.
what u want to compare?
cherry mx brown works on space bar too.
60g force on black switches 45 on brown switches.
brown provide tactile feedback, black no?

Moogle Stiltzkin · « **Reply #68 on:** Sat, 27 November 2010, 03:30:09 »

well i read before people were opinionated that blacks are the worse switch for spacebar.

clears the best.

So hows a brown switch rated for a spacebar

we will soon know since i bought a ducky full brown

and for the haters that don't believe me ill take a snap, just wait a bit.
and yeah on the picture the third column it says i ordered other keyboard and those Chinese letters means order cancelled, the seller denied my bid on the keyboard :/
the first one is the one i jsut bought, and it says seller waiting for details
don't believe me it says order cancelled get a other person that can read Chinese :/

Soarer · « **Reply #70 on:** Sat, 27 November 2010, 08:26:23 »

I like to use a black spring with brown stem for the spacebar switch, on a board with browns. It's much lighter than either of the grey switches, and a bit lighter and smoother than a clear.

Lanx · « **Reply #71 on:** Sat, 27 November 2010, 09:28:04 »

brown switch on space bar doesn't feel as "snappy" i'd opt for a stronger spring. (if you hate the brown switch on space bar, get a black spring and swap it, imo)

well i personally think that black switches better on space bar, because i always bottoming up those big keys easily, with black switches, u require more force to bottoming up the keys, which will help to prevent from bottoming up the when hitting those big keys like spacebar.
reduce the noise generated from overall typing too.

i should clarify this is using cherry stabilizers, which i believe are more stable and require some oomph as compared to just tabs the filco's use (and prolly the duckys too?). basically the thin metal bar.

your based in mala? i guess find a place where you can order a black cherry switch (or a couple) and just do a spring swap, make a tool that can open up the cherry switch and just replace the spring.
if based in the us, can use mouser.com they're pretty awesome.

Thanks for the link!
I was looking for a site that sold switches. Leopold has sets but were a little pricey and didn't sell singles.

thanks i just visited mouser.com and they seem to be also here in Netherlands

so if i want to switch i can just buy a switch from them

and they are cheap
1: € 0,675

Lanx · « **Reply #87 on:** Sun, 28 November 2010, 10:42:22 »

if your going that route, you might as well buy a few more blacks so you can play around with your board/ make ghetto cherry reds and stuff. (shipping i think is standard rate)

runeazn · « **Reply #88 on:** Sun, 28 November 2010, 10:53:53 »

how do you make ghetto cherry red?
http://www.mouser.com
and that company is also located in the Netherlands so shipping is no prob

Lanx · « **Reply #89 on:** Sun, 28 November 2010, 11:02:54 »

threw together a quick mod for you guys
http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:13046&redirect=no
blue to brown or then brown to ghetto red.

ordered on the 27/11 and expected to arrrive 17/12
canceled order :/
they bull****ted me with saying order will arive in 3-5 days :/

don't buy from taobao :/
they all have backorder this happend twice God dammit

they always, atleast all times i tried to buy, they say on the telephone, oh yes sir we are waiting for the order you made, we ordered it for you :/

so yeah
i order
they order from other company?(maybe directly ducky??)
they received order
they ship :/

so this is stupid..

my mom is 8/12 already back so i can't get once again a ducky keyboard

well they may have it on Monday next week 10% :/

let's hope otherwise i am doomed to buy a razer blackwidow blue cherry for gaming >_>
I don't think blue cherries would game well, since yeah i double tap really much

fssbzz · « **Reply #91 on:** Wed, 01 December 2010, 13:15:33 »

why don't you just straight away buy it from Armygroup or PCHOME?
