What Rapoo is this?
« on: Tue, 26 August 2014, 09:27:16 »
Catch this when I was wandering around Verkkokauppa, mechanical I believe, linear, but don't know what kind of switch and the keycaps are really interesting.

The switches look very short. Perhaps they even have shorter actuation point than the clone "Razer Mechanical Switches"

I like linear switches

I think the switches here are actually drawn, not real ones.

I also recall seeing it here several years ago... It got flak for the function keys being like a touch screen.

Interesting layout compromise — they've managed to get both right Windows and menu and into a 60%. Not only that, but Fn is in the same place as on a laptop, and on the opposite hand to the one used for home/end/page up/down.

I want to try one now : (

Looks rad man, but I wish they didn't make the function keys like that.

Rapoo KX with Kailh Yellows. The keycaps are MX compatible and it has a nice layout. If you're enterprising, you could swap in your favourite MX switches :)

Buying more keycaps,
it really hacks my wallet,
but I must have them.

I like what they did with the keycaps to bring them to a chiclet-keyboard-like look, but it is also so hard to pull off, I tried to have a look at the switches but had to give up


That is one nice compact keyboard though, I quite like it
