hey guy, i have an issue with my leopold FC700R where the keyboard seems to rock on two opposite feet, like a table with one leg shorter than the rest. I cant work out if its a problem with the keyboard or the table (which is flat glass) or something else. I am not using the keyboards raised legs but everything else looks fine underneath. anyone else had this issue?

I spilled pop in my ss g6v2 about a week ago and I spent 3 hours cleaning the crap out of it. But now some keys are sticking really bad because of the switches. Is there any way to swap out some of the switches from the number side without soldering or any way to clean the switches themselves. I've had this keyboard for a while and I am too poor to buy a new one at the moment. @__@ I'm not sure how to get the back off the keyboard either. I can take the screwsout but then it doesnt just open up. Around the bottom of the keyboard around the cord part wont come off unless i force it and i dont want to force it open is there a trick?
wot?

Ok well there isn't another screw hidden anywhere and its still not coming off and lets just assume that the soda has dried inside the switches [because thats kinda what has happened] is it still saveable with that lubricant?

It looks like a clip on the inside of the keyboard and another where the cord meets up, I'm not sure how to open this tank. @___@
wot?

Anyone interested in getting some of these? It seems the sets will cost around $30 each for the numpad. Saw these on Geekhack and currently in the process of contacting the owner. The more interest, the cheaper we can get.

That would be pretty sweet, if only I played zerg.


Not only zerg players can love a good numpad

EDIT: If anyone is interested, just shoot me a PM and I'll keep you updated.

Also, pricing on the numpad will look like this -

2 buyers = 29.50 USD each
3 = 25 <----
4 = 23.25
5 = 22
6 = 21.17
...
10 = 17.80
...
20 = 15.02

It looks nice, I would totally get if they had a terran, maybe I'll order some doubleshots and customize my own.

Ugh I wish keycap sets were cheaper sometimes. Man that is one dusty keyboard though LOL. Does it not bug you or something?

Haha, it's actually not my keyboard. I'm looking into ORDERING these, these are the pictures the original owner sent me.

Seriously, if both of you wanted Zerg Numpads the pricing would come out at $26 USD for a whole numpad. PM me~

The pricing is posted on the previous page, and looks like this

1 buyer = 45.00 USD each
2 buyers = 29.50 USD each
3 = 25 <----
4 = 23.25
5 = 22
6 = 21.17
...
10 = 17.80
...
20 = 15.02

You can see the difference between 1 and 2 buyers, then 2 and 3 buyers.

I think have a similar problem with my Filco, but its an easy fix.

Just get a firm grip on either end of the keyboard and twist/flex it back into shape, so that all four corners are sitting flat on the table.

It just the casing being slightly warped, I have to do it each time I get my Filco out.

This is completely ridiculous. I have to pay 60% MORE to get the same keyboard, only because I dont live in the US! This is complete bullshit. And it's not like its US-only brands.

And whats the most laughable about this? The "Pro" versions of the keyboards even cost 5€ less than the standard versions!

So my 5th razer blackwidow ultimate died on me now, ended up going to best buy and getting a refund since they didn't have any more and the 2013 models werent in yet. No clue what to buy now as far as mechanical keyboard. Anyone know if the razer black widow 2013's are actually durable? Or will they still have the same shitty quality as the black widows I've had? Are the steel series 6gv2's any better? Or should I go with one of the other brands listed in this thread?

I suggest Rosewill and Leopold for cherry switches. I'm thoroughly happy with both of mine. (Rosewill reds and Leopold tenkeyless browns).

Is the 6gv2 good/durable? For some reason I want a gaming mechanical keyboard, but maybe that's just me being vain and attracted to razers shiny lights. I've also not heard of the other brands aside from reazer/steel series, I know now from reading that steel series keyboards are very flimsy, are steel series better? Are the other brands better than steel series as well? Also is there another brand that does the flashy backlit keys like razer but has their keyboards actually not die on you? And one thing I was curious about, I heard that keyboards like the 7g or blackwidow ultimate aren't allowed in tournaments because of macro keys, is that true?

did some looking around, and the ducky looks really nice, I can get one with blue switches and backlighting to be like my blackwidow was. Question is, is ducky reputable? Or will one of those crap out on me like my last 5 blackwidow ultimates in the past year?

Never heard of ducky :O

I've also only used Steelseries briefly, so I won't comment on them. My Rosewill and Leopolds are both plain (no backlights. macro keys, etc). I paid roughly the same price for my Rosewill as a 6gv2 costs, and it feels sturdy to me, which I expect is because my money went directly into the keyboard, rather than into the keyboard and all kinds of addon stuff (like backlights and macro keys and LCD screens for some reason in a keyboard?).

razer blackwidows are known for having a fairly poor build quality. You can feel it as soon as you touch the keys. Almost any reputable brand will offer a better product in terms of quality. Ducky is good although I have seen some poor reviews of the TKL backlit version. 6gv2 has black or red switches so wont feel very similar to a blackwidow. I would recommend a filco > leopold > tt meka g1 > steelseries 6gv2 for you. I cant comment on the rosewell as I havent used one.

I was looking at this also http://tigerimports.net/sunshop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=11996 looks really promising, same blue switches and backlighting as black widow and isn't made by razer, but I can't find people that are very familiar with ducky. Also I'll look at leopold in a sec, the das with the blue switches looks really nice, just my vain side wants a backlit one

filco didnt go under, they almost did and stopped providing product, the diatec website is still up and going strong. you can still buy their keyboards at the moment, and except for the leopold FC700R they generally provide a superior product.

if you really want backlit get a ducky shine. the TKL version has some strange issues with the backspace and center key ive heard. but im yet to try one so who knows. if it had some more decent reviews I would probably pick one up tbh.

The DK one seems nice, and the shine ones are all sold out it seems Any more information on what's wrong with the DK one, or how the ducky quality in general is? If you were to do a scale of say razer steel series ducky and das.
