Getting off the glue of my white keycaps

I ordered this set of 108 white keycaps and found there is a lot of glue beneath those keycap!

Tsk tsk~

The laptop was still charging as seen from the above picture. Thinkpad is hardcore!

I didn’t mount any hard-drive on the caddy because I bought the caddy mainly to “fix” the irritating DVD open-door problem on T420.

Ducky DK-9008 G2 黑同刻

Recently bought a Ducky mechanical keyboard (blue switch) after selling off my Razer BlackWidow.

It comes along with 2 red ESC keycaps, WASD light blue keycaps and a keycap puller.

My Ducky with the colorful keycaps on it (original keycaps are kept aside):

As this keyboard is ???, the keycap lettering is black on black:

The design of this keyboard is compact. Lock keys has LED in-built inside. How cool can this be?!

Additionally, it comes with 4 macro keys at the top-right and 3 functions keys with red LED in-built:

The 4 marco keys function are as follows:
- Calculator
- Open up My Computer
- E-mail
- Homepage of Web browser

The 3 function keys is capable of:
- Disable Windows key
- Remapping Windows key to Alt key and vice-versa
- Disable Caps Lock key

Ducky keyboards are all Made in Taiwan, same as Filco keyboard. The good thing is that Filco and Ducky used almost the same keycaps. This means that keycaps between these keyboards are interchangeable.

If you are interested in getting one, try pm-ing SmallWalrus @ VR-zone. I got mine from him.

Razer Black Widow

Bought a mechanical keyboard, Razer Black Widow Standard Edition, for SGD139 after much poison, researches and consideration. This keyboard is using Cherry MX Blue Switch which is very “shiok” whenever I type something out.

Also comes with 5 macro buttons which I think I won’t be utilizing it as I no longer play MMORPG games. Will try to see if the macro buttons can be used to open up Windows application instead when I am free.

A picture of my new keyboard:

This keyboard is my 2nd Razer keyboard and in my opinion, it is one of the best out there. I previously own a Razer Arctosa but sold it after using it for 1 night as my wrist get very tired. This keyboard does not pose such problem to me. In addition, the feel and “click, click” sound by this mechanical keyboard is also very nice.

Now a picture of 3 Razer products on my working desk:

From left to right, Razer Black Widow, Razer Krait and Razer Goliathus.

RAM added!

A picture speaks a thousand words:

Added additional 1 GB of RAM from my bro computer which had up the lorry. This is what I called Renew, Reuse and Recycle since we used the same RAM frequency.

Overclocked my Core 2 Duo

As times passed by, my Intel Core 2 Duo 2.60 Ghz is getting slow. Hence, following the guide of overclocking Intel Core 2 Duo, I overclocked my CPU to 3.00 Ghz without adjusting any voltage.

Since my power supply is reaching near its limit, I could not adjust the voltage to overclock higher and hence I am stuck at 3.00 Ghz which is stable enough after running all the stress tests.

Of course, the CoolerMaster Hyper n520 which I bought last year was not in vain. With this, I was able to “stock” overclock up to 3.00 Ghz with only 2 degree Celsius of temperature increase.
