Now so many mechanical keyboards out there.
SS 6GV2 is overpriced before at RM399. Now seems dropped a bit.

Seems like mechanical keyboard is not just about types of switches, also more into customization ability now.

last weekend spotted this keyboard at ALL IT, i think it's RM400+ iinm.

mech keyboard only got 3 types of switches, right?

need suggestion for a great gaming keyboard...300 below budget..thinking of alienware tactx and razer deathstalker/anansi...any others suggestion and opinion are welcome

Honestly...if you're looking for a normal gaming keyboard, go for G110...
I don't really like Razer products...the coatings and the cosmetics area arn't build for heavy gamers and will tend to fade/wear off in months...

But...if you're willing to squish out some $$, I'd say Corsair K90...

I agree on the G110 the logitech line is quite robust and durable but going for thr corsair K90 might not be the wiser choice.. for one, you're paying more for the brand and being only semi mechanical, it's not teh best of value for money

i have learned long ago, logitech so called gaming keyboards are over priced. They're in the end just rubber dome keyboards >->; not worth their asking price.

This is why i created the mechanical keyboard club to help others know the difference.

if paying a hundred of more, just get cheapest mech keyboard, don't buy so called over priced gaming rubber dome keyboard 
my last rubberdome keyboard used was a Logitech G15. i remember sometimes in game i pressed a key and sometimes it didn't actuate. This caused me some wipes in world of warcraft among other games.

Never had this issue with my Ducky DK-9008 Tiger Limited edition mechanical keyboard. The only mistake i make is when i press wrong key when not looking properly, or when touch typing. But with mechanical keyboard (cherry mx brown at least since thats what i'm using), i'm never left to wonder whether the key i pressed actuated or not (because mine is tactile so i get feedback from typing to indicate the key actuated).

But on the G15, it felt like mush, and you never can tell if you press whether it did or not, sometimes.

You got to try both and compare it yourself to know this, especially over long term usage.

Yea, you're right! Moogle!!!
when i first know about mechanical keyboard, it was around 2 years ago when i browsed around and saw your legacy, the mechanical keyboard club and went inside for a peek because that time i know nothing about mechanical keyboard.... the first mech keyboard i saw was a Filco Majestouch 2 Metallic Blue, i was instantly captivated by it's simple design and nice color!!! then i asked and found out that shocking price        which makes me go do my research and then now.... got myself rosewill rk9000 blue switch and never regret!!!!

but only one regret though.... damn im poisoned by them custom keycaps and korean customs!!!     

Well I do agree that the mechanical switches are far superior compared to rubber-dome type but there are features that the mechanical keyboards are missing compared to other gaming keyboards, it is not until recently that they have backlit keys and dedicated gaming buttons... Logitech just started to have one so it'll be a matter of time..

other than that, each one of us have different needs and preferences to what kind of peripherals they're looking for and comfortable with be it for typing or gaming, not to mention that some of us can't justify paying RM50 for a keyboard let alone a mechanical one that cost more than most keyboards out there

you are better, i regret getting razer BW
my 1st mech kb and the worst.....
strongly agree. i nvr came across any of my friend using mechanical kb except myself. it is not for mass and as you said, most can't justify rm50 for a kb alone.

after trying mechanical kb, it is a good buy for me and as moogle said,

well, i totally agreed with you on this, that's why if wanna get rubberdome, just get those RM50-ish would suffice, paying more for so-called gaming keyboards are just wasting unjustified money....
and i have to say, almost everyone i know dont think the money i paid for keyboard justifies the value, because they are viewing things at a different perspective.... pretty much like comparing dogs to cats.... 
this.. this... this... is kind of unfortunate.....

then right now using what keyboard? 

still using it till eol.  buy got my aim on filco/ rosewill.
