Have you tried change the illumination level? AFAIK there's 0%, 50% and 100%

Today Storekini is running a sale too on Ducky's Shine 3 RM399 .. is it a good bargain?

if noise is a problem, you can try looking at the G710+ that has noise dampeners on each of the keys, the fact it's a Cherry-Mx brown keyboard as well helps a lot with the noise... alternatively you can opt for a cherry-Mx Red keyboard like the Gigabyte Aiviabut yeah you're looking at RM500 to burn for either keyboards.....

The G510? well I hope you can find the old one cause the G510s is about RM450... which defeats the purpose and I'd rather jump straight to the G710+ for a little more RM 

Need to get advice from you guys.

I'm keen to buy a mechanical keyboard and now I got myself a deal for CM quickfire rapid @ RM200 (used)?

Worth the money or is there any other good mech keyboards shud i get?

Cm qfr is a good board.

If you are okay with 2nd hand item and the board is fully functional with warranty (recently a guy bought a 2nd hand qfr with a faulty alt), then it is ok to get it.

Alternatively, you can buy chinabrands mech kb from taobao for a little more than that.

Thanks for the reminder. The keyboard is claimed in good working cond by the seller. Will go and check it myself. As i cannot really find any cheaper minimalis mechanical keyboard any better than this quickfire tho.

Anyhow, went to browse at taobo, and I can assure that the price there isn't that cheap 

We bet to differ.   DO note that this is in RMB (china yuan). Also, this isn't exactly the cheapest china mechanical keyboard (but any cheaper than that normally are not very recommended, especially for beginner).

Pay a visit to mech kb thread, we can teach you more on taobao keyboard shopping there if you wish to.

Aahh I see. Guessed i didnt know where to search did I? 

Flipping thru mkb threads just now. So many good infos. Thanks dude! (but i refuse to go thru shipping hassle and such, taobao not really an option)

This. Or save up a bit and get Ducky Zero, build is like a tank so it will last you quite awhile. The Blackwood tournament ed is pretty flimsy so I wouldn't recommend it.

Currently i reccomend Quick Fire TK if you can still find it. I bought mine (Red Cherry MX) for around 300~. These keyboards are hybrids, with functionality like a full keyboard but tenkeyless length. And yes, the backlit depends on the type of switch. It's a very good deal for mechanical keyboards.

Owh Ducky Zero? I think that's will out of my budget...   

Owh, that Quick Fire TK is same with Quickfire Pro right? I Think i want to take that's keyboard... 

the quickfire tk is tenkeyless meaning it doesn't have the numpad(which is useless anyway in gaming) while the quickfire pro is standard layout with the numpad.

I suggest you should try the different type of switches before buying any Mechanical Keyboard
