Im playing to get my 1st gaming keyboard next two month..May..

Budget only rm250 and below..
what keyboard is the best around this price?
i play a lot RPG, FPS, online games, and will play AikaSea..
i hope i can macros in that game..xD

will need some suggestion which keyboard is suitable.
currently reviewed g15 keyboard...but this keyboard already very2 OLD in the market...i dont want to regret later...

if u're not going for mechanical keyboards, 250 should be fine.

-microsoft sidewinderX4 around 200+-
-razer arctosa (:S) less than 200
-steelseries ZBoard around 160 or less from Edifier Steelseries stock clearence
-Logitech G110
-ROCCAT Arvo

these should be the ones available in malaysia

Yay can't wait for Leopold to come soon. It seems that red switches are new here to malaysian mech kb users. Just out of curiosity, are red switches gonna be on par with brown switches in terms of gaming and typing? From what i've found out about red switches, they're like blacks but require less force which is also suitable for gaming and also heaven in typing. Nevertheless, it's something totally new to replace my cheap individual rubber done keyboard.

I'm sorry to tell you that Mechanical Keyboard doesn't have Macro functions.

Well, they do have, Gigabyte and Razer, These have Macro functions, but for your budget, each of the keyboard is RM280 above, which i don't think you can get with RM250 budget.

For Macros, I'm also a macro user, but i only use macros on the mouse and use a mechanical keyboard instead. so all my macros are relying on my mouse, my keyboard is for NKRO function because of FPS game. but i do play MMORPG, and RTS and other genre of the game, it's just that, sometimes, FPS games, you need to duck, see score, report, reload and jump. that is rare occasion. but when you do it one day with non NKRO keyboard, just hope you won't meet a enemy while you're doing so.

might as well i wait for the Leopold red which is less than 400

ive read about it also..im not going to get g510~ i rather get g15 because not soo many complain about it..


razer arctosa vs lycosa mirror vs g15..i think g15 is better from what i read..again
g15 is my choice so far..

The expensive of mech keyboard....-.-

overall ill think G15 will most suited for me now..

Thanks for all the opinions..

all of a sudden our topic changed from mechanical keyboard to gaming keyboard.

The Filco red has some odd issues with my Mac. I cant seem to register it properly with my Mac. It requires me to redo the thing everytime I boot up. Annoying.

better than my noppoo choc, doesnt seems to work at all on Mac

So far pretty digging the Red. I kinda miss the tactile feel of my BWU and the click. But I like the layout of the Filco better. Filco Blue in the making? Hmm.

What switch u guys prefer for playing games like FPS ?
I wonder brown is the good one for me.

personally think black is better. Still waiting for my housemate's zowie kb to arrive before i can tell how a brown switch feels like :/

Blacks seems to be the favored switch among FPS players.

Holy smokes. The Red is really sensitive. I dont think I have pressed more than half and its already registering. Fuyoo. Also I am so poisoned by this.

Gotta try the different switches mar. And the Tactile pro works fully on the Mac. Which is rather interesting. Might be getting a free keyboard in the future, a new gaming peripheral manufacturer coming into the market.

From the day i changed from BW to brown switch Filco, I can feel the different for the 5g force between blue and brown switch, probably the blue need to pass through the clicky sound make me feel different and I can't really feel the tactile in brown switch at all. It make me feel uncomfortable while typing.
But after sometime, its feel greater than BW without that much of tactile and non-clicky. The only thing i dont like is the spacebar with brown switch. Kinda wierd.... like it is empty inside. LOL

I know about the design and it being made from the same technology. Thats why I am poisoned by it.

hi guys, looking to buy my first mechanical keyboard (full). going to use it mostly for typing, so most probably will go for either red or brown switch.

will watch this with interest, filco and leopold coming soon to malaysia oh yes!

just out of curiosity, how's the build quality of these two brands?

thanks.

Welcome to LYN.
Filco will be more expensive than Leopold.
If you want more on typing, i suggest you get blue switch. It is awesome!
