If you want more choices of switches like cherry mx browns, cherry mx reds and other different models, you can order from pchome or elsewhere.


mech keyboards aren't cheap and there is a reason for that. Expect your budget to be at least 400 minimum, and 600 at most.



I've tried cherry mx black, cherry mx red, cherry mx brown switches so far ....


Cherry mx black is too stiff for me. Cherry mx brown is just nice. Cherry mx red is softer than brown and is also very nice.

I feel that you would be happy with either browns or reds. If you like soft go red. if you want it slightly a bit more stiffer get brown. Black to me is not pleasant, but apparently some like them

Spacebar switch, i found the cherry mx grey and clears make a very nice spacebar switch.



Cherry mx blue is clicky. I haven't used before but i don't i would like it because they are noisy. Also not so good for double tapping in fps games, although some say they don't notice it. But why put things to chance Also blue switches wear out more because dirt can get easily stuck in them eventually, whereas the same does not happen to cherry mx brown and other non clicky switches. blues are also a bit more stiffer than brown, and have a stronger tactile feeling.



Mech keyboards is about using mechanical switches, in this case cherry mx switches. There is also buckling springs, topre switches ... however we all find the cherry mx switches best in terms of affordability :}


buckling springs are very loud and classic. topre are very nice but very expensive as well. cherry MY are horrible. Cherry mx are good performers and still more reasonably priced when compared to topres.



Another thing often overlooked is the keycap print, and plastic.


Regular keyboards use cheap plastic, and the letters fade really easily because of pad printing.



Better quality keycaps have are lasered, engraved, double shot or dye sublimated.

20 red switches isn't enough for the whole keyboard :/

I use google Chrome browser with translation plugins "instant translate" and " "google translate"


pchome accept paypal and ship internationally.

nice pics gratz.

pchome, some models they don't have english.

last time i checked the tiger edition they didn't have the English version. So i had to order elsewhere which cost much more :/

das keyboards tend to have very wearable key cap prints. so those letterings basically will fade really easily, like those cheap rubber dome keyboards.

Also it's glossy. Finger print magnet basically kinda like the razer black widow.

Just so you know what your getting into :}
