Hmm... i think the typing feel wouldnt be so much of a difference between spherical and curved cylinder.... especially if you're touch typing, unless you purposely type slow slow just to "feel" the awesomeness of your keycaps.... LOL
The M87 is tenkeyless???? Can give link? Want see see....  brows.gif  brows.gif

Hello guys, newbie into Mechanical KBs here.

Anyway, i only learned about mechanical keyboards lately, and i went to read up on the mechanical keyboard guide.

I am currently using a Razer Lycosa, which, unfortunately, is a complete piece of sticky shit and i regret every cent spent on it. I am looking for a switch to mechanical keyboard as soon as possible, and i need some advice from fellow veterans here.

With the nature of mechanical keyboards, i am expecting a high price tag in general, so what would be the cheapest, yet decent affordable gaming grade mechanical keyboard, and the easiest way to buy it in malaysia selangor region?

better if u let us know ur budget? tongue.gif

Thanks for the quick response.

The person who introduced me to the mechanical KB scene is a Cherry MX red user actually, but i didnt know Cherry MX Red refers to a series of switch mechanism, instead of a certain Brand as i thought.

From the looks of it, i will be avoiding any Alps. I am thinking Cherry switches would be nice.

Does the actuation force actually mean anything other than the strength needed to push the key? Like say, in general, a lower actuation force means quicker input from finger to keyboard because less strength is needed?

Oh, and i am a little confused between Tactile and Linear. But for now, i frequent games that requires double tap, so Cherry MX Black is appealing to me the most for now.

Oh, and what about Gaming company endorsed keyboards? Such as steelseries and Razer, do they do anything more or they are just the same in general?

Generally, the area i am living is horrendous in terms of finding PC related stuff. Most shop doesnt even carry mouse pricing at RM15 above. The only good source is Klang's The Store/Shaw Centerpoint, where theres a shop that carries mostly everything available.

Hence, if said keyboard is widely available withins reach, instead of needing to rely on a online purchase, it would be a even bigger plus.

well, linear switch is where you press the switch straight down without any bump, while tactile switch is where you will experience a bump when pressing down the switch. The most significant tactile switch is the blue switch, loud annoying click. You can get more info related to cherry MX switches by referring to the 1st post of this thread. (red,clear,brown,blue,black)

personally like linear switches more as i don't really like the bump in tactile switches. Cyclone is offering a pretty good deal for his Leopold keyboards, you can check it out here:

less than RM70, i don't know the exact currency exchange,  RMB 1.7 : RM 1

something like that, 1.7 to 1.

the kb itself already near 3kg... 98 + 35 = 133, 133/1.85 + RM36 = ship to our house

Probably what he meant for shift key to feel different compare to other key are due to the "metal" thing.

cherry stabilizer? i suppose the lycosa he's using uses metal stabilizer like costar right? that's why it feels totally different to him.
