any other good mech kb brands that use PBT keycaps?

Don't fall into the trap of so called "gaming" mechanical keyboard. It is basically just a mechanical keyboard with some redundant functions/specs. Infact, some of them even lack/sacrificed some of the so called "gaming" specs(Razer BW only 2KRO, Corsair K60/90 is a mix of rubber dome)...

In short, all brand should be OK, as long as it is having a good built quality.

SS, Filco and other famous mech kb OEM are having quite good and solid built quality. Though, SS isn't much popular around here because it is having limited switches/layout choices unlike other brands like Leopold/Ducky/Filco. Also, SS keyboards are somehow overpriced too.

Black switch is more famous because it is older and longer in the market. Some gamers like it's tactileless(linear) feel and fast actuation(less than 2mm). But most important is to get the type of switch which suit your typing/gaming style, so better try them out to be sure.

BTW, all Cherry MX switches are gold plated...

Black switches are way harder than Red switches. IMO, you cannot really feel that you are pressing the keys with Red switch. Black switch requires more force than Red.

You can go and have fun getting the custom boards/better boards. Good Luck

RM270 is a decent price for a DAS, but I figured you have more options anyway, since you are at where you are.

My friend in KL just bought a Majestouch Ninja TKL from Cex, was around RM350. I got my Rapid Fire from him too.

COD around KL or you can go to his shop.

just found his lowyat forum profile. Does he have a shop in lowyat?
