if you can go there... you already have the advantage of trying out the keyboards before buying...

unlike some of us who have to rely on friends, internet and postage to get mech kb

Ya will call my friend to bring me there if possible. Anyway I have tried Majestouch 2 Cherry Brown tenkeyless in viewnet before and i like it but sadly there is no black colour. I am looking for 104 keys one and with black caps

Speaking of viewnet, i went there 4 days ago for some "research" on the mech kb available there and i've found out that there's a lot of brown switch MJ2 and the yellow caps doesn't seems as attractive as it was in the pictures

BWU is still the same, only fancy printing on the BF3 version which is located next to their MJ2 shelf

Corsair boards... disappointing i'd say because the R4 (Esc to F12 etc) is not Cherry MX, plain rubber dome switch.





i wonder when will Cherry G80-XXXX reach MY?

the price for the FILCOs still that expensive???

actually the price now is quite standard already, just that the variety of mainstream mech kb in our country is still incomparable to other countries :S

currently we have Filco, Leopold, Cherry(coming soon, source: a member here with MJ2 AI blue), Realforce, KBT. Hope that more will be coming so users can be exposed to more info instead of knowing only those "Gaming Mechanical Keyboards".

filco NJ2 Ninja TKL brown selling for how much in market price?

Filco Majestouch 2 MX Cherry Brown 104 keys (Blue keyboard) for Rm399. Is it cheap or normal price?

Very cheap.

Well, since I just tested the mechanical keyboard testpad I suppose I need to give a review.
Please bear in mind that this is my first time using a mechanical keyboard and my review is from my noob perspective.

Black Switch
Best for key-mashers out there. Personally I think keys like Enter and F5 should use this switch since these are they keys that is mostly abused.
Most resistive of all the switches. A gamer friend of mine said this switch feels good.

Blue Switch
It will suit touch typist who would want a clicky feedback. Not really my kinda switch since it was easy for me to bottom out.
Definitely not for key-mashers.

Green Switch
Everything is the same as the blue switch except it's more resistive.
The extra resistance makes it feels firmer than blue.
Personally I prefer green than blue for switch with clicky feedback.

Black + 65g Switch
Another bottom out switch.
Lighter than normal black and more resistive than red.
Somehow it feels a bit like normal rubber dome keyboard.

Red Switch
Bottoming out this switch feels comfortable for me since there's no tactile feedback.
This is the less resistive (at least for me) among the bottom out switch.

Brown Switch
The resistance combined with tactile feedback makes a nice combination which prevents me from bottoming out.
One of the keys that I'll consider when buying my mech keyboard.

Clear Switch
It felt like brown, only more resistive.
For me I found this switch a little comfortable since it requires more force than brown to actuate it.

Ergo Clear Switch
For me this switch felt a little "wobbly" and not very robust.
It gave the strongest tactile response than other switches.
It's my least favourite switch.

Clear + 65g Switch
This switch felt like brown, but the tactile response is stronger.
It also felt more robust compared to brown switch.

This is the only picture that I have. Apologies in advance because I didn't manage to go anywhere this week due to work.
I only took the testpad to my office.

I bottom out on my Blues and I enjoy it ~~~

Hey, my friend will be touring uk/europe area. Any good brands of mech kb can be found there at better price/quality than those available locally?

Thanks

Mionix Zibal may be? It is hard/impossible to be found in Asia.
Or may be some Cherry brand keyboards too, they are much cheaper in Europe AFAIK.

now the price is around that? around RM400-ish?
if so, then considered ok already.... for a fullsize that is...

I think he mean blue color, AI version.

For AI blue, its consider very cheap already, if its me i'd straight away take out cash and buy it.

You can get Cherry MX3000 series keyboard for cheaps in Germany/Austria. Rm250 - RM300 ish
However, since these keyboards are huge, your friend could probably fit very little number of keyboards inside.

between ducky n filco which one is worth to get??? planning to have brown switches...

are those key arrangement same? They use Euro arrangement right?

Looks good, pretty pricey from amazon at 130~ pounds though..

Thanks these seem to be near the price I'm aiming for <RM400. How does it compare with Ducky G2 PBT and Leopold FC500.

Found this on amazon uk, seems to be bashing its 'average' build quality though

Cherry branded mech kb is PCB mounted, which didn't use steel/metal plate. Thus the overall feel may be less solid. But the typing feel is still superb, and some ppl even prefer plateless mech kb over plated one as the feels are dif.

BTW, Mionix Zibal cheapest price I saw are around sub 100USD, forget from which sites/countries
