Since there's so many of you out there with more experience than me, can you please recommend a keyboard that would fit the specs below?
- Cherry MX Brown (I do A LOT A LOT A LOT of touch-typing, so want a bit of tactile feel that doesn't need too much force)
- metal/steel plate underlying (hate the "give" in some keyboards when you bottom out)
- backlight brightness adjustable
- backlight does not "bleed" e.g. symbols & letters look clear when backlight is on instead of looking "blurry"
- PBT keys (do NOT want "glossy" kb) w/ laser etching (no engraving; want smooth keys)
- includes numpad
- "commonsense" design (e.g. not like Ducky's 9008G2 where the cable is forced to fold underneath at a 90-degree angle - see: this pic)
- metal key-puller (plastic ok if all of the other requirements above fulfilled)
Are there any shops with good variety of mechanical keyboards? Also, anyplace where I could "test" keyboards? A lot of shops either have very limited variety, or don't have display sets you can test (or both lol).
BONUS BUT NOT REQUIRED:
- mesh cable instead of typical plastic-coated cable for greater flexibility
- windowed Caps, NumLock keys etc
- WHITE KEYBOARD!!
- raised keys (like Corsair keyboards) instead of recessed keys (much easier to clean & pull out)
- nice/unique/interesting design (e.g. Corsair LOL)
Budget: Up to RM400.
Why don't I just get Corsair since I keep comparing? Because I think the price is ridiculously unfair & jacked up for a keyboard that isn't FULLY mechanical. Those few extra mechanical keys so expensive-meh, Corsair? Want to make expensive-looking, classy product, then skimp on quality. Cheapskates! (typing, so use a lot of Pg Up/Down/Del/Home/End)
Lastly, can anybody tell me if O-ring sound dampeners would spoil the tactile feel/bottoming-out feel of a mechanical keyboard? May want to mod later to reduce sound if necessary.
Thank you all so much for your time & answers!
