Dont think that is a mechanical keyboard.
It stated: "119 membrane silent switch and keystroke life up to more than 100,000,000 times." Membrane?

guess wrong place to ask

is ok. I am not gamer. So cant recommend you which mechanical is good. But many said Blue switch is good for gaming.

You should state your budget, requirement, Usage (gaming or text input), NKRO?, Backlit and etc so that some sifu can suggest a suitable one for you.
BUT be prepare to bleed your wallet! biggrin.gif

my budget only RM200, mostly for my gaming pc. if got backlit better. what is NKRO?

and the reason I asked views for the keyboard is that it currently on bundle with Foxbat mouse and a mousepad for RM300 at AllIT in Lowyat Plaza. but hard to find reviews for both mouse and keyboards, so wanna ask here. sweat.gif

RM200 for a decent mechanical keyboard will a bit low. Your choice will be limited.

what about <RM400? got any that suits my preference? i don't want keyboard with plain look. most mech keyboard I found looks just like normal keyboard like SteelSeries 6gv2. sweat.gif

RM400 got a lot of choices. CM quick series, Ducky, Rosewell(Plain) and etc.
Try contact heavyarm. He got sell a lot of mech keyboard. But you might need to go PC shop to try out which switch is suitable for you.

Ducky G2 Pro seem like good choice. http://www.heavy-arm.com/product.php?id_product=179
Blacklit, PBT keycap. But it is a TKL. Some may not like TKL.

been reading here and there, and do agree that mech enthusiast, would go for the brands you mentioned, however i was thinking in a line where the prices are roughly the same, and since all of us are using cherry mx switches, it should be roughly the same right?

Earlier i went to the PC fair to get a glimpse of mec keyboards, but i only see ducky, so hard to decide.

For CM storm trigger, i saw on youtube that the larger keys will "stick"  so kinda discourage to try that brand.

So little choices for "gaming" keyboard, but for a RM385 price tag, Osmium, seems very good with USB3.0 pass thru and mic and headphone jacks

There are many factors other than cherry mx switches that determine the quality of a mech keyboard. Controller, PCB board, stabiliser, layout, keycap used and etc.
For example of Proton wira, it use Mistu engines. But failed on small thing like Power window, rattle engine mounting, gearbox and other non-engine related problem.
