Hi everyone,

Looking for a mechanical keyboard, budget of RM300 or less. No glossy surface/keys, please smile.gif

Things that don't matter to me:
-LED
-TKL/full
-Macro keys/programmable keys/all that jazz

Things that matter:
-Reliability/quality
-Warranty

TLDR: Something basic, good value for money, and I'm guessing that my budget is considered "entry level". Will decide what color switches to get with a hands-on when doing the actual shopping.

Planned use: gaming @ home (SC2, etc), some typing ala chatting/CV updating.

Any recommendations as to what model/brand I should look at?

Rosewill or Ducky Zero. ask Cyntrixtech.

was going for that keycool. cheap summore, so ok la. but stock..... doh.gif

Get the FC660M with clears from TB.
Don't think you'll like it though. Clears are horrible.

Clears with modded springs are much much better.

alamak, dat layout..... sweat.gif

they are very heavy when they come in stock switches. the springs are very "heavy". so some people prefer it to be modded, once modded, they feel perfect  thumbup.gif
memang. but i give up liao, now going for something else. : p

Thanks guys for the reply. Compared it to the Black Switch which is heavier? Is there any place in KL that I can go to try them out?

Also regarding tax, will Keyboard be tax if buy from Taiwan?
*
computer-related items dont have tax. pay with shipping and just goyang kaki wait to arrive.

guys, any homemade tips to eliminate the squeeking sound on my spacebar? cherry stabs...

yes, thick pbt. not like most normal pbt.

the color under led is actually greyish blue, not as neutral white as in my picture.

Thick PBT's seem lower profile than the ABS keycaps. Or did you choose the lower profile keys? Though I don't really go much for white because of how dirty they tend to get.

i like the font, was looking for normal whites when stumbled upon this vortex set. all sellers from taobao sold out, got them from gh/techkeys. im practicing using this lower profile, i feel that i can type faster but more typo also. laugh.gif
