I need some buying advise/suggestions from this group :-

Currently using a very old MX blue keyboard I found in my store room, still works great!!!... to give you an idea how old is the keyboard, it have a switch for 8088/80286 at the back... haha

I wanted the following features :-
- LED backlit for night time gaming... ( red or blue )
- MX red or MX brown ( MX blue is too noisy )

I filtered down my brands/models to either CM Storm or Ducky...

Should I get the :-

CM Storm Quickfire TK MX Red/ RED LED, RM339
Like the CM Storm TK keypad innovation/design and low price
( dun like the MX brown with white LED )
or

Ducky Channel DK9087 Shine 2, MX Brown/ Blue LED, RM429
Like the Ducky for MX Brown + blue backlit

Is the RM100 extra worth it to go for the Ducky ?
Are all MX switches the same quality ?

( feels a bit guilty to spend more than RM400 on an extra keyboard!!! )

Can use the extra $$$ for an armrest/accessories...

get mx brown, you wont prefer reds so much as you have been using blues... and get ducky shine2 with white or red leds so that different keycaps can look good on it.

ducky is a solid build mech keyboard... I never tried CM mech keyboards.. but I've never found anyone complaining about ducky here smile.gif I think it's worth the extra 100 bucks as duckys resale value is nice too as demand is thr.

I've already despise Razer MKB and their peripherals way back,
As for Logitech...I can't believe I said this...their mouse switch sucks, and the MKB G710+ LEDs DEAD issues are... vmad.gif !
Heard no complain for the duckies, leopard and vortex though...well not that I can think of.  nod.gif

It's okay, if there's really no choice, I'll have to order from Amazon sad.gif Would have been nice if I could buy it locally though

I'd still suggest you to look for other brands, Plus a lot of people don't like reds and prefer browns as it gives you that slight tactile feeling which is quiet useful for me in gaming smile.gif just my 2 cents though. And this is only if you're new into mech keyboards. If you know about different switches and brands, I am sure u must have done a thorough research (y)

Shine 2 is pretty standard so it'll be easy to find sets on TaoBao. Unless there's a forumer selling a second hand set, there's no local vendors who sell them.

Overpriced... Click the link to find out  the price. tongue.gif

Well, maybe it's just the keycaps. I haven't change the keycaps yet. The spacebar have minimal friction with the frame since the first day I owned her. So sometime spacebar keycap stuck, sometime not. I guess it's just me. But give me a bad experience. I'm not saying that Ducky are bad, but I think I'm not trust them for now. Haha... But I'm sure I'll get the TKL Shine 2 next time.

yeah it's your luck then as ducky shine 2 is serving me very well biggrin.gif
although I wanna get keycaps but i dont knw chinese or knw neone who knws chinese to get PBT keycaps. sad.gif so ill wait if someone of u are selling shine 2 PBT keycaps biggrin.gif
