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...

Both the keyboards are very worthy for their price.
TK is a solid board, and once you get used to the numpad block, it's really a nice keyboard to use.
Shine 2, well it's a good board for its price. Typing on one right now.
It all comes down to your switch preference and budget. Have you tried MX Red and Brown yet?

even if someone made one, it won't look good on Cherry MX keyboard, since there is only one LED hole on the switch, you will only see the lighting on one side.
well anyway, the keycap on the Alienware board doesn't looks good to me to begin with.

lol, for me got 37 keys for PBT caps already enough, since I don't really use the other keys that often anyway. For the spacebar, don't think the coating will wear off that fast lol. I am not a hardcore typist sweat.gif

Topre Heaven biggrin.gif Will be available in Malaysia - July. RM 479-499

wow affordable Topres! but what's the difference with this and RealForce, other than the price? hmm.gif

Edit: Found that Cyntrix mentioned Topre Heaven use ABS for the keycaps... Guess that's one of the reason for the cheap price?
