recommended tenkeyless keyboard (MX Blue) with cheap and good quality? Best with backlitted cause hostel is always dark and gloomy

hahaha .. after study, i found out that it is just alps switches .. but the keyboard look really like that .. but the cable can't fit into the ps2 port ..

Did anyone use Armaggeddon Mech Keyboard?? I need review

Human10 China KB Master, want recommendation for low priced TKL for office use.. not sure about HPE/PLU or others..

if you have an incoming delivery from overseas, how do u check if custom is holding it?

Sorry for not providing enough information for you..

Mobility is not a concern as I'm planning to leave the board at my office.

Considering 96 layout?
- Yes, but I still lean towards standard TKL

Plate/pcb mount?
- don't mind

Wireless?
- don't mind

Keycaps type?
- don't mind

Specific need?
- Cherry MX Blue for programming

Plan to mod 9 9 next time?
- no plan yet, perhaps only key caps.. soldering is out of my league

Keycaps compaitbility (spacebar compability concerning you much?)
- yes or no, indeed I'm having hard time looking for replacement spacebar for my Leopold.. but I absolutely love the solid feel of Leopold keyboard that balanced the pros/cons of it. and I actually considered FC200R/FC700R

The cheaper the better?
- sub RM300, kena curi heart not so pain.

QFR fits my requirements, but I'll leave it as my backup choice.. anyone know if HeavyArms got QFR for molest?... worst to worst, change the chassis of QFR =.=
I do consider the option of getting the ONI, but having no MX Blue option and RM100 topup for PBT caps is more towards luxury option...

well, I do love PBT caps, but ABS is fine for me too.

I can't think of any reason for not getting that for those that is currently looking for TKL man

yup ..

RM 100 you can mod it to any LED you want alreayd

hi, im a potential mech kb buyer 

so i spent the last few days going thru the 101s of mech kb. Already can memorise some of the switches and their characteristics.

Not sure which to buy yet.
Budget max rm350, i prefer those tenkeyless keyboards, future customisation in terms of replacing keycaps with other colors is very much welcomed.

LEDs are not so important to me.

Ducky/steelseries seems to be the most popular - but does this mean i should not consider other brands? 
How does the experience differ between brands?

Can, but why do you want to replace LEDs?
You want a unicorn vomit LED board?

Most LED circuitry do not support individual colors.
Even for the POKER LED matrix, probably can see that some LED are dimmer/brighter than others if you use different colors.

thanks to Human10's recommendation... PLUM96 is on the way...

  I'm a junky man to doing this kind of stuff, at the end will screw whole the keyboard, that's why need to grab the produce 1.

For POKER 2 type PCB, need so desolder everything, and need to put back in.
Even with the right tools, it takes 2 -3 hours to do.

Rm20 just for 1 LED, maybe la.
Doable.
But I assume MKA-3 uses Pb Free solder and cheap quality PCB.
With that combination, those PCBs are a big no no for frequent solder/desoldering.

The red is not as bright as my ducky's led. but it's still noticeable 

Need to desolder the LED pads as they are presoldered.
It's not that LEDs damaged.
For parallel circuits, the Voltage drop across the other LEDs is lower than the Red LED.
This means the LED is being powered by lower voltage, hence the lower brightness.

If you can decipher the schematics, then you can probably group the same circuits together and do cluster LED color or something.

how about HPE?
same thing too rite?
but some say the case abit not same shape wor?
the HPE shape more Rectangular kan?

plu ml-87 is 2KRO only >.<
dat's y now i'm looking at other alternatives...noppoo...i don't quite like the name XD
