Any recommendations for cheapest mech keyboard?
*
you can opt for coolermaster quickfire rapid, or rosewills. those are budget keyboards with good quality. around 250-300, if you want lower.. can look for china keyboards, they are around 150-250 if im not wrong, but in the end, its better to opt for local items for warranty and stuff. : )

not too much diff. A bigger difference is the casing....

at the gathering i saw solid metal casings, very heavy. That is a bigger effect on the weight  hmm.gif  Good for home usage, but if lanning have to carry around alot, probably not kek  laugh.gif

My Ducky's plate is aluminium, but there is still some weight to it so the keyboard doesn't slide.
*
the difference is the case design and the limited quantity of it.

You can buy those Korean pcb and start from there, either that or use phantom pcb. But in your case, those Korean pcb is more ideal, since you want full LEDs.

Nojo your kmac happy bottom case heavy like brick.. tongue.gif
where can i find a blank TKL pcb? possible can put led as well.. i wanna do a custom case project.. blush.gif
or should i buy any TKL and start from there? my project would be a blue switch with a red led.. the case would be weight customizable (don't know this will make any diff in typing feeling or not) but a nice feature to have i think.. wanna travel --> loose weight, wanna stationary --> gain weight laugh.gif
will incorporate contras engraving style (something like below pic):
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

still an early stage project.. will have to wait quotation from my friend.. everything is still on paper.. if everything is good i will ask my friend to release some prototype drawing first for reviewing from fellow sifus..

RM600 excluding shipping is acceptable. But you mean get from Taobao is it? Or build one by one? Oh no... I can't view Taobao website for now. Since my internet goes down, I "borrow" school internet and I get " Access is Denied " by MOE. doh.gif
Honestly I can feel the force pulling me for aluminum case but not in the nearest time. So far plan to paint the case until I can afford a better case.

60% layout is always worth it, since it is rare, so the value is always there (though the market is pretty niche).

After mod here and there, you can jack a bit of price here and there too.

Not kastam enough? Grab a hammer case, new alu plate, new keycaps, new LED, basically you have a custom keyboard nao.  whistling.gif

Soon will be common liao, almost everyone likes 60%. (Not me of course!)

Rm700 still good? Or any goody custom around this price?
When we get custom, are we free to mod the stab e and LED etc? Thinking of 87 or 60% with LED and Costar stab. But my budget, sad.gif.

Buy my Phantom, and buy Universal TKL plate from skye for costar stabs, voilah. brows.gif

Guys do keyboard warranty covers sunken key? It does not bounce back anymore sad.gif

Btw its Razer Lycosa.

Lycosa is not a mechanical keyboard, but I think you could do that. Try message the people you bought it from? Where did you buy it?

Vintage blue got any different with new blue? like more pronounced tactile click?

More crisp, and vintage blues are more durable, and higher quality, especially those on a dolch board.
