Since it is so hard to find one.

I try to change my mind. Any TKL keyboard without LED with standard layout. Ignore the price first. I try to consider. :'(

Got it. Any recommendations for ALPS keyboards?

Not sure, but ducky and leopold do sell some alps keyboards at cheap price.

Few days ago, someone even posted one China brand alps that cost only 99RMB.

You want it locally available right? If so then we only recommend CM QF Rapid for your budget.

If you consider import from taobao, then add in keycool, plum, hpe and bla bla bla, hell lots more.

Not worth the hassle.

Like we say, you simply need to bank in the money to the taobao agent and they will in charge of the purchasing and shipping to your door step. If you passed through other's hand, more shipping price will be incurred.

We can spoonfeed you with the link of seller if you not sure where to find,
PBT白色版青轴
¥349(+12 for shipping)
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10....&id=13489990164
You may even get some keycaps together with the keyboard as keycaps will be very light and small, so doesn't take up much space or weight (since you are preparing 2kg of postage, and ship only a 87tkl, there will be a little space/weight left to bought extra keycaps).
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10....&id=15487989187

The worse rate should be around 1RM to 1.75RMB. Shipping is 2kg. Total should be under RM240 shipped.

Wow! should print screen. Thx!!! Btw, what bank huh? i only got cimb T_T
and still i can find the LED one if the price is like that  blink.gif  So niceeeee

Those agent minimumly 3 banks one, LOL.

CIMB should be fine. Else, you can bank in your note in sum of x10 to them also, just they can't or hard to refund you the change.

For the LED one, the price become steeper at around RM320 shipped, which also exceeded your budget.

For some reason, the F104 seems to be able to adapt to both different spacebar, thats a weird one. Maybe cause the different between the 2 is only 1mm something.

kbt oni pbt ver. is normal/thin type. poker 2 is the thick one.
and pbt ver dont support led eventhough it has led holes for every switch.
*
You verified it with whose? Also, LED holes but don't support backlit? They go to the extend of manufacture a different PCB just to prevent ppl to DIY backlit themselves?

Time to do some amendment to the 1st page. Feel sorry for those who had bought it and disappointed for all those differents from what we first guessed...

USB cant NKRO afaik, only PS/2

the simplest full sized keyboard you can try is Rosewill RK-9000 at RM269

comes in MX Brown, Blue, Red and Blacks rclxms.gif

this keyboard is not backlit, have standard layout so future keycap changes in hassle free. detachable USB cable as well and compatible with PS/2

and oh did i mention its only RM269?

link for reference

Most Chinaboards and modern gaming board (after 2012) have usb NKRO or at least 10KRO. In fact my PLUM96 can even do NKRO under wireless mode.

Rosewill is good choice, but no usb NKRO (not that much important actually).

Filco also the same as Rosewill, no USB NKRO (+ the price much higher).

If you even more tight with budget, can actually try some chinaboards too, cheap and good. Some forumers are even letting go their chinaboards, which should be even cheaper.

Apparently ONI PBT ver. is lacking this LED controller in its board.
If LED ver it has 2 controller, 1 is main 1 is LED.
The PBT version I saw has only main controller.
The LED one look like this
