The guys with broken TK is me.....seems this OEM is not super reliable also - especially when it comes to backlight quality. Their QC with Corsair is better. I remembered reading about widespread G710 backlight failures also.

Having said all that - CM is a very experienced mech KB builder (with a guys who is very active on GeekHacks), so I thought maybe that's safe. Seems like they still have QC escapees (I actually worked in production before - something completely different, but QC really depends on culture and discipline. If a company has it - they'll be good, which is why I guess Costar is revered as an OEM. If you don't have it - you end up being iOne).

You're free to spend your RM300 - it's yours anyway. I bought the QF TK after spending 3+ weeks following threads here and Geekhacks building up my knowledge (getting slightly poisoned along the way). The way I see it - I like gaming in the dark, so backlight is necessary (also cool to show off to ppl). You must also accept that the mod row (spacebar etc), cannot be replaced. So if the painting there ever fades - you'll have to buy a new keyboard (or harvest the keycaps from a 2nd hand keyboard).

And...I'm also stuck with having to RMA a spoilt keyboard and now I'll likely spend RM300+ again to buy yet another keyboard unsure.gif

worse is - I really have no time to go shopping around.....so now I'm just lurking around and hoping some forumers here have a MX Brown TKL that they're willing to let go..... brows.gif

Sad case man... I just got my TKL too recently to release it back into the wild.

btw, can i know, does CMStorm TK keycaps can be modified? if can, i rather choose it, since the price is only rm320 and the quality build is good. No one compain it. Need you commend  brows.gif

Well so far from my experience about TK is quite good for the build quality. Its the first mech kb i own also after surveying for awhile.
Its heavier than i expected when i get a hold on it. And i also tried to stretch it like youtube video shown and it really no flex.
Imo, picking a kb is very depending on which what type of layout u get used to and how does the size matter on your usage.
Personally i need a kb that features as similar layout as my previous one since i need numpad and arrow keys with compact size coz table is small.

It depends mainly on your preference sweat.gif , as long as u can get used to its layout.
Though the only downside is some keycaps can't be replaced easily due to non-standard layout.
If u only need the arrow keys or TKL, u can turn off num lock and it works that way.

Here's the cons I think that may bother some users but i'm ok with since i ady get used to this layout after 2h of usage:
1. Brightness on F12 (Win Lock) and FN keys can't be adjusted
2. When LED turns on, FN and F12 keys won't light up unless u activate it.
3. When num lock is on, LEDs on num keys "2 0 00 and ." are off.

And one last thing is the arrow keys will light up and can't turn off when its in cursor mode and num4 = del key and num6 = page down etc.

Since it and quite a lot other sellers still put the free a set of white keycaps in their thread, I guess it is still on.

To be sure, try double confirm with the sellers b4 placing your order.
