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