Hey all! I would really like to try a mechanical keyboard.. but unfortunately I dont have the budget to spend over RM2xx on a keyboard =\

Are there any other alternatives (e.g. second hand?) to obtain one at a lower price?

What is your exact budget?

Most mechanical keyboards go for over RM200.
Even used ones are not that cheap. This is because mechanical switches last long, the only thing that gets worn is the key caps. And you can replace them making the keyboard look brand new.
