So, currently which mechanical keyboard are you interested in?
Rosewill?
*
yeah... the cheapest one sweat.gif
looking to invest more if it can last for at least 30 years drool.gif

edit:
but in the end it is still kinda hard for me to decide whether to invest more into the keyboard.
im changing my mouse and mousepad at the same time (played dota alot recently, and my mouse is about to die soon),
and the spare money i have, i'll use it on either keyboard or a headset.

I remember legacy IBM model M keyboard last more than 20 years. Nearly 30 years and still ongoing its lifespan.
I'm not prophet that know any keyboard that last for 30 years.
As I want to recommend keyboard:
Full layout: Rosewill
TKL: Filco MJ2 (I do owned 1 myself)
60% layout: Poker 2

Is this Filco majestouch 2? i googled but i found nothing  rclxub.gif

edit:
I figured out this is the last keyboard i will ever buy unless i built a second computer.
So, i increased the budget to unlimited as long as it is worth buying and durable and last me at least 30years (is this too much to expect?)
recommendations?
oh and, ABS or PBT key caps?
*
30 years? shocking.gif

Better get an IBM model M, proven to last 20+ years... sweat.gif

But on serious note, Filco is among the best non-custom board you can get. And with adequate amount of switches and keycaps to swap and replace, it theoretically can last 30 years too.

first page don't have PolyCarbonate (PC) and PC-PBT keycaps materials explanation.   sad.gif
*
PC is normally used in backlit board, similar to ABS (backlit keycaps are either PC or ABS). Where the keycaps feel isn't exactly a concern there as the surface is coated.

Regarding the feel, I didn't had any personal experience on it. But I think it should be similar to ABS, and on the more slippery and oily side.

1. buy spare micro-switches for mice from taobao
2. disassemble the mice
3. desolder, swap and resolder the old switches
4. ????
5. FUUUU, never had chance to change mice again!!!!

Well. A mkb can last as long as it is as long there are parts for replacement.
Lets say u buy custom.
pcb rosak u can swap while switches still can move over.

of course u cant expect a mkb works for years without maintaining.
is like asking people buy merc and expect it run 30yrs without problem.

Since u type or use a lot on the keyboard, i bet the fonts disappear of stock keycaps (ABS) very fast and keycaps shinny too.
Then why dun spend RM200 or RM300+ to get PBT Dyesub/Doubleshot keycaps that is more durable than ABS.

of course when I say last for at least 30 years, I'm already expecting myself to maintain and switch keycaps. that's the main reason I'm getting a mechanical keyboard as well.

rosewill which model? any mechanical keyboard can be customised?

Since you are aiming for long lasting keyboard, like I previously suggested, go for Filco or IBM Model M.

i got a few polycarbonate + abs doubleshot caps.
the side surface of the cap is of course, smooth and slippery. the top surface is textured.

Also like I suggested, double or multiple clicking problem is easily fixable by replacing the old switches.
