justnits I want to fill up the form, but not sure if I need the tsangan kit. QFR need?

QFR only needs Mods + Alphas set. Unless u have custom or other kb with winkeyless layout then u will need tsangan kit for the modifiers part.

Hahahaha okay, I'll take your word for it. Guess most boards are aesthetics on the outside and crappy on the inside.

What would be your favourite board of all time? Or at least one which you think is the best.
*
Full size and TKL keyboard users, just grab standard layout will definitely benefit for changing keycaps to a better quality or appearance one.
Unless budget limited and u need some special layout like 75% or TK, then it will be different story.

No. Its the complete opposite.
People who don't need to type much everyday or type slowly and poorly do not need a mechanical keyboard. Any RM20 cheap rubber dome will do since they type so slow anyway. Don't waste money on mkb if you fall into that category.

People who use it for work like me find cheap rubber domes need more finger pressure because of the need to constantly bottom out. The biggest defect of rubber dome is the jiggly feel which causes mistakes while typing semi fast or fast. Then rubber domes wear down faster and the feel changes and keys bind even though it still works because the stabilization is poor (or missing). There are good rubber domes in the past like the Dell quietkey but its discontinued and scissor switched keyboard which are hard to find so the only choice for serious typists are mkb.

Again, if you don't type much, stick to cheap rubber domes since you'll never wear it out anyway.
*
A very wrong concept, not all ppl are typist. Yet, I believe all ppl do have the choice at least to choose what they want unless budget restricted.
Say, if u type on mech kb its really superior of the feeling as compared to a cheap rubber dome kb by long term. Most ppl cant really tell how they feel by just testing a few times. You will only feel sux in case u pick a wrong switch that doesn't suit u.
This is also something similar like: human need to eat in order to live, but they can choose what to eat right ? Luxury or cheap food also very depending on personality, by nuff said: a gold in your eyes might just end up to be a sh** to the others.

I don't see why I was wrong since you yourself agree that a person who doesn't type that much can't tell the difference. It takes some training to type faster on a mkb to take advantage of the shorter travel. For a person who types slowly and doesn't need or want to improve their typing speed a rubber dome will be just as good. I agree that some of those people will just upgrade to a mkb just because it is 'expensive'.
*
I doesn't mean by "typing much" to tell the difference between rubber dome and mech kb.
I mean for the better feeling of typing on it over a long term of usage with a right switch.
Yes indeed its expensive but it is worth for, same goes as ssd vs hdd situation. It just need time to get ppl adopt to it by time.

what brand? When it comes to my budget. Keycool , cmstorm . Any recommended brand below rm 200 ah? Wanna ask yah, normally mech keyboards.. you all prefer to have num pad or dont want num pad?
*
This question very much depending on your preference and usage, not us since everyone is different.
If you want full functionality and easy access from numpad, get a full size.
If your table is small or u just want something small and probably easier to carry around, get compact size like TK, TKL or 60% layout.

Here's one from keycool, http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r....&id=21861795154
Only mx blue, while leopold one can pick switch u want.

Edit: leopold seems no mx brown and black. Anyway, still can mod it to any switch u like by desoldering and soldering.
