Money is not an option since it wouldn't exceed 1k budget, right? Before I look through those recommended Mkb, mind explain what's the difference between TFL, 60% layout and full size Mkb?

is it appropriate to use it for gaming?


The only Mkb I've heard of is Ducky Shine , their keyboard very nice looking (the pink one)

So, will recommend those mechanical keyboard <1k for you. There are mechanical keyboard >1k, easily hit 1k mark when the mechanical keyboard is custom.
I never heard of TFL. For common layout are full layout, TKL (Tenkeyless), and 60%.

Full layout. - Recommend: Ducky Shine 3


TKL(Tenkeyless) - Recommend: Filco Majestouch 2 TKL


60%. - Recommend: Vortex Poker II


Which layout you like?

Yup. MKB can used for intensive gaming.
Do you mean this pink limited edition Ducky?

Hi guys, I am going to buy the first ever mkb in my life

Need some advices here.

I am buying a mechanical keyboard for normal gaming purpose. Currently I managed to find some 2nd hand keyboards in forum with few months of warranty left but I also found some completely new keyboard at cheaper price from taobao but without warranty.

I am planning to do some modding on my keyboard after I have enough budget for it too.

Which should I choose?

Here, choose the one for Poker2.

Used keyboard normally will had shiny/worn keycaps.

Lurk for a longer time in garage sale, from time to time, there will be used mech kb at around half of the original price.

Else, getting chinaboards from taobao is also fun, since many of them is actually very diy friendly, with holes and circuit for LED modding.

Siapa mau buy custom moded can pm me also

WHY U SELL UR VINTAGE?

Kakaka takkan I desolder all and put brown back

Duck Light Saver96
If got affordable people, will help you promote

anyone selling full 104 keycaps? PBT

i wonder what mouse you guys use, with a awesome mech kb must go with a awesome mouse

What a misleading video...The term he used should be 45cN not 45gram...

Maybe for layman to easily understand I think, since 45cN(centinewtons) is ~ 45gf(gramforces).
Newtons to gram forces are inter-convertable.

Razer Mamba 2012(Right) + Magic Mouse(Left Mouse).

a keyboard enthusiast doesn't mean need to have a good mouse...since there's a high chance that all his/her funds are put into keyboard and can only afford RM10 mouse

i'm using Logitech G500 though...i fixed the left click microswitch button before...and i got 4 microswitches ready to replace them! >.<

The real keyboard enthusiast don't use mouse only keyboard.

Razer Ouroboros with Artisan Shiden XSOFT Snow White L mousepad, a little disappointed with the mouse
