Looking for MKB:
- Around RM300 (+/- RM50)
- MX Brown/Red
- TKL
- Letters backlit (can turn on/off)

CM Storm Quick Fire Stealth, does this has letters backlit?
Ducky, erm any that fits the above condition?

I'm kinda cheapskate but needs something for my little gaming experience, been using laptop style scissors type for many years, looking for something that will last a bit of rough gaming.
Should I save more for Ducky Shine? Above RM400? I live in Kuching, Sarawak here and don't have any shops that I can demo those good keyboards. *sigh* Hopefully I can buy online and not regret of what I bought.

Thank you all for your time.

Ducky Zero and CM Storm Stealth is a good choice but no backlit. If you can survive with laptop keyboard, than you shouldn't have problem with non backlit keyboard.

I will get Filco TKL locally instead of Ducky. Costar stab along with Filco quality, that will be enough for me to not look at Ducky. Plus for long session gaming, 60% or TKL better since they consume less space and less strain to your shoulder.

But if you think LED is the most important thing in mechanical keyboard, you have limit your self.

Oh... thanks for your info, anyway I have search the Filco, also don't have LED and also inquiry for pricing right now, see it can fits my bill or not.
Anyway how about CM Quick Fire TK? It has red LED but only limit to MX Red, erm, really can't decide between MX Red or Brown cause never tested a real mechanical keyboard before. icon_question.gif Don't know the feels of MX Brown and Red.
Well, if possible I want a side print keycap so it won't wear out in long term (cheapskate.. sweat.gif )

Searching through GeekHack and found this keyboard actually has similar layout as my laptop keyboard; Keycool 84.
Anyone here using or used this keyboard before? I saw the review for the MX Black is quite interesting, any thoughts?
Had searched Lowyat Garage, Lelong and Ebay Malaysia does not has this item, and needs to ship from either China or HK.

Side note,  low budget but want TKL can get Ducky Shine Rm269 from impulse. You can buy and do paint mod too. Top up rm100, get premium filco.
