If the soldering is loose can be re-soldered or if the USB connector is broke, can be replaced.
Well, as for finding the parts in Malaysia, I'm not so familiar, maybe 0168257061 guru can help.

A good link to have a look at the "common" issue of RK-9000.

Ah, that Fn, I use it darn lots in my office, for the function keys as well, just feel a bit frustrated sometimes due the fact I need to press at least 3 keys to work.
Shift + arrow keys (Fn + W,A,S,D)
Holding Shift > End (Fn + . [period]) > arrow keys, 3 keys with simultaneous reaching for the forth key.

So, the finger is much busier than the normal TKL layout, but typing this is a breeze, so much gooding and feels with the MX Brown... in office.

Are you using Filco with fixed wire on the back of the kbd? If so then yeah, quite crumblesome, why not just left it? Scare kenak stolen? Doubt anyone will notice it can actually buy 50 of their keyboards, LOL
Anyway if it's detachable, might as well order extra from justnits, save the trouble... just a slight more.

For me I'm plugging in and off my laptop and Poker 2 everyday, won't feels trouble though cause I just like this feeling when I'm typing right now.
Newer laptop rubber dome feels even weird and stiff... MX Brown feels much better, just louder when I bottom it out...

Oh, I'm actually using my Poker 2 with its stock PBT at work, the bottoming feels is almost similar due to the thick PBT I think, feels much solid than the thin ABS that I used to have with Filco (only few days though) and with Taihao Olevetti, not to say I didn't love the double-shot but thin ABS just couldn't do it for me, if I got enough dough, I'll probably just source for Dyesub or Double-shot PBT, the later is hard to source and expensive as hell though.

If I have dough, I can have SP do it for me, but I wonder how is the quality if they put Dyesub PBT on their Dolch counterpart of which is Double-shot ABS... Will the font looks as good as the Double-shot?
Their Dolch's font is one darn fine font... that will be my future reference...

And... I like Cherry profile more, but if there's lower profile keycaps, I may just fall for it.. hahaha

First time MKB? Take MX Brown (50g actuation), no-brainer switch, you'll like it better than your current one, MX Red however is much less actuation force however it may be too light if you used to the rubber dome, it's seriously light.
As for your budget, it's a bit harder to get good build Full Layout, Filco 104 should be around RM469?
Ducky can be cheaper but as you want the best build material, it's Filco to go, no LED no other shit, just pure switches and plate gooding, one hell darn heavy MKB to boot.

Different people different taste? I got Filco and I never regret it, but as for the stock ABS keycaps is of course not so nice, I fall in love with PBT and it's one hell hard to source and expensive as its can get.
Anyway if you have chance to test it out, go ahead, but I can tell you the different of Filco MX Brown vs my Poker 2 MX Brown, it's very slight different but one should be able to notice it once they type between both.
Filco's MX Brown IMO is smoother, less tactile and probably less resistance, feels like 48g than 50g on Poker2, the tactile on Poker2 is more pronounce, you can actually feel its presence then Filco's equivalent, I'm not sure what makes them such difference but it's there, but I don't think such subtle difference will make any different in gaming, I'm bottom it out anyway when I game.

Yeah, Brown FTW, Blue for the "true lover".

What? You gonna roll Justnits's cable?
It's freaking thick, 26AWG cable and the sleeve is nylon, you gonna destroy the sleeve by doing that.
And note the cable is really stiff as hell, it's unlike those phone cable which is soft and rubberish.

You can only coil those thin rubber coated cable, and those soft kind which is easier to roll into shape.
High quality such as one built by Justnits's is thick copper cable, if you know quality Ethernet cable, it's that kind, even I do have slight trouble trying to bend it to fit (due to shorter length ).

Topre user(s) in Kuching? Come poison me ler...
But, it will be very long will I switch to Topre, but we shall see...

I'm searching for them myself so I can't guarantee you can find any, the only few I know now having met them is only 3 person (met face 2 face), that's on keycaps and some entry MKB, no high-end Topre.
I think hmwgbworld has 1? I could be wrong, but doubt he has time for us to try that long...

Wow, I have hard time even with Poker 2, won't even dare to think about having even less... to deal with more fingers across the board.

No such layout
It's just to show it's DSA profile, any keys at any location/position.

Is the legend of Midnight set will glow-in-the-dark?

Any picture to show?

Oh... dark color not nice.. erm... 90% don't want to swap

Knobs can be sexy, like one in DAS keyboard.

Ducky wants to be retro mah...
Looks cool for retro but the keyboard too much modern already, need to use some retro keycaps like those SA profile and retro colors to make it.... but anyway it's Shine series so it's a failed product IOO (In Our Opinion, LOL)

Dial usually uses twist style to turn, knob usually refer to those resistor uses push to turn like those in the small electronic devices where analogue apply.
