I don't think good mechanical keyboard come with the price below RM 300.
IF you need 1 with MX Green (click fetishism series), i think V60 paradise or CODE keyboard do offer keyboards with the switches but at a reasonable price.

Gaming keyboard are keyboard designed only for gaming which keys are arranged ergonomics to facilitate fast and efficient gaming process.
Keyboard like membrane, Razer switches, new logitech switches which stressed on shorter actuation distance etc are gaming keyboard.

If you prefer gaming keyboard, here is the link https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1510888

Mechanical keyboard are generally keyboard utilize mechanical switches (typically spring activated).
Mechanical keyboard more about quality of keyboard and typing experience.

Never heard of SteelSeries in this forum.

Mechanical keyboard just a want, not must have.
Corsair keyboard do have macro (extra keys).

What is your budget if you really plan to get another keyboard?

If you follow your friend's advice, then I hope you will enjoy your future mechanical keyboard.
For mechanical keyboard, the price range is from ~ RM300 (estimation on decent keyboard) to unknown RM16,400.
There is a lot of different switches available like buckling, alps, cherry, topre and etc.

You still can get after-market keycaps set. Of course, some of them are more expensive than a decent mkb. Some are affordable still.

ya. RM3xx can get fancy led. RM4xx imba fancy till you can customize the movement of LED.
Just give you some brand model name:
- Corsair RGB
- Ducky Shine 3
- Deck Hassium

You google and see whether you like it or not.

Ducky Shine 2 / 3 do have full layout.
Deck Hassium Pro also full layout.
Corsair RGB using latest cherry MX switches (MX RGB). Currently, only corsair using the latest switch.
We don't compare orange with apple.
Not going to recommend any taobao those, since recent months, those brands changed to kailh.

Different typing feel.
Some lighter, some heavier. Some has tactile, some linear, some clicky etc.
Depends on your preferences, what kind of switches feel you like.

DAS is not available in Malaysia.
So, he want buy in oversea.

I see.
Did you edit wrong picture? That picture is CM Storm Novatouch.
Novatouch is non-LED keyboard.

Seems Novatouch has conflicts of identity between of gaming and typing keyboard.

Not all switches are "born" to have talent for gaming. i.e buckling, heavy tactile switches etc.
Of course, they can used as a gaming switches if you insisted. But definitely not a good choice as it's not universal enough for all kinds of games.

On the other hands, linear switches are more gaming friendly as it do support most gaming type and facilitate gaming experience.

Novatouch (45g Topre) do provide a good typing experience with 4mm actuation distance (pretty long actuation). It's a good typing keyboard. Not more than that.

For gaming wise, there are always linear switches like Cherry MX Red, Black, and their variations.
If you curious about "linear" Topre. It's 30g Topre.

No good. Not worth.

I know older version 2013 are cherry mx. Don't think I'm sohai, my dear forummer.

Not worth.

I'm so sure, I don't love you at all.

Erm.. Your requirement stated that you want a x'mas tree alike and full layout.
So,
- Deck Hassium
- Ducky Shine 3
- K70 RGB

Deck and Ducky are decent keyboards. Recommended.

If you don't want LED, then I would recommend you Filco instead.

What's your budget? you never mention it.

god-tiers
russian, desko

peacock will sapu also ?

What kind of custom keycaps? Wish to know the definition of custom keycaps that you want.

I suggest you read the first page of the mkb thread.
You will see the recommended link there.
I would recommend taobao for some entry and practical level of keycaps.


Keyword:

正刻 - printed (front)

侧刻 - side-printed

无刻 - non-printed / blank

I like potato picture
Picture of the day

<<actually gold plate usb got what use?>>
No significant functionality use. Just anti-corrosion purpose.

<<any cap paint wont gone n forever can see?>>
Keycaps "printed" using doubleshot (abs) or dye sublimation (pbt) font won't wear off.
You need prepare at least RM 100 for entry level after-market keycaps for it.

The keycaps pricing varies from RM 100 to RM 4xx.

K70 RGB is RM599 not RM 4xx.


Please ignore K70 as it's lousy quality. What I mentioned again and again was K70 RGB
