You mean between Filco and my Poker 2? Definitely Filco, feels much solid and the MX Brown much silent, which is nice, but the extra space incurred is a bit nuisance at my working place so I use Poker 2 instead.
May try to adjust my table in the near future to accommodate at least TKL, less prefer on the Fn keys; can sometimes triggered the programming function accidentally.

I always thought of laptop with desktop MKB switches but wow... look at that!
Any side view for fat-ness show off?

Extra space for super triple SLi or Crossfire configuration? Or maybe dual-CPU?

Woah near 2 inches, that's freaking fat, includes the thin display unit right?
Can't find on Google using image search...

Gaming gonna have gaming "brand" in it to attract gamers, this is all marketing stunt.
At least it uses the much enthusiast recognized MX Cheery switches which is a plus.
Way to go Steelseries, don't destroy the MKBer dreams.

Only RM600, you're just getting started, I bought Filco TKL as my first MKB, then saw this amazing PBT keycaps, found he's from local as well (Kuching)... w00t!! Then another few hundred is gone, well that week was like.. RM800? haha...
Not yet include recent purchase, probably top RM300 without paying the postage as yet.
If you ask all the hardcore sifu here, 4 digit is the starting point, and the pit is bottom-less...

Wow, I like this:

and this:
https://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php...ds&pid=sl120_cs

Wonder if there's any interests for these 2 items.

Tried O-ring, not really reliable enough, probably due to I using the thick type which some keys either not registering or register multiple times, it's different with that padding, but there's not much review on that item, will do more research but just dreams if not much interest to GB from Elite Keyboard.

Yeah, wonder can open interest gather thread, no specific forum on this.

Need a GB for this, ordering 12 (per pack) is cheaper by lot.

Erm...
How much you bought yours? I may interested in another TKL but tight budget..
And yes, MX Brown for me...

Wow nice, just am about in tight budget for another TKL MX Brown

Ok... nvm...

I think I already confirm with him, erm.. hopefully he can let go to me with that price...

You will never find Filco with LED backlit, they're built for and intent for typist, thus unlike other "gaming" brand, there's no fancy nor extra features (not even a single Fn key; media, etc.) so it's just a normal keyboard.

p/s: The Filco 60% is exception.

256 color of RGB.

MX Brown is already lighter than most rubber dome (Topre aside) and it's way easier to actuate even, I came from laptop scissors, and it's even harder to actuate than MX Brown, and the consistency from MX switch is way better, for Cherry anyway, didn't tried Kailh so no comment on that switch.

1. Needs macro? (If yes then no need to answer the rest, just get what on your list)
2. Full Size (104-key)? or TKL?
3. Needs LED?
4. Pure typing? Gaming?
5. Maximum budget?
6. Actuation force? (Need to use more force or not to press a key)

If you enter MKB, us here is not gaming centric, most of us is gamer though we don't (really) recommend gaming branded MKB.
Most recommended OEM is Filco. TKL, Full size available. Simple, plain, no macro, no LED, no media keys, no extra features. Just one word, keyboard.
Needs LED? Ducky Shine, extra LED features, some media keys.
Needs more features? Cooler Master Rapid-i, fancy LED features, lots of media keys, only TKL size.

Budget for Filco is pretty standard, RM369 for TKL, RM399 for Full size.
Ducky Shine starts from RM3xx to RM4xx depends on the version, edition and size.
Cooler Master Rapid-i if not mistaken is RM399? (Correct me)

Either one can use for gaming, and depends on the switches you choose, it's either:
Lightest: MX Red
Middle ground: MX Brown
Slightly heavier: MX Blue
Much heavier: MX Black
Please have a look at first page for more detail on the switches.

There're more to the list, but those are most recommended in this thread.

Upgrade? Can only go Custom liao, can't go back already, all others are crappier than Filco.
Custom wise, most USB cable option is just like Poker II, left, middle or right side depends on the PCB and casing.

Need Custom sifus to continue with the rest of the story...

First timer? Care to read the first page?

That depends on your preference, 60% needs to press another key (Fn) to access the F1 to F12, and if Fn is hold, WASD will become arrow keys, Fn + Spacebar will activate Fn lock, so you won't need hold Fn key all the time.
I didn't play games on my previous 60% so I'm not sure how much does it affect gaming, it may or not affect depends on each playing style and keys usage.

Ask here? Most sifu will sure ask you to either wait for RMA (mostly 1 month+; if you're really into RMA thing) or just seek for soldering sifu to help you (void warranty).

My humble workspace, and my humble MKB.
