Veterans here already given you the pointer of the top few keyboards that everyone should get.
Instead of keep asking random questions, I think you should digest other people opinions and recommendation first.
Then only ask from that point.

Specific questions to choose keyboard:
1. What is your budget?
2. Layout you need? Full-size? TKL? 60%? or custom layout?
3. Switches you like? MX Red, Black, Brown, Blue, Topre, Buckling Spring? or uncommon switches?
4. Do you need LED?

Hi guys, got myself my first mechanical keyboard last year(Ducky G2 Pro, full layout Cherry MX Blue) and still happy with it. Now looking to get a second one for office use so I will give my description according to the questions above. Also, actually I think I will go for Filco Majestouch 2 but stock for that with Cherry MX Browns may not be readily available in most places and I would also like to see if I can get better options from sifus here.

1. What is your budget? No more than RM500
2. Layout you need? Full-size? TKL? 60%? or custom layout? Full layout
3. Switches you like? MX Red, Black, Brown, Blue, Topre, Buckling Spring? or uncommon switches? Cherry MX Brown
4. Do you need LED? Nope, as office is well lit.

I korek back the my old posts just now.. brows.gif
I think you can go for Filco (wait for MX Brown stock) then replace the keycaps with PBT (for pure typists)
or go for Ducky Premier (similar to G2 Pro, just updated bi-color PBT). laugh.gif

Both are recommended if you going for Full-Layout.

Note: MX Brown is light, worried can't satisfy you in the beginning. brows.gif

can explain abit?
and also tell me which cherry mx is suit my situation.

After so many days, finally see today you asking real question instead of continue spamming random questions. smile.gif

If you type more than actual gaming, you will need tactile switch like MX Brown.
The tactile bump on each actuation give you feedback to let you know you type the key or not.
It's very important for typing and touch-typing as well.
So, your recommendation is MX Brown.

Why not MX Blue (Clicky + Tactile)?
Because you buy to use in working place, clicky sounds are enjoyable only for owner.
But annoying for co-workers. So, MX Blue is out of the list.

Why Filco Majestouch 2 TKL and not Ducky Zero?
Because Filco Majestouch 2 (Made in Taiwan) is the best keyboard brand among all OEM MX Cherry keyboard.
Ya, it's the best in the world for OEM.
The unrivalled quality and offered best typing feel.
All quality, no gimmicks.
Meanwhile, Ducky Zero (Made in China) is just a step below the Filco.
Not forget to mention Filco uses costar stabilizers on those longer keys, better to press compared to Ducky Zero (cherry stabilizers).
You need to clip cherry stab to perform like costar.

In conclusion, Filco Majestouch 2 TKL MX Brown.

Picture below is just illustration purpose.

I used to have Round 4 and Penumbra. Didn't like them and sold both off at the cost I bought. They are beautiful, but not very practical.

I already wait for 1 year. Hopefully it is soon
Too tall keycaps. some people not used to it.
Plus korean boards have this ridiculously high back, that means your finger have to arch more.

I see. I think only apply for those ppl that rest their palm, which make SA not comfortable to type on.

My habits when typing, are hanging my hands in the air. sweat.gif
That's why I will ask such questions why not practical, because high profile, OEM, Cherry same for me. sad.gif

Try lifting the back feet of your keyboard and type with hands hanging.
That is how the Duck Viper is designed, with both back kick stand permanently in place  rclxub.gif
Took me one week to get used to it

I guess SA also the same. The profile that I can't get used to, at all, is the DCS.

I don't life the back feet, because it will strain my hands' nerve. laugh.gif <-- tried before
Not ergonomics. laugh.gif
So, won't do that, because it will cause my future carpal tunnel syndrome more critical.

Currently,all filco yellow brown switch seemed to be out of stock. Do you guys think ducky shine 4 is a good alternative? I do like the backlight but scared it would burn very fast. What do you think?

Filco yellow is just the yellow color keycaps with black case.
Still got other same black case Filco to choose from.

Yea.. Not plan to buy another keycap so soon.. Pbt full set keycap usually would cost up how much? smile.gif

What do you think of blue switch? The sound really so annoying? Sorry it is my first mechanical keyboard.
*
Even you not planning to get keycaps soon, still have a lot of different Filco with black case.
PBT keycaps set cost around RM100 for keycool to RM500 for BSP (est.).

It's annoying to co-workers or your surrounding people, not annoying to users.
