So what's the cheapest mech keyboard with red backlight? Don't need full size

Can get anything around RM3XX? Any lubang?

Edit: I noticed the CM Quick Fire Ultimate Red backlight from lingloong for RM335 only

The trigger Z has a bigger keyboard base (which makes it look more spacious) and THERE'S A PALM REST!!! Only RM385

Might go for Trigger Z

like i said cm storm older keyboard are non standard layout means hard to find replacement keycpas if you are fine with that than go ahead if not ask cyntrix tech about the shine tkl
i dont think leds colour matters since it can be change you just put on the leds cover that i show you earlier white is the safest among all

parking, please check my siggy guys.

CM Storm Rapid-I RM350~360, but lack of mx red & black iinm.

i do have one TKL black plate, dont know from which keyboard i had,

the black one? stock one ah? looking for ss ones :/

Looks like for below RM400, CM is probably the only option for Red backlit keyboard.

CM Storm Rapid I vs Trigger Z vs QuickFire Ultimate ?

I know that Rapid I uses white LED whereas Trigger Z only has Blue LED on Blue caps (My preference is BLUE switch) but if the cost of moding the LED colour is reasonable, I might go for it, which depends on you guys experience between the 3 choices

I heard that Quickfire Ultimate uses lower quality keycaps?

just got my Corsair K70 RGB keyboard mx browns. first mech keyboard.

Cm storm latest cherry mx keyboards is the rapid -I so i think that would be a better choice and the cheapest way to change leds is led caps i told you earlier http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r...728&abbucket=11
rapid i do have more lighting mode and solid build quality

i think you can pre order the ducky shine TKL but you need to contact cyntrix tech to do so

Anyone knows if I can get switch stickers from taobao ? If so which option should I look for. I tried typing in but some random cute stickers appeared.
I know techkeys has it but it's too expensive and gon only has the red option.
Just wanna see if there's other alternative

I was actually looking for the exact thing. As in I saw that pic and the dude's name is hc3277738 from EC.
Oh wells. Sucks that I'm such a banana.
Thanks again tho !

for the led cover can bought for how much ?convert to rm ?

Sorry, didn't really know how it works...I mean the link you sent about the LED caps?

So at the bottom of each cap, there's an LED? If so, then how to connect all the electric circuit when I get the key caps. I always thought the LED lights are provided by the keyboard base, not the key caps.

Edit: I think I know how it works already, it's basically putting a coloured piece of plastic just above or next to the white backlight:

I can't read Chinese, so is that 4.50 Yuan for 1 key cap? So changing the entire keyboard layout will cost a bomb?

Can't find any info about the Ducky Shine TKL? I hope it's below RM400 as that's my budget

Thanks for bearing with me

450RMB for 10 of a colour I think

The led is mounted on the switch itself and not the keycap. You don't have to connect anything. As you said its just removing your keycaps and putting a colored piece plastic above it.

Theres alot of keycaps in taobao for different prices. Search for 键帽 in taobao and look for yourself. If youre using chrome, right click and translate to english. though not accurate, think you'd understand.

Edit: I see you mean the led shades, its ¥ 4.50 / 10 pieces. Assuming youre on a TKL board it would be 9 x 4.50 = 40.5 yuan.

Shine 3 TKL you gotta order from cyntrix idk how long wait time but its Rm399.

I'd get the Shine 3 TKL if i were in your shoes.

Thanks. I think the intensity of red colour if I were to use red led covers, wouldn't be that high right? Would be as good as those pure red backlit keyboards?

Ohhh so it's only 40.5 Yuan which is pretty reasonable

Actually, what's great about the Shine 3 TKL? RM399 is higher than my budget but it's worth considering if it's good. Let's say compare it with the CM Trigger I

I'd most likely go for Blue switch or Brown if it's ok with me. I like the clicky feel

Edit: Ohh Shine 3 TKL has blue switch with red backlight http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index....ct_detail&p=544

It's interesting because if I get a white backlight, I can easily alternate between white backlight or red backlight by using red led covers, so in a way, I can choose between red or white! But if I were to choose red, I can only get red. I could probably get white LED if I were to do some modding? But that is another question alltogether

So I managed to sell my ThinkPad USB keyboard with TrackPoint and TouchPad for us$80 and use the money to buy my first Korean custom, 2TU with MX Blue for us$110. Is 2TU consider Korean custom? Very excited for it!
