Hi, I am new (poisoned) to mechanical keyboard, I am looking for a MKB for gaming such as cs go, currently have my eye on CM Storm Quick Fire TK Mechanical brown switch for around rm300, is it okay? my budget is rm200-rm300, or should I go for razer tournament edition 2014?
*
What if I told you both also don't get? sweat.gif
TK : non-standard layout
Razer: cloned switch (poor reliability) - Razer fans said is cherry compatible not clone or fakes icon_idea.gif

For your budget, I would recommend you Ducky Zero TKL which in your budget.

Psst, someone is just making me do it  sweat.gif

I wanted another signature, but I can't at the moment.

Fine then; what is the 'budget' mech keyboard at the moment?

(Seriously, laptop keys are killing me).

You can register another lyn account and surf these serious forum.
Decent mechanical keyboard price is more than RM300. Or you may get below the stated price if you get 2nd hand.
Filco Majestouch 2, Ducky Shine, CM Storm QFR-i.

I also type using laptop built-in keyboard right now.

You can check the first page of the recommendation keyboards.

hmm..is cm storm quickfire-i a good choice if compare to majetouch 2? the warranty cover LED? their price range was very near.

too bad filco majetouch 2 TKL brown switch out of stock for now from hikari85.
*
Ya, good if you like LED.
The limited warranty covers LED if under manufacturing defects like LED failed prematurely.
Warranty do not covers act of God, accident, water, fire, earthquakes etc.

If you don't like LED, then go for Filco.

In my pref, Filco still better than CM qfr-i.

i guess this build makes sense, if you rather keep your hands further apart when typing  hmm.gif

also the other benefit is it physically separates the left and right hand typing to make it much easier. for me, sometimes i mess up qwerty style typing, because a finger from 1 hand actuates a key which should have been actuated by the other. happens because keyboard is close together so accidents happen if your a newbie like me  sweat.gif
*
It's a very good build in terms of the layout.
I like the right Super key (should be 2x) placement, it's reachable by pinky finger of touch typists.
Very typist friendly compared to standard layout and other common layout.
Very practical keyboard. rclxms.gif

Not paint, the color integral is using anodizing of aluminum.
Definition of paint: Paint is any liquid, liquefiable, or mastic composition that, after application to a substrate in a thin layer, converts to a solid film.

For more info of anodizing..

welcome to the mkb club  nod.gif  i think now your ready to agree a mkb is just as useful a purchase as a performance gamers mouse.

but then again if i had a very low budget for pc it would still be prioritizing my pc rig purchases in this order of importance....

1. cpu (somewhere close to highend but not the insane prices lelz...)
2. motherboard (most of the highend have features i don't use, so usually get mid to high rng depending)
3. ram (cheapest, doesn't need to the best just bang for buck n still good for gaming)
4. ssd hdd (this is a must for gamers these days. even regular use can benefit. prefer 512gb for the performance. 1tb is too expensive for now. sata3/m2/pcie or better.
5. gaming mouse (hard to play games without a good mouse.... but i wouldn't spend more then myr 300 for one (i've seen some priced 600+ which is insane for a hardware that tends to wear out fast).
6. monitor ( won't settle for anything less than ah-ips or better. tn gsync monitors 144hz+ r so expensive.... )
7. speakers (audiophile guilty as charged biggrin.gif always listen to flac)
8. mechanical keyboard (hadn't had hand issues due to typing on cherry mx brown. not to mention is better actuator for general and gaming usage.)
and even then i agree with you it's still subjective.... despite the science why mkbs r better, some people who had tried both (not people who discredit mkbs without even trying once at least) still say they prefer rubberdome, n thats ok. But i still wouldn't pay for a so called gamer rubberdome keyboard that is priced the same or very close to a mkb (doesn't make sense to me)  hmm.gif
*
Not sure whether we generalise and bias towards gamer rubber dome.
I checked the retails price tag of logitech g19 is USD 199 (RM699).
Guess they pay a lot for the keyboard features since the keyboard price is high.
They pay for the features not better keyboard typing experience.

I admit that typing on a general rubber dome is good. nod.gif
Still a good typing tool.

http://www.trustedreviews.com/Logitech-G19...Keyboard-review
seems to be old though. didn't their more recent gaming keyboard models become mechanical keyboards  hmm.gif

kinda surprised trying to sell a rubberdome at 699... seems over priced  rclxub.gif
yeh sidewinder rubberdome was the most acceptable back in its heyday.
PS: can't live without my ducky multimedia keys for stop/play/change track for music  smile.gif
*
There is newer edition called G19s, still that price range. laugh.gif
It's a pro gaming rigs.

Too bad, I'm no longer can use such general rubber domes (need bottom-out every keystrokes) for long period.
Will trigger my soon to be CTS, RSI etc.
For my better health, I still prefer mechanical rubber dome like Topre, or Cherry.
So, I can type longer without any pain. thumbup.gif

But, on your Signature, I read you're having many MKBs in your current possession. This is a sign of WEALTHINESS.
I personally, bought and used 4 MKBs since July of 2014 but, I sold 2 of them off.  tongue.gif

Now, thinking to sell off my Ducky Shine 4 too... Not sure yet. Maybe not, maybe yes.

Wang Terminal free.
Ducky Shine then another BMini, not expensive compared to shitty cap ular. nod.gif
