if equal mixture of fps, dota and typing, what switch would be preferable?
I always had browns in mind, but just testing the feel of the switches at the shop for 10mins doesnt give me enough info to make a decision.
*
i do play a variety of games genre and a decent amount of typing.
my favourite switch is still blue and modified black switch.

but when playing racing game with keyboard, i prefer black switch over blue.

and like i always mention to anyone asking for preferred switch, you gotta try it for yourselves.
individual preferences is different.
like how some ppl like ppl who is of different skin colour, some like their partner fat...

Hi! i'm new to mechanical keyboards, and i'm looking to get one for gaming (CS:GO) I was wondering why is the Corsair K65 mechanical keyboard not reccomended on this thread? I've heard alot of good reviews about it, but no mention here on this thread! D:
*
simply because they don't support standard layout to satisfy one of our most loved customisation, keycaps changing.
that itself is good enough to be cast off from our consideration over here icon_idea.gif laugh.gif

1. Spacebar is uncommon
2. LED easily dies out

//Correct me if im wrong sweat.gif

1. true, spacebar size is 6u, whereas standard layout's spacebar size is 6.25u and/or 7u.
2. ini i tarak tau...i think most LED can die out also regardless of what keyboard haha

noobkialol

how about answering this simple questions;
budget?
what size? 60%, tenkeyless, or fullsize?
what type of games you normally play a lot?

i suppose you are looking for it to mainly use for gaming so i am assuming LED and probably brown or linear switch.

Hi guys, I need to buy a new entry level MKB for office use. The last time I came to you for advice, you guys recommended the QFR. That was a awesome recommendation. But now that I can't find QFR anymore, can you guys recommend another low priced MKB?

Not interested in the RK9000, as I'm looking for TKL. Oh, please don't recommend non-Cherry MX keyboards.

Thanks in advance.
*
what's your budget?
very hard to know what you mean by low price since different people have different interpretation of 'low price' sweat.gif

there's the latest QFR-i which is currently at RRP RM399 (but i've seen a few at garage sales and some retail shops selling lower than that)

otherwise cheaper options would be
Ducky Zero DK2087 TKL which is about RM269 (referring to heavy-arm's store)

Thanks so much for the reply, and sorry for my late one, was on campus and became really busy with work/studies to even surf lyn sad.gif

so the main reason you do not reccomend the keyboard is due to the lack of customisation? The K65 is not backlit, and I am looking for an entry level mkb to game on the go between campus and home. I do not own a desktop computer, so the 80% layout seemed to make more sense to me. I also do not plan on going to any dark cc's to play anytime soon, so that is why I decided not to go for a backlit version.

Also, keycaps are expensive! a quick survey of LYN and its keycap pricing shows that it's about 1/3 the price of the actual keyboard! (the K65 is about RM3xx, and the caps are about RM100 for full keycap set!!) so I don't think I can splurge on the keycaps just yet   sweat.gif

After all this would you still recommend corsair? or would you still prefer another brand such as the ducky zero series?
*
regarding keycaps, think about it this way, if so happens that one of your keys plastic broke or your wasd and spacebar shine so badly that it looks ugly, you'll have a hard time finding a replacement keycaps later on.
and when the time comes, you'll start looking for replacement keycaps, and then you'll come across pretty looking keycaps set along the way, then you start kena getting poisoned by it.
but when you finally want to buy them (after thinking a lot of times and saving money) you realized that the CTRL ALT SPACEBAR row doesn't fit your keyboard...why? because your keyboard isn't standard layout, which we have warned long long time ago before you bought that keyboard but you didn't listen to us and go for that K65 keyboard.
then u start to regret and look for ways to sell your keyboard but nobody wan to buy from you because your keys spoil already or look ugly with the shine.
after that, you kena lowball, buy so expensive but can only sell below RM100. then you have to buy a new keyboard again with the money you saved for the keycaps.
then by the time you have enough money for that keycaps, the groupbuy already over or no more extra sets or you have to pay even more extra because people resell them at higher value.

moral of the story is, all this can be avoided if you have any of the following;
a) you listen to our recommendation since day 1
b) your bank account damn besar
c) run away when you can
d) you don't fancy keycaps

life is not fair, but sometimes, to elevate that, you need to be smart a bit.
my dua sen.

also, if your budget allows, get filco tkl or ducky zero tkl if you have tighter budget.
