EHLO guys~ new to this MKB club and also to this Lowyat Forum thingi...
I'm planning to buy a MKB but I'm quite out of budget right now... anyone can suggest me a MKB that's reliable and also cheap? Currently my budget below RM 250. I don't mind the normal looking KB but I do prefer the backlit LED KB. So please do poison me with all those KBs. Thank kiu. Replies are much appreciated!!! sweat.gif  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

From poor KB freak,

Derick

250 budget is a bit tight, or maybe, very tight.

maybe lurk in the second hand section for a bit?

Or if you want to get from taobao

http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r...728&abbucket=11

I bought mine from this guy along with some other stuff. Go to service noticeboard subforum and look for taobao agents and read their first page if you don't know how.

i tried the blacks (7g) and blue (QFR-i), and while theyre better than membrane keyboards, theres something not right with a 1 keyboard solution (the blues click actually made my gaming worse). i thought id make the plunge directly to the ultimate board and decided that fc660c layout would be it (not really into keycaps customization) and if i didnt like it, id go down instead of from the bottom up (price doesnt seem as staggering considering what i read about topre stock pbt keycaps, most of the cherry switches comes with abs and to replace the full board with pbt would consume another 100+ anyway)

i initially thought that tkl is my board but after i tried not using f-keys i realized how much i dont really need them (i only missed f2 rename and f5 refresh) but i was still dependent on arrow keys. so you can imagine how intrigued i was when i discovered 75% boards and then the leopold.

thats the reason. if i didnt like it, id sell it. the fc660c isnt common here and i figured if i fancy something else selling it wont be a hassle.

anyway how do you mediate from amazon jp to local mail service?
*
Lol buy pbt keycap set for cherry MX expensive. Shipping from Japan to Malaysia not expensive. Dik, ringgit value turun. Not good to import now unless you kaya.

Fc660c here macam no one bring in. Our sensei quovadis123 only bring in rf and hhkb

First time posting in mech kb thread... me --> noob so bear with any errors.

- initially got poisoned when someone talked abt custom korean kb, gatal2 wanted to try building myself one.
- cost very high, with tax and stuff can go beyond 1k+
- rethink about my situation and now sort of delay it to future.
- got idea fix what I have, a Razer BWU original.

- Problem with that BWU : 1) LEDs dying, at this time of typing this 5 LEDs are dead
                                      2) MX blue are noisy, wake up my mom easily at midnight
                                      3) Key switches felt inconsistent, like some have degraded after 3 years of use
                                      4) My sister complain kb like showing signs it is failing. Now I use laptop at college, basically my sis own that KB and pc d.  rclxub.gif
                                      5) Shiny acrylic top is fingerprint magnet, and it scratches.

- Ideas that have : 1) Buy new MX Brown switches, and change all the MX blues out
                            2) Change all the LEDs, maybe will change another colour, not sure. White?
                            3) Change out original spring to korean spring, I saw someone selling, but gold plated one don't  have. sad.gif
                            4) Add stickers to the switch as well
                            5) Lube all the new switches
                            6) Either polish that shiny acrylic top piece to shine or sand it down and coat with plastidip
                          * seems like most parts can be obtained from lyn seller
                 
- Why I do so : 1) Give me and my sister that smile when we type on it
                      2) Looks like a good weekend project (I think I can finish in one day)
                      3) Gain experience, have fun modding stuff, I like modding stuff  laugh.gif
*
I forgot where i read from but apparently razer use refurbished switches.

Why do you want to lube browns? Brown's tactility already very less, lubing it will lessen it more.

Some people reported that gold springs is stiffer compared to normal ones. This is something that i personally am not sure yet.

You want to change the switches and leds yourself ka?

You say that as if keycaps dont cost muh for shipping when thats not actually true

Also, thats the reason why im asking - procedure, things to take note, cost, alternatives, etc
*
Shipping of cherry mx keycap sets from taobao is rm10 or 20 max to your doorstep.

Shipping of cherry MX keycap sets from 'murica is 20usd max.

Shipping of one hhkb from Japan is around rm150 (price before ringgit value drop)

So wait, if I get this right, you want topre mainly cause it comes in one good package? Pbt caps and stuff like that?

Theres also a singapore option but they havent replied yet

Yes, package as in switch, build quality, layout and size. also because i wanted to start top down instead of bottom up. From what i can see, if i dont like it selling it wont be too big of an issue
*
well, unfortunately, topre enthusiast in malaysia very less here. most of them also see led like razer and buy. see brand like razer only buy. you go around and ask people you know razer or not, most of them will say yes. ask them if they know leopold or not? huh? what is leopold? can eat one ka?

that's why i recommend new playas not to go from top to btm. once, a guy used to have the same thinking, end up buying cherry mx boards also.

buy on your own discretion though. good luck in your endeavors.

Well you can argue both ways. Anyway the friend who lent me 7g is due looking for upgrade and his wishlist includes a topre so im not too concerned. Also, theres been a number of units sold via garage sales and they seem to catch fire

But youre right, rationally peopl should go bottom up, but i did try the cherry boards and while theyre great, there doesnt seem to be an ideal situation with a single board (switch behaviour, layout). Im not saying ill be done with the leopold, im just terribly itched to find out lol
