Is the Corsair K70 with Blue Switch a good choice for a first time user? Always loved Corsair's design and the palm rest is a BIG factor in the purchase

I always thought they cost a lot more, only to realise the K70 is around RM400 ish...

Wait a second, if I select blue switches, I get blue backlight? If so, I'd definitely get the Red because red backlit is just so awesome

Quick question, Corsair mech keyboards have international warranty right?

Palm rest.

And partly because of the design and back-lit, raised key caps compared to other mech kb.

Not good ah? Apa beza with Ducky?

You are partly correct though the palm rest is one of the few reasons why I like the design. I have a wired keyboard with a palm rest and it was so good, switching back to a keyboard without a plam rest was hard

And yeah, most of the other keyboards apart from the Corsair ones look very similar in layout and design IMHO

The backlit in the Corsair K70 is quite spread out because of the design of the keycaps or switch?

Palm rest, if wanna get locally here, will cost around how much?

Honestly I don't need those extra medie keys, I never use them anyway.

So, let's say I'm looking for something other than the Corsair but it must have a red backlit keyboard and Cherry Brown switches. I heard that Cherry Brown is tactile like Blue but less noisy, I don't want something noisy

At the lowest price point if possible, design doesn't matter since most look similar. If you can quote a few models, it would be great

Any from these 2 topics?

Thanks Bro. Any other place to demo some mechanical keyboard like the Ducky? Don't wanna go to heavy arm in ss15 because place can't find parking

I just noticed the Rosewill RK9000 with silver colour. Wow it looks good!!

Edit: Any other recommendations for budget of RM200-350 for a silver/white keyboard

1) With Red backlit keyboard (the picture below is nice but I want red backlight)



2) With non-red backlight

***If any keyboards with nicer design with a little bit of top up, do mention it here also

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

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?

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

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

Any idea how much?

Ehhh those LED coloured covers can only get at Taobao ah? I checked ebay and it's damn expensive

Any idea how much would it cost for a tenkeyless setup and shipping to Malaysia here inclusive of agent fees? I honestly don't know how to do all these

How many led covers do I need for a tenkeyless setup roughly ah?

Edit: Wooohhh I would need 88 caps for a standard tenkeyless setup

Btw thanks man

Planning to get a cm rapid i and change it to red backlight

I'm getting the CM storm rapid-I because of the LED backlight and also because it's tenkeyless

Ducky Zero doesn't have any backlight.

Errr any last comments before I pull the trigger on the CM Storm Rapid I brown switches?

RM339, hope can COD with the seller today

The most expensive keyboard I have bought in my life lol. Welcoming rapid-i to the family

With the LED kah? Luckily the keyboard comes with 2 years warranty
