Unless it is new or slightly used, do not buy it.
ALPS don't age well, the thing will feel like crap with a ton of dust inside.

Heeey so after few days whats your thoughts on the 55g mx blues? 

despite being a ABS

what's wrong with ABS?

Ladies and gentleman,

welcome to the fight night. The legendary fight. The one that has been ongoing for years!

On one corner we have ABS, and the challenger, on the other corner, the withstanding champion, they choice of many, introoooooooooooducing PBT

FIGHT!

Nothing wrong with ABS. Just that my preferences is PBT. As I have mentioned, my daily driver is HHKB and RealForce, both using PBT. Before that, my 60% was a Poker 2, which also use PBT. So I am bias towards PBT feel. When I use a ABS, the caps is just too smooth on my finger to my liking.

Not 100% sure about this list but this is from my memory the few that offers soldering service.

Dadude, any updates on LYN MKB? Gatal to buy new mkb le

lol can i even find a guru here?

Or get a broken board from taobao and harvest from it. Less than rm100 for 2 boards

yup it's blue, nak cuba switch yg linear, told the seller I wanted red switches but when arrived it was black switches instead   
thnx , I read around the web about this switch. Some said the stems will break easily    , guess i'll be the guinea pig tester then hehe 

The price I got for this KB is not that bad  @RM228. The lighting mode is kinda limited but (only can cycle 3 times for brightness and a breathing mode) the rainbow themed led is kinda nice.

Will report further on how this keyboard will perform 

Hey anyone know where to get this kind of thread and screw for it? spirit sent me only the thread but not the screw lol cant screw my pcb on to it

It's very lightweight 620g only.
However, it's sohigh because claimed that a full-size is ergonomics.
   

need suggestion please. i want mechanical keyboard that have palm rest.
30 % gaming 70% for typing code (programmer).

how abt red?

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...
   

I bought a Keycool PBT set along with my very first mkb because I know it is worth it. I got them from China taobao, the Keycool costs me close to rm100 that time.. and now with the weak MYR the price is gonna be higher than that   better just get second hand from GS. if you need further pointers, jusnits is selling his IMSTO set for cheap!!! IMSTO and BSP are the top PBT keycaps manufacturers and their keycaps are darn thick; Keycool ones are just cheap and thin.

I graduated from using blue switch. Blues are definitely not suitable for a quiet office environment (been there done that   ) BUT if you are staying alone then it wouldn't matter and you can enjoy the orgasmic feeling by your own. anyhow switch preference is very subjective, you will need to test it out for yourself. Viewnet n All IT in lowyat plaza, HeavyArm in SS15 have display units for you to sit/stand there n type for 10-15minutes or even longer if you don't mind the staring eyes of other shoppers.

It seems only enthusiasts will buy IMSTO and higher tiers keycaps instead of casual users.

Guess, casual users don't have enough data to justify value of IMSTO which the pricing ~ same like a Filco keyboard (RM 369) price.

Example of IMSTO keycaps set: IMSTO's blank gray thick pbt.


To feed some extra info..

Cherry Keyboard + Cherry keycaps => RM800++.
Casual users, like to buy keyboard (pants) but don't buy keycaps (clothes). 
They will realise, a true mkb, consists of clothes and pants. Which is quite high cost.

The cost is kind of similar of getting a master race Topre (clothes + pants) tho.

trying to give to the community here a taste of what's good and cheap
