<RM200 for a full layout is kinda hard. I think the only options are finding from Taobao(clone switch) or hunt down for used units. Good luck.

Question then..what would be the normal depreciation rate for a keyboard? ..for a second hand unit..used for X number of years..how much would the price go down?

I think it's pretty hard to value the depreciation rate for a used keyboard. I think it rely solely on how much the owner wants to let go, if they can't sell, surely they will reduce the price to sell it off. Some of them just refer to other seller's price.

In the case of custom keyboard, usually the price don't reduce that much. Some of them even gain value to a certain extent due to rarity like some of the korean customs or vintage keyboards. Rarity and configuration, like some built with switches that are more rare in the market, or specially tuned.

I know this explanation don't really answer what you asked, but hope it helps you. Just my 2 cents

oh no! how did it lost?
i think DS3 has some led problems in the past.

blue switch with backlit are quite difficult to find hmm...

the other one that i can think of is ducky zero shine RM3xx range, or tenkeyless layout, CM Storm Rapid-i RM3xx range, or Deck hassium RM50x

others that i wouldn't want to recommend but suits your requirements, it would be;
corsair vengeance k70 (non-rgb) ~RM500,

Poslaju issue.

mind sharing what happen?

they lost the parcel?

hi krytone!
i got my ssk from taobao, forgot how much i paid for it already, but i rmbr it was quite pricey (i think about RM400-500) as ssk is very difficult to find in taobao.


hardcore typing? you should try blue switch


personally i wouldn't get that or recommend that due to the following reasons:-
1) gaming layout, not compatible with standard or winkeyless layout keycaps.
2) using kailh switch.

Yes, that happened. I am still waiting for feedback from them since 26 June, but seems like no hope already.

oh dear, have you emailed to them or call them?

Thanks! Atleast i know someone who bought an SSK from taobao. I think that price range is still ok depending on the condition of the board. Ill try my luck finding one then. Thanks for the info kind sir

Mind sharing what is the search key to use for IBM Model M SSK/IBM SSK/IBM Model M in taobao?

Cheers!

ugh, i can't remember what i search for.
ibm model m space saver or something...

Hard-core typist...
Only recommend Filco mx brown or blue TKL. Only TKL please, else don't say hardcore typing.
If want better upgrade get HHKB or Realforce TKL.

Yes, the issue has been escalated up. I can only wait and wait.

Thanks! was trying with google translate and found 2.

hopefully these are in good condition :-\

hello guys, this would be my 1st time buying a mechanical keyboard...can you guys suggest a keyboard that have led backlit and mostly for typing under rm400? thanks

You can refer to the first page for more info.

For your budget:
Backlit = CM Storm QFR-i
For typing (feedback bump tactile) = Brown (Tactile) , Blue (Tactile + Clicky)

The 1st page doesn't state whether it have backlit or not...
