Hi, i'm a newbie to mech keyboards.

My budget is around RM500.

What brand should i go for?

I prioritise Cherry MX Blue and build quality over anything.

I don't really mind about the backlighting, i think it's a gimmick and i don't wanna stress when one of the LEDs die.

Been looking at DAS, anyone got any other recommendations?

Cheers.

Hi sifus want to ask your expertise on this.

i saw this IBM Terminal keyboard Model M 1397000 or 1397003 few days ago at my workplace and they are willing to let go off it for cheap. Pic for reference user posted image

but i notice its port is using some sort jack that looked like LAN cable (i think its RJ45). is there anyway i could make it to run with the current gen PC?

got gambar of the port?

it's similar to my IBM Model M SSK.
if you have that cable, then you just need a PS/2 to USB converter (not the cheap ones)

this type works for me.

hi guys, i'm thinking of getting my first mkb so hope to get some suggestions here.

has anyone tried mx clear switches?
why is it so hard to get mx clear keyboards?
most of the sites i've found are sold out of it.
i'm thinking of getting a WASD mx clear when it restocks.

it's either that or i'll get a filco mx brown.

As much as i wanna get a Filco, I don't think I will be willing to shell out RM500 for a keyboard.

I'll probably end up with a low end ducky.

Anyone had experiences with Ducky Zeros?

Ducky is a very good alternative to Filco.
Quality is high as well. smile.gif
You won't go wrong with Taiwan made keyboards anyway.

Ducky Zero is good enough. It's made in China. Still quality is good.

Ducky not made in Taiwan?
Or it's just this Ducky Zero is from China?
Because even the lower end ones, Ducky G2Pro is made in Taiwan.

I think i read somewhere that only the Zero(s) are made in China, other models are made in Taiwan.

Does it matter if it's made in China or Taiwan?

It really depends, if i can save more... i'll go all in for the filco brows.gif brows.gif brows.gif
