Most of the time I would be doing programming on C language and Java. Besides that, I also doing post-processing on images.

Recommendation:
- Vortex Poker Series (Poker 2 or latest Pok3r) MX Brown [Below <RM 400]
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

- PFU HHKB (Topre 45g) [Below <RM 900]
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

- Filco Majestouch 2 TKL MX Brown [below <RM 400]
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


That's all my recommendations.

I paid RM399 for Ducky Premier... but they shipped me Ducky G2 Pro instead. Paid them the money for the blue & grey version. When shipping time they said it ran out of stock. Then they say they only have a "grey" only version left. So, I took that instead. Now it's in front of me and it's actually G2 Pro. So, anyone have any knowledge regarding Premier and G2 Pro? Did I just got cheated of my money or G2 Pro is more or less the same and Premier? Thanks.
*
G2 Pro is predecessor of Premier.
It should be same board, but Premier do offered bi-color PBT dye-sub, whereas G2 Pro offered mono-color dye sub.

Pay the new price for an old product. That's all.

Thanks for your information and the only thing I could do right now is getting a switches tester. By the way, I am wondering which keyboard is compatible to MacOSX?
*
All are compatible with Mac.
ie Filco, HHKB etc.

Not really. Some boards have problem with Mac because of the NKRO workaround.

However, most recent boards are 100% compatible.

So the issue with compatibility is one issue that buyers must be aware of is only when they buy 2nd hand boards, and even then it is possible to have a simple workaround.
*
Ya, you are right. I still remember, if on NKRO for Ducky 2 will made keys register go haywire when using Mac.
Btw, HHKB, Filco, CM Storm or recent 1 are compatible with Mac.

If I want to get a keyboard with back light, which one should I go for ?

CM Storm QFR-i.

But not recommended for typist get LED keyboard because you will never use it. Get a table lamp instead.
Just my own opinion. smile.gif

I like the HHKB Pro 2 but it doesn't come with arrow keys, which I use quite often.

By the way, the B87 has caught my eye; I'm tempted to custom build my keyboard
*
If you wish for dedicated arrow keys, then go for Filco.
You need press FN+ certain keys to get arrow keys in HHKB. You may go for Realforce 23U for the dedicated arrow keys.
Well, for those use VIM, they don't use cursor.
Else, just get used to the HHKB layout...

But, but, but, forum rules(if not wrong) say images larger than 800x600 only need spoiler.  cry.gif

Different thread different rules.
Here always put spoiler if want put image(medium, large).

Putting a image without spoiler is like scooping shits to other people mouth when others don't even want to eat it.
Most don't even want to see pictures, just want to see the conversation. So, please be considerate.

Hi. Thanks for your reply.
Would love to go for these brands. But I wanted to support my friend who is a disabled. He opens a small computer shop and managed alone. Already support him for years and will continue to support.  smile.gif

Unfortunately, he only have CM and Corsair. Both of the brands are not customize friendly? 😦 I mean,  if you were me,  the only choice were the 2. Which brand would u go for.

Thanks
*
Only will go for CM XT if you given me these 2 choices.
Reason: -
1. Standard Layout
2. Cherry MX switches
3. No LED <-- Main reason smile.gif

Can anyone verify this?  Xiaomi in the midst of making mkb? laugh.gif if they do hopefully they r using cherry mx

Just wait and see.
We don't like to verify things here, things verify us.

The pricing stated as RMB 199, so, probably using Cherry-compatible switches.
This pricing kind of competitive among all cloned-switch mkb. icon_rolleyes.gif

Good mechanical keyboard don't come cheap.

Hey guys, I'm new here. I'm wondering which keyboard should I choose. Instead, which color of switches, cuz due to where I live (quite kampung), I can't find a place for me to try all type of switches, I've tried Cherry MX Blue ones, doesn't quite suit me.... I would like to get one which is quite similar to Mech keys hybrid with membrane keys, I do know they exist which is the Topre instead of Cherry MX, but Topre keys are much more expensive and all I could afford is until RM300. So guys, which key switches should I go for?? Give suggestions. I do have some keyboards in mind right now, which are the Ducky Zero and the RK-9000. Do hope you guys give opinions and suggestions for the keyboard too. Thanks a lot!! biggrin.gif
*
Either Ducky Zero, or you top up extra for better option; Filco Majestouch 2 (~RM369).
Of course, you can get second hand for Filco as well, probably price below RM 300 depends on owner usage.
Rosewill was end-of-life, so no need to recommend.

Get a MX brown switch, as it's kind of similar to the Topre because have a tactile bump.

Thanks for the reply but if by using the highway brings me more value than what I'd pay for, I would..

the local prices given are below 550 but going with Taobao would be near or exceeding 700 without bringing any extra value to the keyboard.

there's a difference between reasonable and excessive delivery costs from overseas beyond such threshold...in the end, a keyboard is not life and death, so if it's not available now locally, it'll be a wait smile.gif
*
Probably is according to Coming Soonâ„¢ policy again for Official Distro.
From the past experience, Filco Majestouch 2 took several years to bring in according this policy.
Most of the newer and expensive series of Filco are not bring in (now probably most of them EOL). sad.gif

If you willing to wait, then just wait. It's already about 5 months without any stocks for Convertible in M'sia.
I advise you to look for other alternative keyboard if you do not want to pay extra, to ship from Jp, or Taobao.

Anyone have any experience with lost packages in the mail?  cry.gif  I am expecting a keyboard. Tracking says that it left custom and reached PosLaju Puchong. And then it was dispatched out of Puchong to PosLaju Kota Damansara but it never reached Kota Damansara (I went there to ask them). So, it is either still in Puchong or lost in the mail or the van overturned or something. The thing is, it was badged out of Puchong, so it has to be in transit, unless the badging out was a mistake. I think I should go to PosLaju Puchong to look for it, but I am not sure where it is. But tell, me, any experience like this?
*
Can you show us the details of tracking along with timestamp after it released from custom?
So, we can understand more.
If in-transit to K. Damansara during friday, will reached tomorrow morning to K. Damansara.
