I've got a friend who's looking to get his first mkb. He says he likes keys which takes alot of force to press (black keys?) and probably around the price range of 300-350ish. I have a filco brown myself which I did recommend to him but he's not looking over his price range. I did explain to him some of the cherry mx keys and what brands that fall into his price range.

After some research and looking around, I could not find any mkb with black switches in the 300-350 range. My knowledge is only the steelseries 6gv2 which is way off. I could tempt him to get browns which are abundant across most brands. Best brands for his preference which I could recommend are Ducky and CM Storm.

Question: Are there any other shops selling Ducky other than heavyarm? Mostly I'm helping him to look for fullsize/TKL within 300-350 and don't need backlighting.

i personally prefer ducky brand but depends on the features of the keyboard. but seeing as thats his budget, maybe someone who is more familiar can suggest to you the best deal for that range 
there are indepth reviews online regarding mkbs. make sure to google on them and read to check there is no issues with it. good sources for reviews deskthority or geekhacks. there probably other random places on the net too.
no idea, but last time i tried to preorder a game from them i got screwed over. not a fan of that shop for game preorders  maybe their mkb merchandise prices is different story ? heh

Went to c-zone and gadgetzone at digital mall today. Couldn't find any Ducky's or CM Storm's within 300-350 cuz no more stock, possibly not bringing in also. Guess I would have to look elsewhere.

haha call yourself lucky. I'm just helping out a friend who wants to get his first mkb. Must be around 300-350 and no backlighting. Haven't mention the type of switches yet. Oh god
