hi fellow sifus, rubberdome peasant here. im thinking of upgrading to (entry level budget mkb) and saw few suggestion there.
however i check taobao and to my surprise there are actually a lot of budget mkb choices
but with that price i suspect it must be using kailh switches. any sifu using kailh switches or china/tw keyboard? how was it?

im just wondering how does kailh switches fair

im torn between Vortex Oni PBT TKL (RM 349), CM quickfire I (RM 340) & Filco Majestouch 2 TKL (RM 379)

why filco so exp

yeah, there is the whole debate going on for kailh and cherry. afaik they felt almost identical and the biggest question is their built/durability. if cherry cant last up to 20 years while kailh up to 15 years, i wouldnt mind kailh though. not too sure about gateron though but is a good thing cherry knock off getting more recognition.
Thanks for the suggestion, i think i need to stretch my wallet a bit more for filco, on the plus side i can smack people with it and it will be still good

Just got this after listening to sifus , too bad they ran out of brown switches, but still a beauty~

red ones, wanted brown.

ooo should have hold out my buying impulse and go lowyat & check. but red aint too bad , jsut that lacking of that tactile feel.
thx but i have no idea how to mod lol at most just gonna replace few key caps

so far it felt quite good, though need some time to adjust to it, key feels very light, tried several games that requires lots of key mashing and it works well with it.
just lacking that tactile bump feedback due to being linear switch and those clicky noise.

tbh i kinda liked blue for how it feels and the click sounds. but i got a feeling the noise would become annoying after a while. if given the opportunity i'd go for clear switch or topre.
hows blue doing for you?

from what i heard, clear is not clicky as blue. a lot people like blue, great for typing i heard. tried black too, almost double the effort needed to press red lol.

damm you guys now tempting me to get blue . but i heard once you get used to the switches you use its pretty hard to adapt to others.

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

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?

currently the keyboard is not with me, will try to get few pics later.
it should look like this


the cord itself is similar to telephone line cord.
