what are you look for a keyboard ? solid feeling, heavy case ? or light weight, and fancy light ?there is alot option for you to choose for your budget.

Yes you can. A B87 from Winkeyless Korea.
An acrylic keyboard with RGB lighting on the bottom, you can pick your switches(ergo clears, gateron blacks or whatever MX compatible).
Add on a set of decent Gateron dye-sub PBT. Should be below RM1k.
But you'll need someone to assemble it I think.
If aluminum custom, i'm not so sure that budget is enough.

Oh yeah, i forgot there are tons of 60% alu case on Taobao. Some of them are quite good.
Hahaha, indeed a solid alu keyboard is a bliss to use. Are you considering 60% keyboard? Or you'll only consider a TKL?

If you're looking for a TKL, there are tons of them out there. Just whether you willing to pay or not. If those better korean boards. You'll be looking to pay around 1.5k and above. I think rao2100 have a Kmac LE that he is willing to sell(saw his siggy). Typically they are going for about 400USD and above.

Or you can consider TGR-03 by Yuktsi. Going for RM1.4k assembled.

I don't think alu keyboard can break down just by typing. Usually the switches are mounted on a metal plate, less flex, more solid typing feel.

There are a few TGR-03 prototype. The one you saw should be TGR-Jane, which is still in prototyping stage.

If not mistaken there's also one Kmac 2(winkeyless, 84keys) with big god 0168257061 that is willing to let go. Not sure but you can PM him I think.

with 1.4k myr you can have the 03 prototype
the prototype was made with 7075 aluminum (very solid board)
pretty good deal if you are fine with some small little flaws
not too bad after all

p/s: I have another prototype selling at 1.3k myr, using 6061 assembled, more flaws. All selling at below cost. sigh. prototype buyer is eligible to purchase any future tgr board or any custom board board at budgetary price.

If not mistaken, they don't exceed 3.5kg. Even TGR-03 with brass plate weighs around 3.1kg. Quite a heft to add to the luggage.
