hey guys, just sharing my little side thingy over here, bringing in a rather cheap mech keyboard (below RM200 range) for those who are interested, any feedback is welcomed.

yup, got TKL. Mostly TKL haha. Price ranging from RM135 to RM180 for TKL, difference is either blue or black SWITCHES, whether want LED or not.

if you don't mind me asking, what color are the switches? blue or black yeah? and how much did you pay for it? got photo?

Is there a FAQ for keycaps somewhere? Just got myself my first mech (see siggy) and already tempted to change keycaps. Why are they so expensive? Taobao and eBay pricing also so scary

thanks man, already read them, I'm now wondering if mixing ABS and PBT keycaps on the same board is okay? just different texture and durability, right?

Following my research's findings ahahah I feel bad but I had to do what I can to pull in interested people, right? Thank goodness it turned out rather well xD. I have friends with mech keyboards (mostly cherry mx Browns and kaihl green switches) so I've been playing with them for a while, never truly owned one

sell your board earlier this evening some guy contacted me and said he wants to reserve one unit, and he's selling his CM Storm QuickFire brown TK, not sure if he's joking or not save money on the board, SPEND ALL MONEY ON KEYCAPS loving the Oetemu so much, gonna mod it kaw kaw once CNY is over, angpow money




*clack clack clack clack*

You guys talking about me?

just got my keycap from quovadis123 (along with LowYat.NET keycap) all Cherry custom keycaps work with my keyboard as well.

hey wilson can help me check the difference when you use the O ring on the keyboard I sold you? i kena tegur already for typing too loudly

Hi, he's talking about me.

Hi, the RM140 one I know what you're talking about, Viewnet sells them, IT IS NOT A MECHANICAL KEYBOARD!!!!! It's a "mechanical feel" keyboard. Basically a normal keyboard with the faux feeling of typing on a mech. I think the brand was rapoo or something, Chinese brand also. The ones I sell are not available in LowYat Plaza, but are available from me, RM150 can get you a good one already.

Hence you only see me posting here once every few weeks, when a nice guy here actually tags me here to recommend me to others, then only will you see me posting here




because otherwise it will definitely be "kuda-ing" around here, and such is an unprofessional /k/ conduct. I find this community and especially this thread started by quovadis123, 168257061 (and others) to be a sacred one, and unlike the Mech KB group on Facebook, I have no intention on turning this thread into an advertisement space for total self-profit, except maybe a humble 10% of it. However I thank you for giving me the reminder too, it is important that I do not get carried away as well.

In regards to Gateron
May I ask what brand and model of gateron mkb is it that you have managed to discover to cost RM200+? Even with my Mandarin proficiency and roughly a hundred hours spent looking around Mandarin alibaba.com and other Chinese websites, I have never been able to discover any Gateron boards for less than RM300. This is assuming the exchange rates of RM4.15/1 USD and RM1.51/1 CNY and it is not inclusive of shipping charges of roughly RM45 for 3 kilograms rounded up weight/keyboard (and mind you, this is inclusive all those special sensitive charges and the occasional duit kopi needed, shipping charges are not as affordable as they once were thanks to our ringgit value plummeting and international shippers only operating based on US Dollars or Renminbi)

Perhaps in the greater interest of consumer knowledge here (and mine too), you could share with us the Gateron board that you have discovered for us all here? Who knows? Maybe I could even try finding a more direct source to maybe lower the cost of having a middle person.


I hope I have not caused you any offense and I hope to hear from you soon. Good day!

One customer traded me his Ducky with a double clicking switch for the LingYi keyboards I am selling, because I'm curious on learning how to solder and stuff also, wanna try repairing it myself.

Want to ask:

i) can i solder a non-Cherry MX switch on it?
ii) Where can I get soldering equipment, what will be enough?

hope to get some response here, thanks!
