u can ask KuzumiTaiga

Wow, yours looks like an absolute nightmare to do.

Why didn't you just get the black version? Or the version with more uniform base plate. Price should roughly be the same.

Can't see the detail in the wrapping either due to potato

hmm, never bring in from taobao before, my bulk supply for mechanical keyboards is based on looking for supplier on AliBaba CN.

just go talk to any agent and they should be able to help you, but I know for a fact you should be worried about taxation, it's not a rare incident to get taxed from buying from Taobao.

DEFINITELY do not use Taobao direct shipping (especially if you're not able to read Chinese, A LOT of steps) way higher risk of taxation and longer waiting period, just pay the mark up fee by agent if the item isn't so expensive. Direct shipping is good for buying large quantities of cheap non electronic stuff that you're not rushing for.

Thanks for the info, I have bought normal items via taobao direct shipping many times(yes I can read Chinese), but a MKB seems too fragile for it.

I'm eyeing on this Coolermaster Masterkeys PRO L

RM5XX for Cherry MX RGB Full Size seems like a very good deal, but if it involves taxes and agent fees then it might not worth it anymore.

There are actually plenty of reasons not to get the bluetooth one....
1) The USB cable for the VB87 only acts as a charger, it doesn't connect the keyboard to the PC
2) Some people have reported connection issues yet there hasn't been any firmware update till now
3) No dedicated on/off button which is very important to me, I don't want to fiddle with the FN key while wondering whether it's already off or still on
4) You'll lose range if you transplant the VB87 into an aluminium case, which is what I intend to do
5) If buying from Massdrop, they are forced to ship it using expensive DHL due to the Li-ion battery inside (this adds at least RM100 to the cost)
6) I already have one of this

Conclusion is I'd strongly recommend against buying it until Varmilo releases an updated version that addresses #1-3 above at least.


I am thinking of letting go of both my Filcos but they won't be cheap

Any idea what's the local pricing here?

I calculated inclusive of agent fees, it should still come below RM690 before tax (brown switch).

Could not find anyone selling it locally, anyway, if taobao direct:

869RMB(Brown switch) + 32RMB(Taobao Direct) = 891RMB = RM56X

then seems like a no brainer to go through Direct, but better get advice from the Taobao direct thread in Serious Kopitiam for advice.

Less 100 but without warranty worth it? CM had 2 (or 3 years) warranty.

hard to say... CM is 3 years btw (at one time it was 4 by Jayacom).

oke, something worth to note for. tenkiyu mastah
all in all, detachable is oledy much win as long have one of this

one TKL pls.

inb4, still miskin

Thing is, I can't find any local store selling that MKB, guess I'll wait.

Imported an IBM Model M and a Magicforce 68 before, about one and half of a week then the parcel arrived at my doorstep
But need to see china custom and also malaysia custom, sometimes lucky they process fast, if not need wait for a few days more

Wait for it. Should be in MY soon.

recently kena fk by China customs, brought in fifteen keyboards one batch, coincidentally that batch of flight kena lockdown because got drug trafficking. delayed by a week

I also kena before, they said china custom being strict for some reason and my shipment was delayed. I actually shopped many times with taobao direct before, all non fragile items were packed together pretty badly, wondering if they will give more care to a mkb, also, taobao direct uses skynet when for local courier.

BTW, I heard all made-in-china items has no import tax, is it true?

Any item valued over RM500 is subject to GST, import tax, etc. SIRIM too. Yes, definitely less likely than buying from the US, but Chinese imports are taxable as w
WRONGGGGG, got import tax! ell. This is where the agents come in, they lower the risk by a lot.

Skynet is good for cheaper uses, but for mine since it is a business involving mechanicals, I use a more expensive courier service, but if you're just buying one for yourself, just use skynet. ABX is fine too.

Courier to avoid: Kangaroo

P/S: They won't give extra care to mkb, etc, the only ones whom you should rely to give extra care would be the seller themselves, couriers no give fuk.

well i did ordered the black version but i realized the seller (taobao) tricked me since they mentioned Black versions are replaced with gray under the description of the product page while still providing black as an option when you order it.

What an interesting looking keyboard LOL too bad it doesn't have the numpad

I've seen people discussing online talking about other keyboards being better than the Corsair K70 but did not state their reason. Anyone have any opinion on that?

The most common things I heard about the K70 are the LED burning out within 4 months and the keyboard dying within 3.

in my opinion, a mkb is always better than a gaming mkb i cant find the correlation idk why i just feel it that way peace (Y)
