No love for Tesoro? Just got Tesoro Excalibur Spectrum, this keyboard was praised all over google for it features/price ratio but it seems like I'm the only one having it here. :|

Make sense, this is my first MKB so I can't really compare it with Cherry and such but it works great. :|

Heh true that, but is kailh switch really that bad though?

Just found out my Tesoro Excalibur Spectrum has a non-standard R1 layout (stupid me). Thinking to sell it and get another one, but I think I would be more careful this time.

Can someone please recommend me a keyboard that:

1) Is full size and has a standard layout.
2) Costs around RM500.
3) Has cherry keycaps compatible switches(cherry mx prefered if it is within my budget, kailh or outemu or any known ones are ok)
4) Has RGB led with individual(per-key) customization.
5) Has dedicated volume/media keys/wheel
6) With minimalist design.

Any brand will do if they have good reviews, base on my research I found these keyboards closest to my need, but:

1) Azio MGK1 RGB - this is my first choice before buying the Tesoro's but I can't find anyone selling it in Malaysia store
2) Ducky Shine 5 (over budget )

Any help would be great, thanks in advance.

Gateron = 佳达隆
Kailh = 凯华
Cherry = 樱桃

Those who have experience with importing MKB from taobao, is there any problem with local customs ? will you be taxed?

Also, is there a reason to not use Taobao's own direct shipping?

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.

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

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

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

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?
