Maximum bling you say?

I'd prefer ducky series. Better construction and they've been doing it longer.

How do you compared ducky rgb (shine 5) with CM masterkeys PRO L board in term of quality coz I'm planning to get RGB board for office used

Well, the other two guys already said it, but I'll just add some stuff.

Overall, I don't care much about RGB boards, so the moment you ask me about RGB and you see my face you're gonna get the trademarked "wtf are you doing with your life?" look from me.

Obviously, I'd prefer ducky because of my history (and their history too), but both brands are quite good. Personally, I used one ducky board and that's about it.

Otherwise, neither boards have a history of breaking down/causing problems beyond the bloody LED burnout in gen1 boards (improper resistors? IDK TBH). If you ask around about their users, nobody has any complaints besides the price.

And now that I've typed such a long essay (ok, long for a simple question like yours), my face is once again scrunched up with that trademarked "wtf" face because I don't think it's professional to bring a bling board to the office. IDK. You boss might feel it's fine or even encourage it, but I will look at this noob in my office and think WTF is wrong with him.

Obviously this stems from:

1. RGB isn't exactly easy to fix. You need to desolder switch before getting to it, and the switch housing is easier to melt.

2. Office very dark is it? Kibod need light?

And if you buy MX Blues habislah kau.

Hi sir, thanks for the long essay thumbup.gif well the exact reason am getting the RGB is because I haven't tried it yet (reasonable right lol). If you asked me I do owned multiple of mecha board before filco, ducky, realforce & WASD CODE with cherry black, brown, red, blue, clear & green...

so pls don't get 'wtf', i do owned custom board which is my only board & main driver right now at home, but at office currently using dell rubber dome kb so thinking of replacing it with something not boring smile.gif

Switch doest matter yes. But I forgot the mention I want the  volume scroll wheel to because my speaker volume controller is behind my monitor. need to bend my body to reach the volume controller. My kB also doesn't have volume function. That's why I want to choose between 810 or k70
*
since u main purpose is the volume knob/ scroll wheel, I guess for 'Gamers board' logitech would be the best choice since they always made a good product with great built quality

Yeah, I got myself a Ducky One TKL RGB because of the RGB too but now, it is used by my wife. As I like to tukar keycaps from time-to-time and sadly, there are not many backlit ones in the market (that look nice).
*
Yeah its normal, those bling2 are not going to last forever...hmmm bout keycaps, it is pain to see some of the good kcaps set price more than filco board itself

Lol seriously? Hahaha
I do love topre but the layout is not suitable for gaming...

I think HHKB are purposely designed for a programmer/ hacker

If you're looking for gaming, Novatouch TKL layout should be fine

Lazada don't have leh
How about Ducky shine 5? Which one is better? And if it's the Ducky, where's the cheapest I can buy it from? Thanks.

Since you have the budget, you may opted a Cooler Master PRO L or S? Their kb are well-known for good build quality

price should be similar with both corsair & ducky you've mentioned

I am a programmer myself, but I do game from time to time...
So meh, looking for someone with a silenced novatouch...

Ic, since you already familiar with topre, then novatouch should be no problem..I would love Novatouch for its ability to use both cherry and topre keycaps..
