I guess corsair strafe led is in the middle? Haha
Usually this backlit doubleshot pbt ckst averageky how much? Any suggestion where to get them locally?

yours might be ok

the price range vary, depending on your expectations and fault tolerance. for very cheap ones, their legends are really something (i don't think you wanna see those on your keyboard), and most of the times they kind of have qc issues. for those with middle range pricing (around myr 50 to 99), they are of good quality, but with various levels of 'defects' here and there. for (near) perfect quality ones, usually they start from myr 150. for enthusiast class (for collections), well, i skip them.

note that the price range above is simply based on a brief survey at taobao. tbh, if you wanna have a good set, it's better to check out other places also. doubleshot pbt is really very durable. you can swap them from keyboards to keyboards for many generations. imo it's better to get a perfect quality ones.

locally i only know ultimate.zone (a lot of good stuff; but better call them for stock status), and garage sales here.

Okay guys.. Actually I have a problem now.. I'm actually using a e element z77 keyboard blue switches.. But my parents actually hated the switches sound lol.. So now I'm going to find a brown switch keyboard which is suitable since it has a bit clicky sound but not so loud... Any suggestion from dear sifu? I'm actually looking for a good built quality which can last me for a couple of years.. Budget is around rm 500 to 600.. Thanks and appreciated.. Welcome add suggestions.

ohhh okayy. thanks for the inputs !!

this is personal preference but for backlit mkbs you should try out the following:
1. ikbc f87 - backlit (rgb); cherry mx; minimalist; standard 87-key keyboard layout (no weird bottom row); comes with doubleshot pbt key caps. (with fixed cable).
2. cm masterkeys pro s - backlit (rgb); cherry mx; minimalist; standard 87-key layout (no weird bottom row); abs key caps. (with detachable micro-usb cable).

both have on-board controls of led effects.

Thanks for the reply! How do you think of corsair strafe keyboard compared with these 2 keyboard? Appreciated..i need a ride full size keyboard

Anyone using hyperx alloy blue switch keyboard?? Is it a good buy?

what i can see is, compared to those 2 above, strafe have abs keycap, undetachable cable, non standard bottom row. corsair is 2 years warranty tho.
ultimate zone having sales for strafe rm399 only. haha

Thanks for reply! I tot corsair got double shot one? Other than 2 years warranty any advantages of corsair strafe? Thanks again

when changing caps, be wary of ur non-standard bottom row.

ur ear is so powderful to hear clicks from brown.

Having non-standard bottom row makes it a disadvantage.
Filco>all

Hi there, why did you say filco better than the others? Thanks

standard bottom row
costar stab (pros = easy to lube) but i just fucking love costar. lubing it makes it much more nyum nyum.
better build quality(japang) = longer life (hopefully)
much more aftermarket stuff for it (detachable cable and aftermarket case mainly)
no led = no problem (i rarely game/do work in the dark. but if u do, learn touch typing )
i like the indicator led is not on key (when changing caps, u dont need to bother having a backlit compatible caps for ur caps lock/scr lock)

but other than Filco, i highly suggest Leopold.
Cherry stabs (but as good as costar, review says, i nvr own a leopold. pros = easy to change cap)
lot of layout choices. all highly reccomended by user reviews.
i personally like their 980 n 660.

iKBC i like oso (nvr own one too)
PBT caps (stock kikaps sucks anyway, all kibods do)
indicator not on key.

i do just found out newer range Ducky(i dunno which range) led indicator is not on the key oso.
but ducky mehhhh.
I own one n i feel mehhh.

cherry also need lubing?

cherry switch or cherry stab?

everything lubed, gets better.
but wrongly lubed, it might get worst.

so carefully. less is more.

Corsair is only laser etched keycaps.

For warranty, currently, only 3 giant mainstream brands provided the best. Razer, Corsair, CM. They provided 2 Years Warranty 1-to-1 Exchange (No repair, just exchange).

May I know what misconception that let you think Corsair do use doubleshot?

after lube stab, that *dethuk3* sound when you press spacebar

dem feels

mech kb ned to be lube ka? for maintenance or the feels only? haha
