Try going to either Ultimate Zone in PJ or Viewnet Lowyat. Although I doubt you can find anything there for RM150, but at least you can get an idea of how different switches feel like.

Computer shops normally have a Sample keyboard with all sorts of switches on it. Cherry red, blue, brown, etc on a single board.

Thank you

I noticed most people prefer blue switches, but I have not tried it yet.

Let's say after trying them out I would also prefer blue switches, with a budget of around RM150, what's the best MK I could get?

Any unfamiliar hobby will always look crazy or weird. There are other hobbies that seem weirder such as collecting of plastic outdoor chairs or vintage washing machines.
