i have never tried the CHERRY MX-BOARD 2.0 myself but there's a lot of negative comments online saying that the typing feel is really bad even though the MX Board 2.0 is using cherry switches.
the keycaps are low profile so it might suit your preference. just bear in mind that the Capslock key on the MX Board 2.0 has a weird mounting that normal keysets won't be able to fit on this key.

Your budget is too low, most Cherry MX switches keyboards are above RM 300.
Since this club is established for so long, your budget is not realistic.
For recommendation according to current pricing:
Ducky One TKL Non-Backlit (Doubleshot ABS keycaps) = RM 319
iKBC C108 Non-Backlit (Doubleshot PBT keycaps) = RM 349
iKBC C87 Non-Backlit (Doubleshot PBT keycaps) = RM 329
These 3 are considered near to RM 300 marks while reputable branding.
That Cherry definitely a low tier board. I would suggest save up and get a better ones like a Filco majestouch 2. Yes it is bloody expensive but for the quality it offers, worth it.
I know because I am using it now as I type this comment. It is like a typist wet dream and it is so discreet that the wife did not even notice I changed the keyboard to mechanical.
