i went to check out tecware phantom rgb just now. after reading all the user comments from various places, i almost believe that it's an outstanding option, until i tried typing on it. let's just say, 'you get what you pay for.'

don't get me wrong. it's still one of budget mkb options out there. however if you had the choice, i still think it's better to invest on boards with better switches.

really? i bought one of them and chose the blue outemu switch, and it definitely feels better than mx blues so far, not sure about other outemu switches, havent tried. but i have 2 mx blues keyboard with me right now, and the outemu blues definitely feels more pronounce, and feels better on hand.

im pretty taboo about using blues for gaming, but im actually using these as my main driver/gaming right now. on csgo/pubg.

uh? it feels better for you? i do use blue switches casually from time to time; cherry mx and gateron (gat blue still have their clicky effects intact, because i don't use them daily). the demo tecware board i tried on has outemu blue. for some reasons, i do experience minor switch inconsistency during typing. maybe it's a demo board, and have been used by many for testing all this while; or maybe it's just my own preferences doing tricks on me.

which 2 boards do you have? i am curious about boards with blue switches that you're comparing to.
not all pre-builts suck. i still like filco, varmilo, and ikbc lol (they can be even better if minor mods are done to them, i.e. for case and switches)

i have the filco and cm qfr with blue switches. laugh.gif maybe its just preferences, or the outemu blues is already worn out. my qfr is also almost 4-5 years old. sweat.gif

yeah that's what i suspected (switches being worn out for some reasons). like one of our sifus here said before, a more sensible total key strokes for switches is about 10mil, not 50mil. i still find it hard to believe that 10mil strokes have been reached as a demo board.

hidden qualities like switch endurance and reliability can only be proven with time. some of my boards are also more than 3 years old already. besides wear and tear, they are still working like new (some of them are not second-hand; but many-hand lol)

true about that, mx cherry seems to get better over time. time can only tell how will this tecware phantom last.

tecware phantom RGB, using it so far so good, good budget keyboard.

the seller in garage sale has wrist rest combo with the tecware phantom too iirc, could get them both for below rm250.
