Newbie here,

Where can I test different keyboard switches?

RM150 budget, just want to be practical, nice to type, ergonomic

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

At this price point only can go for those non-cherry mx.

Cherry MX 1 all above RM 300, averagely RM 350 to RM 450.
Unless some clearance promo, which will below RM 300.

Why Cherry MX keyboard so expensive? at manufacturing cost, Cherry MX switch cost about 0.50 USD to 1.0 USD per switch.
*
isn't cherry mx board below RM300?

just curious, is it expose to sun/heat?

anyway it is common for a RM500 kibod to have shitty keycaps.

My ambient temp is 34°c. Should I avoid it?

Any keyboard that comes bundled with ps2 adaptor?

Hey guys recently my "S" key requires me to press really really hard to register using my 1+ year old Razer Black Widow Chroma. I can't replace an entire keyboard because of this even though its damn annoying. So i was looking for away to fix it instead, perhaps with a Cherry Switch MX or if anyone can suggests anything else. I was looking high and low for anyone or any place that just sells the switch so i can replace the key (soldering required). I would really appreciate if anyone can help letting me know where i can get the switch from. Thanks guys

No offense but Razer have poor reliability for all its products.

I think old normal membraine model are mostly decent. but careful with the new budget ones, Not all logitech is good keyboard these days.

I got one logitech K200 1yr ago, space bar membrane gone after 1yr. (it was my Office PC keyboard avoid this model even you are using as office PC)

Talking about budget keyboard reliability, it's a bit hit and miss.
I have changed many budget keyboard. Spoiled WASD and directional keys after long gaming.
However, my last budget keyboard , a Logitech K100 is still going strong. I think it's 5 yrs old or more. Bought it when it was newly launched in Malaysia. Daily game with it.
