Hello MKB Gurus...

This is my first post on lowyat.net. I've only just registered, out of desperation, because I badly need advice on getting a new MKB (or not to). Please be kind to me.

My current MKB, also the first I ever bought, is a Razer Blackwidow Stealth. Of course, I didn't really know what I was doing, what I did was simply go to a shop in Digital Mall Section 14, tried several KBs and bought one I liked the feel of.

What I wanted, above all else, was durability. That was the sole reason for getting an MKB.

So I was sorely disappointed when barely 2 years later my MKB started acting up, when people say it should last a decade. Several of my keys sometimes would not register, or register multiple times. My 'J' key in particular hardly ever registers while my '.' key repeats itself extremely frequently compared to others.

Perhaps I made a poor choice when buying, or perhaps I just didn't take good care of my MKB (last cleaned a year ago). Or maybe I bashed my keys very hard (folks tell me when I poke them lightly with my finger to get attention they can feel it to their bones).

I tried removing the keycaps and cleaning it again, but no dice. Do I have to open up the whole thing? I'm not a very technical person, so I'm not too confident about it. If I could send it somewhere to get it fixed cheaply, I'd rather do that.

But, if I want to buy a new MKB, one that would last a really, really, really long time...what would you guys recommend?

I use my keyboard mainly for typing (part-time work as a localizer). It's been ages since I've played any kind of games seriously, and I don't plan on ever going back to that. As for the feel, my current MKB uses Razer's orange switches. I have no idea what that means, supposedly it's tactile and silent. All I know is I like how it feels, though I don't think it's really as silent as it claims to be. Noise is not an issue for me anyway.

Other considerations: has to be full size, preferably no lighting (or can be disabled). Budget...this is where I might be asking for the impossible, but I would like to keep it under RM300. If I can be convinced that it will last me a lifetime and save me money in the long run then I wouldn't mind shelling out more pitis. I can't remember how much I spent for my Razer, I lost the receipt, but I certainly don't want to spend a lot only to have it fail in just a couple of years again.
I would be very grateful for any advice I can get.

That's the thing, I can't seem to pinpoint the problem. Yesterday, while typing up my first post, I went through a lot of hassle correcting the various mistakes like "reeepeating keystrokes or missing etters" in my post.

Then, this morning I spent half an hour testing each key to find which ones tend to repeat more or fail to register, but couldn't get a conclusive result. Even my 'j' key suddenly was working fine again, which led me to suspect the fault is with the user (me) rather than the keyboard.

But after testing it again just now I'm definitely sure 'j' is buggered, in that test ~80% of the time it doesn't register at all, even when I deliberately press it hard between long intervals. However I'm still not sure about the other keys, which ones I would need to replace, etc. I'm not sure if I can send it to someone for repairs if I can't even explain the problem properly. I know this is vague, and people hate it when the problem isn't clear. Is it okay if I just leave it to them to find out where the faults are?

I'll just list my observations anyway on what seems problematic...
Definite: 'J' (often not registering even when deliberately pressed)
Very likely: 'E', '.' (tendency to repeat, even when typing carefully)
Probable: 'S', 'I', 'L', 'K' (sometimes repeat, sometimes does not register while typing normally)
Dubious: 'P', 'C', 'R' (seems to not register when typing normally, but when testing seems to always works properly)

Of course, there may be other keys that I haven't noticed.

just curious but how much is repair?    e.g. faulty usb, possible electrical component issue.

Where in Malaysia can i buy cherry mx black switch?

Yeah, the art is stunning and I almost impulse buy it on the spot (luckily myr - sgd rate stopped me from doing that)
My current Leopold FC500R is almost 8 years old so I'm thinking of getting a new keyboard and pass my current one to my dad.
Looking at something between RM500-700 do you have anything in mind that I can check them out?

Bought a Leopold FC750R out of impulse during 11.11 sales, was pretty cheap. But unfortunately, half the red keys came with the infamous "pinging" sound that Cherry is known for - meaning they weren't lubed properly.

Darn. Damn lazy to open every switch to lube.

You sure? The pinging is from the spring within the switches that resonates with the shaft no? There's already foam (not dense enough though) on the underside of all Leopold boards.

for me, personally i feel like there's 3 states. After the "steady state" that you mentioned, the lubed effect will keep wearing off because the lubes were pushed to the sides. The stem will keep rubbing on the rails and push the lube to the top or bottom. Not to say it is totally gone, it will still be smoother than 0 lube, but it is definitely slowly wearing off, even after the weeks or months.

It was particularly obvious on my stabs. it just keeps getting louder and not as smooth.

Yes, Krytox ix supposed to be high grade lubricant meant for extreme conditions but i believed it was meant for closed condition and not open condition as how switches and stabs are .

Just my opinion based on my experience on 2 different boards, a gateron linear and a topre.

Hail All Sifus,

I seeking an quest on the possibilities on the existence of a Mech Keyboard TKL version that uses Cherry MX Green switch with Side Printed Keycaps. Been searching for such keyboard but it seems more like a myth and fiction rather than a reality.
Does any of the Sifus here encountered such product with available stock and does burst the wallet bubbles?

Regard,

Knight

summoning both heroes!

Indeed, i also thought the same hopefully can find a caps that can replace it. here i attached an image of it hopefully only need the caps replacement.
Hi bos GRexer, this the image of the missing cap keyboard. its a gigabyte force k7 keyboard.

Wuhan outbreak is breaking the whole retail operation in cn so everything is expected to be delayed currently.

hopefully things are getting better over there. i really wanna try out the new enjoypbt double-shot abs cap sets asap hehe

Anyone here tried/using/used Holy Pandas before? seems to be one of the endgame switches, wonder how it compares to bog-standard Cherry MX switches?

Hi,

Have you guys heard of Rakk Lam-Ang Pro from Philippines?
Do you guys know how to obtain that board through parcel forwarding service? For now, you could only purchase through their website or Lazada PH, both which do not offer international shipping.

I also do know that it's a generic OEM board that could be found from Alibaba. I have also seen a Taobao seller that sells the same board under a different brand but it's more expensive than Rakk Lam-Ang Pro.

Can anyone help me?

im a big fan of 96 layout mkb, but not many choices. Those custom build models by China manufacturer are so much more expensive than ready build ones.
hi, do you know what is the closest gateron switches to cherry mx brown?

Using brother's cherry blue now, so heavy.

Hi guys, is there any chance we can get Keychron keyboard locally ?

I am looking for a full sized keyboard, wireless, mechanical
