not sure. for boards that you bought from shops usually have their warranty procedures

I see.. But if they are already soldered, still ok to reseat them?

soldered doesn't mean it's a permanent one-time process. if during the manufacturing process, and things like this happened, you don't expect manufacturers to throw the whole board away, right? so it should be ok to just reheat then reseat them.

in fact, mkb modding includes modifications on oem boards.

just now i go watch youtube suddenly saw ppl recommend
wireless mkb
anne pro 2
i am thinking get a TKL mkb
not sure anne pro 2 or logitech g pro keyboard><

Filco Convertible 2 TKL

wow filco brand
i though this will be more than 500 ?

not exactly sure, but i think so too.
and kinda hard to source locally. ahha

well u never state ur budget, so im just suggesting

Hi all,

I did not keep myself updated in the MKB scene for a few years now, currently looking to buy myself a new TKL keyboard but usual brands like ducky, filco etc seems quite rare nowadays?

Where can I get them? Or else, what are my alternatives? Budget below 400 if possible. Thanks.

All you mentioned already ceased operation in MY. You will need direct import.

Ducky, import from SG (Shine, One), or China (Zero).
Filco, import from Japan, or China.

It will expensive because of shipping only.

How many wireless MKB available now ? Tactile ?

Saw G613 logitech but is it tactile ?

Usage ,for normal office typing with tactile bumps.Not linear where can't feel whether the key was press or not.

Any reply ?

there is a varmillo with bluetooth. in TKL.

but most of the good ones cant be source locally.

so it depends on ur budget, what u want in a kibod, and how u define a good kibod.

Apart from kbdfans and aliexpress, anywhere else to source for DIY keyboard kits?
I'm looking to build a 65% Hotswappable Bluetooth keyboard and it's darn near impossible to find.

I only saw a 65% hot swap pcb but not bluetooth. And I'm not willing to take the arduino path to make my own bluetooth HID.

taobao is the cheapest if you can read chinese, the kbdfans store on there has their stuff on for at least >rm30 cheaper

Nothing much , a total standard keyboard same as G613 logitech but with tactile. The G613 is linear type , so typing here sometimes need to feel the keypress is register with a bump feel.
Requirement
-Tactile , force 45G maybe.Never tried with 60g but basic will do.Need to type a lot of report.
-Need numberpad for calculator together.Full size keyboard.
-No RGB , distraction on office.
-Wireless since table is small often need to move the keyboard left right or even sometimes put ontop of the files to type or lap.
-If possible with bluetooth , sometimes need to reply on sms.

Those are diy from kbfans ?
Actually , just wanted a basic wireless keyboard with mechanical typing.If logitech G613 is tactile will suits the best.

yeah kbdfans has a store on taobao and if you cant find what you want from kbdfans, there are other vendors there that have stuff you won't find for cheaper anywhere else

I don't think can get cheap price for a combo of tactile+wireless+bluetooth+full size mechanical keyboard.Only large manufacturer like logitech can do it cheap ?
Anyone tried with G613 before ? Need so review on typing or typist.

Only OEM brand can make it cheap like logi/china brand, because mass produce.
For custom board, all parts actually charged more than you can expect, pushing the keyboard become expensive.

I built (build from DIY kit) before tactile TKL with bluetooth, and can cost RM 500+ onwards.

That is alot for TKL , but I need full keyboard include numberpad.Except , did DIY able to create a mechanical numberpad too ?

Use as typist , so it would be quite hard to find actual wireless+mechanical key + bluetooth cheap.

Anyone use G613 ? can review abit compare to rubber keyboard from those basic d3ll keyboard ? I search some said it's almost the same.

actually from the specs, g613 comes with romer-g tactile switches, https://www.logitechg.com/en-roeu/products/...g-keyboard.html

you mean to say local units have linear switches? i think you should double check the specs at local shops first. also, if you really liked it, just go ahead. about review, i really suggest you go and try it out personally.

the main reason why we suggest options other than romer-g switches is mainly because the stock caps might not be as durable as the switches. (replacement cap sets might be hard to find) the incompatibility also makes having a mkb a lot less fun hehe
