It's acceptable switch only. If the comment annoy you in some way, then I'm sorry.

Kailh is much better quality.

What happens to the Razer, is they turn greedy. That's why onwards from 2013, they moved from Cherry to Kailh. Then they complain about Kailh still is higher cost (although half price of cherry), only they moving to Greetech and Outemu.

So, what's differentiate between cherry, kailh, greetch?
Cherry is very firm, and stem less wobble. Each strong is precise among their own.
Kailh, is very solid as well, less wobble. However, we still found that the accuracy is lesser than the cherry. But, newer kailh box made it better kailh now.
Greetch, the switch is wobble, less solid switch. It uses less materials and cost, thinner copper pins, not smooth gold leaf composite. However, it's still very acceptable switch.

Just imagine a switch only 1/4 to 1/6 of the cherry, but still selling the board with same price.

This post is not to bash the Razer, just to let you know,
previous 2013, board cost 300+, sell at RM 400+
now, board cost 100+, sell at RM 500-600+

If greetech good, we all using greetech from long time ago

Well, razer claimed their switch award-winning. I think the conclusion the switch is not satisfactory to the community, but it's Razer fans self-satisfactory feel (Syok Sendiri).

Cherry only claimed their tactile is 30mil, and linear at 50mil lifespan.
However, razer terus shoot 80mil without test report. Syukur, award-winning.

I agree Razer logo alone worth a lot.

Very misleading about guarantee and warranty. Actually have warranty only. Self incur damage sure vendor won't fix for you.
And most boards are from chinese plastics.

I'm running an optical switch keyboard groupbuy now in the facebook, GK61 RGB.
From the video, actually there are 3 vendors for the switches: Gateron, GK, A4Tech.
Welcome to try though.

Edit: Regarding the HP, GK are their OEM for HP. They have several models made by GK.

This board exactly just like LingYi. I mean the same OEM design, same keycaps, same switches.
Just difference in logo.

This Marvo is just very random sub brands, that from manufacturer to distribute their same products.
This level is like you buy a PC, then come with a random keyboard, that you don't even want to remember or mention the name.

Well, back to the spec for this keyboard, it use Outemu Blue switch, a clicky switch.
This keyboard definitely able to do it job as a mechanical keyboard.
Still last long, and nice to use.
I will say everything is good, for very entry level.

Yes.

It looks really nice.

You can get from Lazada, I believe that is the only place will sell.
For seller that involved with CM, already stop selling their keyboard, because making loss chance is high.
Seller get the cost of keyboard, still lower than what Lazada sell, totally no points.

Truth is hurts, just don't think this keyboard have good selling until no stocks.
This keyboard don't have any push from the community, it's DESTINED a failed product.

Well do I hate it? Yes, because the board can't even sell, then throw to reviewers and free gift to gamers to push. Trash!

It's like 1 year and half since we had a gathering.. Long long time 1 gathering.

Parcel missing.. Sure use cheap shipping without insurance and tracking.
Because with tracking, already can get back money from courier.

If without tracking, sure posman songlap.

It's really up to personal preference. And Romer-G switch already EOL, since Logitech already abandon ship for this switch.
However, after market still have this switch part if your switch really broken in the future.

MKB can last so long because of the part availability, repairability.

They now moving back to cherry clone switch. They introduced GX Blue (Kailh Switch in fact), for latest model.
But, you also no need afraid as I said, Romer-G switches is available in after market for replacement.

The good thing they moved back to Cherry compatible, is logi fans can now enjoy using other keycaps than the stock keycaps.

As long as you like your keyboard, just use it. This market need more keyboard variation anyway.

Yes, Tecware board is hotswap board, can replace the switch without desolder.

But, you must aware, this Tecware only applied to Outemu switch alone, since the board hotswap only can pop in the thin legs switch like Outemu.
If you try with gateron / cherry / kailh switch, the copper legs will bent and still can't pop in and use it.

--

The newer Tecware board Phantom Elite, on the other hands using Kailh sockets hotswap, allowed all cherry compatible switch to pop in. But the price is a higher than older models.

Branded is like introductory level for mechanical keyboards.
Everyone will buy those branded in the first time when they introduced to mechanical keyboard.
But, when the user getting more demanding towards the keyboard quality, they will need step up to the next level.
So, they will avoid those "gimmick" brands, since gimmick don't provide the feel you want.

Wish you the best for the future boards you will get.

Keyboard is ok, but no more distributor in Malaysia making the keyboard need to ship from Singapore.
Not recommended if you want to claim warranty for keyboards.

You can look for Ban Leong distributor, they have CM and Razer brand.

Not plate cutting (u remove switch will see cutting still same), switch (you check got bent pins or not).

It's the socket on the PCB. Reported in since they launched, they have QC issue like this.. <--

So, the simple fix is, disassemble the board, and reseat the socket properly.

The socket looks like this

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.

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.

RM 500 for TKL custom is considered as very door entry level.

I think wireless mechanical keyboard is very less in the market, because it's redundant feature, it will get signal delay once you have bluetooth interference in your environment.

If you talking about romer-g vs membrane, actually there is difference, longer actuation distance in romer-g making typing more fun. And actuate without need of bottoming.
But, romer-g only have stock keycaps, so, hard to find replacement keycaps like what cherry mx switches can do.
Still, you need to try G613 in retail shop, if you like it, then buy it.
