I heard Techware Phantom is good, less than RM200 for the TKL version. Using outemu switches, still waiting for mine to arrive to test out this week.

TKL - means...?

Tenkeyless without numbpad. I think for budget boards they're all more or less the same. Just pick the one with the design that you like best. Then pick the switch type. Blue --> Clickly, Red --> Linear , brown --> tactile.

Glad you manage to get the DZ65RGB in stock. Though, in a hind sight, might want to ask KBDfans if you can top up a little for Cherry screw-in PCB mount, the ones in your picture seems like standard clip-in PCB mount. Also, in case they missed it, do let them know also that you would prefer if they pre-mod the case for the PCB (but might not be an issue for the V2, not entirely sure, it was an issue with the V1 PCB where 1-2 of the hot-swap sockets are nudging onto the case mounting posts)

Noted, I'll see what they can do. Thanks.

ok.

note that this combo will have a weaker structural support, although it still work fine. it depends on only switches to secure top plate to pcb. also, the better choice of switches to be used in this case is pcb-mount/5-pin switches.

Hmm, now that you mention it, never crossed my mind before this. Will have to try them out first when all the parts arrive only decide on changing the switches. Thanks.
