Hello everyone, newbie here, just bought the IDOBAO ID80 kit, but finding it quite difficult to find the right keycaps for me =(. I want a nice black set in SA profile, but most i have seen are ABS, and i haaateee the shining over time. Any suggestions?

Hi guys, newb here. Any recommendation for quiet, wireless and 96-100% layout kb? looking at Keychron K4? has anyone order before and ship from US to MY?
many thanks.

if its not too late to give my opinion, i bought a k4 a couple months ago and have been using it everyday basically.
Personally, the keyboard is just.. OK, not great. If youre going to be using this everyday, its just not a comfortable experience.

Pros:
-Wireless (really good if youre trying to keep a nice clean desk look)
-pretty big battery
-good layout
-Relatively affordable for your first decent MK
-mac layouts included

Cons:
-[my biggest issue with the board] It is too high: theres no incline or angle its just a flat and tall, the feet will give you a bit of angle, but they dont really help. I use this for work, and i find myself needing to stretch my wrists alot more often.
-Bluetooth connection can be spotty, wish it came with a dongle
-as usual, prebuild MK can have some rattly stabs, which you will quickly notice
-abs keycaps are super thin, really good legends but they get ruined pretty quick.

If i were to go back, i would not buy this keyboard and just start saving for a custom keyboard. That said, the problems mentioned here became the main reason i decided to dive straight into buying the parts to making my first custom. Until keychron fixes the case, it is just too tall and uncomfortable to be using for and extended period of time
