My old Lingyi mechanical keyboard has kong after 3 years of usage which is good enough..
Planning to get razer huntsman but it is too expensive lol..
I found this on shopee https://shopee.com.my/ARMAGGEDDON-MKA-11R-R...8462.2044493500
Is there any other choices? Thanks in advance for the advices

im using tecware phantom TKL brown switch..165..

so far so good..using it for few months now..

you can get normal version if u dont like TKL

Tecware best bang for buck mechanical

depends on which switch you want too.

Normal version around RM80 extra when compared with AMA..However AMA offers 2 years warranty while Tecware offers 1 year warranty only..Does it matter actually? Cause normally mec keyboard will last 2-3years atleast right?

Blue switch will do

u can change the outemu switches urself in case anything is wrong..

honestly, armagedon's products feels cheap to me, even with 2yrs warranty, just don't like how their products feel. but hey, that's just me.

used armagedon MKA-3C old version for 1 year+ and switches slowly have problem. Since its cheap, so tahan 1 year+ should be ok.

True..Tecware is better since can change the switch if not suitable..Yup I feel arma quality is more cheap..So I might just topup the RM80 extra for hassle-free in the future. Thanks guys..will close this topic

but do they cover, water spill warranty
or human error like broken into pieces??

no they dont support damage from ragequit

Ok, thank you, bosskur..
now I know..

I have been using Cooler Master Quickfire TK with Cherry MX brown switches for over 6 years and they still work like new. They cost around RM300.

I would not trust those cheaper Chinese mechanical keys to last long. Always go for Cherry MX switches, they are good stuff.

How about ajazz, metoo?

Mechanical keyboard costs more to make than normal membrane keyboards, it wasn't meant to be a budget option at first. But with more clone switches and adoption of the mechanical keyboards for the past 2-3 years, we're getting all kinds of options. I remember the time when only enthusiasts would go for mechanical keyboards because it costs so much money that we would rather spend the money on RAM or Graphics card upgrades.

If we're talking about rm119 for a mechanical keyboard, expect the manufacturers will cheap out on the materials and features etc. as they spent the money on the switch. But salute Armageddon for offering such a cheap option for those that can't afford but are keen to try mechanical switches.

Spending rm2-300 on a mechanical keyboard is ok, because they'll outlast 3x your rm100 keyboards anytime of the day.

I always spend good money on my keyboards and mouse and monitor, as they are the things we use and see everyday.

i have tried a couple of Armageddon mechnaical keyboard at the shops. Seems good and price is cheap compared to those crazy RM400-RM500 mechanical keyboards.

I believe 25-30 years ago, i think all the AT keyboards were mechanical...and it cost like RM20 only.

I only remember some cheapo BTC brand keyboard as my first keyboard, it had a metal plate frame and all. It was 1996/7. I don't think all ATs are mechanical. The first membrane keyboard was introduced in the late 80s. Mine certainly wasn't mechanical. Are you sure those were sold for RM20? Need more inputs from people from the 80s.

When I was in college, those Filcos are pretty popular back then i remember it costs 5-700 with shipping from Japan. Can't remember the exact price. And mechanical keyboards wasn't widely available. Heck Logitech or Razer wasn't even making mechanical keyboards.. I only remember Steelseries was the first among the gaming brands to offer mechanical keyboards to the mass market. correct me if i'm wrong

Yep RM20. I throw a few away....WTF.

But i guess the AT to USB converter cost more than the keyboard itself then haha
