I have durock v2 in a q1. No issues.

Since I am not able to test out all the key type , which switch have more tactile bump feel among the list ?
I tried mx brown but it almost as linear when comparing with membrane keyboard.

yes i mean fb group.

not sure.

for now, i just stick to everglide v2 (a.k.a., durock v2), and c3 equalz, because they are easy to get. i will get some tx stabilizers also.

Owl stabs is all hype no substance. Selling point is being touted as the solution to bent wires, said to be the cause of ticking, by using what they call "liquid meta" wire that reverts back into shape like a memory foam therefore never "bending". Except for when it comes out of the factory "bent" or "not straight", but because it always "reverts back into shape" it will always be "bent" and not fixable.

Cherry clip-in = OG Cherry, always good if you know what you are doing, need to clip legs, cheapest of them all i believe

C3 = Comes in a wide variety of colours to match your build, cheap, widely available, v3 comes with a lot of additional goodies to mod your stabs

Durock/Everglide/JWK = Better than C3 from my experience but more expensive, widely available, could benefit from additional modding (holee mod) but downside is mushiness if not done perfectly, ticking do come back in some cases (without holee mod) after some time

TX clip-in = Stem is made of double shot with TPU mixture (soft material) on the inside to minimise rattle, think of it like a holee mod but built in without the mushy feeling of holee mod, clip-in is easier to install, not as readily available as quite new and still hype so it sells out but I've seen it remain in stock for weeks after restock

Staebies = Tightest tolerance of all, probably the best stab to use without lube, it will be tick free even with just a little lube, due to it's extremely tight tolerance there are reports of cracked keycap stems (very rare) and incompatibility with warped keycaps, bent PCBs and long pole stem switches. Biggest downside is it's almost always never available since it's technically still in beta and is the most expensive.

My go-to right now is TX because it is the best imo among stabs i can actually get my hands on.

Only Cherry and TX are clip-ins, the rest are screw-ins, but they are all PCB mounted. I believe there are Cherry screw-ins too but I've never tried them. And for your information clip-ins doesn't necessarily mean worse, plenty of people still prefer clip-ins for its ease of use.

on shopee i spotted a mkb for only Rm60

Mechanical Keyboard Gaming 87 Key Machanical Keyboard TKL Tenkeyless Ergonomic RGB For Laptop Computer PC K550


is that the cheapest available mkb?    seems to be a noisy clicky switch, but at that price i don't mind as long as u don't require ur mkb to be silent e.g. office setting
in comparison a gaming rubberdome keyboard roughly around RM14.90 So you telling me u can't bump up ur budget to get a mkb over rubberdome at this price point gap? come on  Topres are lovely (tried before, no issues with them), but i can't imagine sticking to the old rubber dome now that mkbs are so cheap these days 

honestly i spent too much when i started out.

but now... got so many good bargains out there for mkb 

not to blow my own horn but i also went to the first mkb meet up ;_: it was at starbucks hehe. i also bought the mkb shirt to support our community 

this is how i managed to experience topre.... and other mkbs i never tried before. topre is very nice 

My brother bought (and in the end passed to me) one of those budget cheapo dunno what brand models. Nice enough to use at the start (got knobs and everything and sub RM100 price) but by the time I got it already got bouncing keys etc. QC probably non existant. My current RK68 is SO much sturdier and reliable.

Haha.. really wanted to try Oil King. Guess I'll just pull the trigger next month. Gonna use it stock. Lazy and no time to mod. 

Soldered build users triggered.

huh... i thought the latest updated info is that the main mode of covid transmission is no longer thru direct surface contact, but thru aerosols & airborne transmission instead? so as long as i don't touch my face after touching the keebs and before sanitising, should be less risky than being in a crowded & badly ventilated closed space...

but anyways! i've decided to go for linears haha.

wondering if sifus here have any recs for budget linears with a similar sound profile to akko matcha greens? i really like the thock, but not so much the weight and the little bounce from the progressive spring. their vintage whites are closer to my preferred weight, but those aren't as thocky

lol i'm very new to this, so not at the stage where i'd be modding things yet. also no time at the moment to get too into the hobby that nasi lemak switch looks damn nice tho haha

my point was just 'be careful'

i guess the better option for you is to get both and do spring swap. they are not expensive. from specs, after-market springs with the exact weight and type of stock springs for both might not be easy to get.

Im out for the year with a sonnet and 2 ceramic keycaps.
Waiting for your zoom65 review.

This hobby is dangerous when you look around while waiting for your board's arrival.
