ya i saw some reviews and yes the sound are nice but as mentioned it will come back to pref ... i also am considering but as of now i will stick to my current q1 with my current frankenswitch sweat.gif

a nice case though .. ill go with grey and chroma bottom but not sure if i can settle with no led on the mkb ... but then again this is my 2 cents

feel like nowadays wireless keyboard is getting expensive and may want to switch to MKB ...

any good suggestion for entry level low profile MKB (size 75% or below)

was looking at Keychron K7 (around RM300) but is currently out of stock

can try RK ... good enough for my first keebs .. also maybe can try th66

may i know how does rk compare to keychron? i am looking at rk84, but it looks like a rather tall keyboard like the k2. Does it really cause problem with wrist?
*
i have both ... i was using the RK65 for almost a year ... no complaints, still heavy for a plustic build and still a good keebs. In term of mod, i did a few normal mod like the o ring mod, the tape mod and also put damper in the case ... plus the keycaps & switches. Still good for me whistling.gif was satisfied with the sound per say

As for keychron, i am using q1 now. Heavier of course cos the case not plastic. Mod with the above plus a few more mod sweat.gif sound nicer i think and loving it hahaha

but if budget is your constrain, maybe you should go with RK

my 2 cents

Haha i actually pulled the trigger on RK84 yesterday 7.7 shocking sale. From youtube the front of rk84 looks slightly lower, and it's cheaper too.
It's really my first mech keyboard and pretty noob  about it.
I think i likely will only add some foam, and change to a better pbt keycaps. Any recommendations on good doubleshot keycaps to recommend? With this keyboard i think cherry / xda profile could fit right?
*
congrats rclxm9.gif
yes need foam ... and buy a small o ring to put on the screws to make it like gasket like ... i couldnt find a big o ring to put it on the board hahaha.
Well i got my keycaps from lazada or shopee .. the gmk clone might be good whistling.gif

yes the above you mentioned can fit

btw i recommend to change the switch too

hey, many thanks for the recommendation!
might go for the brown one since I like tactile, but not too noisy since I have kids at home that could be sleeping.
just saw some really bad reviews in Shopee for their RK keyboards.
Tecware brand is from Belgium while RK is from China..  sweat.gif

i was using RK61 and it is a solid keebs for me

jwk matcha's bottom housing is identical to fff's.

previously when i read about nylon bottom housing, i thought all were the same as cherry mx, or sp-star meteor. as it turned out that nylon is a generic name, and the devils are in the details. the nylon that cherry mx use is different from what fff and matcha use. hence, the typing feel and sound are actually different.

to differentiate them, nylon used for bottom housings of fff and matcha (and h1) is called polyamide.

jwk epsilon is ok as well.

edit: while the housing is identical to alpaca, the stock spring of jwk epsilon is 68g long progressive. it's not 2-stage progressive as described in the switch specifications. (or, maybe i was confused with the description, and thought it was a 2-stage)

this type of combination has a higher starting force, but it has relatively 'softer' during key travel.
*
so which one better?
epsilon looks like tangerine sweat.gif

honestly, no idea. i haven't tried all-nylon switches yet.

from specs:
it's a long-pole switch, with 13.9mm-tall slider. (for comparison, panghu's hpe slider is 13.1mm, meaning it's long, and the switch is louder) the travel distance is shorter than cherry mx speed silver.
*
me too havent tried any all nylon too ... but heck the shipping cost is like RM 50+ sweat.gif
the price for the switch is ok but plus shipping crazy already

tecsee previously released full-nylon switches. however i'm not sure if they used the same housing material as this tofu r2
as a generic input device, it works. well, it's a good start i think. you can use it to earn and save more to get better stuff.

i think it is made by tecsee .. read it somewhere hahaha

yes tofu r2 is from tecsee. i just cannot confirm whether tecsee is using the same PA666 as housing material or not for their previous full-nylon switches.

what is their previous full nylon switch called?

Hello all,

Need some advice, Im looking at a super entry level mech kibod. I saw this Aula brand and seems to be within my under rm 100 budget. Anyone has experience with this brand?

Also any other recommendation for mech kibod under rm100?

Thanks ya'll

They should be the same. I have experiment franken switch, Zaku stem with Blaecks top/bottom housing. They sound very clean, i do feel Tecsee nylon is more interesting then jwk nylon.

Here is a sound test on a gummyOring board

Zaku is not POM stem?
