Fuh, the godfather of LYN's mech kb club is here.

And ya, as a fellow mkb oldie, I'm kind of cynical with some developments of mkb industry these few years.

One thing i particularly not fond of is the trend of "they made a gasket mount KB, so we must make one too", it's the new "RGB" of mkb industry.

Another thing I'm particularly shocked after previous hiatus of 4-6 years is now there's almost thousands of switches out there, which is kind of uncalled for (do we really need yet another switch which is POTENTIALLY better than existing one?), but well the more the competition, the better it is.

Lastly, I'm saddened to find that Costar stabilisers (which is much unwelcomed as ever) are pretty much getting extinct in last few years thanks to the blooming growth of mkb industry from China. Last time their OEMs are 50/50 between Costar and Cherry stabs; but nowadays almost all of them shifted towards full Cherry stabs already.

but well the more the competition, the better it is.

nope. like i said everything on my table right now is empty and cable-free, so i rather have wireless. lag from the wake up and all it's not a big issue for me.

I just built a feker ik75. Great for the price.
1. Dont expect it flexi soft typing experience. Although, with the included PC plate and no standoffs, theres a very slight improvement there.
2. North facing led. Using oem profile now, and I confirm that I still prefer cherry.
3. Very muted with all the foam, but thats fine for me cause I use silent switches. 
4. Biggest problem with this kit is the software. Cant change any layer 1 keys. Cant even add printscreen as its not in the options. Ended up using winaltS. If you want macros, you have to sacrifice a key on layer 0. I requested a json or hex file to see if i can sideload that into via. No reply yet.
5. Happy to report that fps gaming on 2.4kHz is feasible. So far experienced 2 split second lag in game. If wired is 100, on 2.4 this is a 98.

I think its good for the price only if you use it as is without changing the layout too much.

Logitech has announced the MX Master 3S mouse and two wireless MX Mechanical keyboards. The mouse is the update to the uberpopular MX Master 3, while the MX Mechanical keyboards are totally new products that promise to leverage Logitech’s expertise in gaming keyboards.

The MX Mechanical keyboard comes in a full size and a compact 75% variant known as the MX Mechanical Mini. Both look to combine the strengths of mechanical keyboards with the productivity-focused features of the company’s MX Keys membrane keyboard.

Mechanical keyboards have been a growing trend over the past few years, evolving beyond their roots in PC gaming and DIY keyboard modding cultures. But their arrival in Logitech’s MX line of peripherals feels like a watershed moment for the trend.

“There is a growing community of software developers who fell in love with mechanical keyboards when they started playing games, and now they want the same feeling of precision and control with their professional desktop keyboard,” said Tolya Polyanker, head of creativity and productivity for the MX Series at Logitech. “MX Mechanical combines the best of both — Logitech’s gaming keyboard expertise with MX Master Series signature experiences.”

Both the MX Mechanical and Mechanical Mini feature 19mm low-profile “Tactile Quiet (brown)” switches that Logitech says make them the company’s quietest mechanical keyboard ever. However, for those who prefer clicky (blue) or linear (red) switches, those will be offered in select markets.

Environmentally, the MX Master 3 is made from post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic (27% for the graphite model and 22% for the gray). Other features are the same as the Master 3, such as Logi Bolt, which allows connectivity to up to three different devices.

Pricing for the MX Master 3S is $99, same as the MX Master 3. The MX Mechanical will go for $170 while the Mini will go for $150. All three devices will be available this month.

Given Logitech’s past success with its productivity-focused MX Master series, the MX Master 3S will likely continue that trend of producing the best mice. The MX Mechanical series will also likely please many who prefer the feel of a mechanical keyboard.

you can try this for testing how mkb feels like
but once you have tried the mods than it is a diff story ... as for me diff switches make me love the keebs more. Call it a hobby and you will spend a lot on it hahaha 

and later i will venture to Q1 .. maybe a bit late but worth it  planning some mod also ontop and gonna try my nasi lemak switch also on it ... 

Bro, he started the very first MKB thread.

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.

The 75% keyboard woos with a decent features and lower price.
