Depends on your priorities. I don't mind dropping RM1k+ each on multiple pairs of leather shoes for the office, because I know I will use each pair every single week. But ask me to spend RM300+ on just a single pair of casual shoes for the weekend and I will usually balk.

But I know some people who will use the same pair of Bata 5 days a week and Yeezys 2 days on the weekend.

yeah, it's still cheaper to get leopold at shopee or local shops, compared to else where.

the key caps are thick double-shot. they are very durable for normal typing use case, and their legends will never fade away. you can always clean them up with soap and water from time to time. that's how we maintain our sets to always look new

edit: if you're interested in learning more about tuning a leopold, i can tell you this: it can still be tuned to get to its full potentials. for now, just use it as is first

being able to change the key caps seems very enticing indeed.

You can customise your keycaps for most mechanical keyboards (except low profile or some weird shit switches like Romer-G or ALPS or Kailh Choc), heck, even some mecha-membrane uses Cherry style keycaps and allows keycap changing/customisation too.

ok haha

key caps is a part of mkb that affects typing sound and feel. there are different key caps out there, which have different profiles, made with different materials, thickness, printing technologies, number of supported keys, looks, colorways, and price tags.

it's really up to you to explore your options haha

hello, i been way too lost for mkb.. im using ducky shine 3 mx brown since 2013.. if i remember correctly... more and more backlid led giving problem... always light even when i off them...

i checked latest model ducky shine.. way out of my budget..
could pls recommend me full size brown switch replacement mkb..budget <Rm300.. idm getting from taobao/local

RM295.00 | IKBC CD108 Black PBT Keycap Mechanical Keyboard Cherry MX Brown/ Blue/ Red Switch | https://s.lazada.com.my/s.1cReW

No LEDs.

halo.. are there any reputable mech keyboard shops in Malaysia? I know of xtreme solutions in SG but would love to go in store to check out builds and test out yellow linear keys *hnngh*

Sorry i should mentioned at least need single colour led.. during night time..

so i did read up abit.. gateron brown switch having some good review so i thinking of trying this switch.. during my search 2 models come up within my budget..
1) cooler master ck550
2) tecware phantom elite
3) ??

would like to ask are those keyboard ok? is the key cap standard keycap that i can replace some of my current keycap over??

Don't really fancy Cooler Master for the price. Tecware Phantom Elite + Gateron Yellow is a very good combo for linear and budget and hard to beat since it's feature packed and affordable. But you can choose brown since you want em. Not something I enjoy. Got better tactile switch than brown though.

They look like standard keycaps to me imo. Tecware confirm standard ANSI

I'm using a RK988 full size keyboard with black switch if you want 3rd option. Very sleek and minimal look as compared to the 2 boards you mentioned and got brown switch too but this keyboard is very basic barebone "keyboard only". I bought it mainly for wireless bluetooth. Other than that it's a basic Single LED backlit keeb

Thanks for suggestion! after searching abit on the internet, i decided to buy 3mm round led to replace the cherry mx led... i going resolder all the led... IF i fail my pcb then only i grab the new phantom elite... save up some money...

there are shops at lyp and digital mall that have demo units.

yes, try repair first. for most mkbs, usually it's replacement of faulty components, and it will work fine again.

Hello, I bought some keycaps on Massdrop/Drop and the tracking says it already cleared customs. do i need to arrange for pos malaysia to send from custom place to my address? If so how to do it? Thanks

uh? just wait for it? normally you shouldn't do anything, and the courier will send it to your designated address.

is there a custom foam mat for leopold fc750r?

nope. it's a commercial board. everything is already included in the package. however, you can still diy for both top plate + pcb, and pcb + bottom housing.

Eh? I thought Leopold all foamed up dy?

partially, especially the area between top plate and pcb. previously quovadis123 posted the details of a disassembled fc750r, https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=94630141

that's why the custom foam mod by ourselves are actually much more complete than leopold's.

i will start preparing for my next reference build soon, using leopold's sp-star grey, kelowna switch films, and 63.5g springs from everglide in terms of switches. sp-star grey is a good alternative to cherry mx linear.

Hi Guys,

Anyone can help me with this? Where can I get brown cherry mx switch with white led? I tried search lazada but doesn't seems to have it.

Its a Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L White Led Keyboard.
