I pm tepi thx

If you tape mod it, it might get louder and thoccier. Worth a shot for such a cheap and reversible mod.

Q1 75%
Q2 65%

Eventually they will have a Q series (aluminum) for every K series (plastic).
Then they will have a lot of product segments covered.

Akko ok if you dun wanna spend much.
Or look into kbdfans.
Or thockstock.com just to look see.

Anything cheaper will be a sidegrade. You might as well just wash your stock keycaps.
Or buy used ducky, filco, leopold keycaps if you can find them for less tham rm100. PBT can tahan, ABS you need to look for shine Cause you can find akko for rm169 last time I looked.
There's also taihao which at least has shinethrough and is slightly better than stock RK.
And if you're not really a typist like me, dun underestimate the usefulness of shinethrough for late night gaming.
To be honest, after experiencing my first GMK, Im ready to go back to shinethrough and rubber wasd keys. But that suits my needs. Your mileage may vary.

Skyloong GK96s

Should be similar quality to the RK.
If you see an Epomaker GK96s, as far as I can tell they're the same thing.
I built one Epomaker GK96 before. Its fine for the price. Plastic all around. But once you lube everything it should be fine. Didn't try the BT though so can't comment.

Akko Mod004
https://shopee.com.my/Akko-Hot-Swappable-Cu...ff-9fc997652216

Full aluminum kit but you still have to buy switches and keycaps. But should be a lot nicer than the GK96s. And no BT.

Keychron K4 v2
https://shopee.com.my/-Keychron-K4-V2-96-La...10-4c9515c9005e
I suppose this beats the GK96s on account that it is full aluminum. I have no experience with this, but plenty of people do.
I'm guessing should be better than the GK or a Tecware.

I think Bobagums or boba u4t fits. Also akko switches. Please wait for someone to confirm.

Very sensible build specs. Like good value quality all around. Enjoy bro.
Them Akko keycaps are better quality than I expected. I have the 9009 colorway on an NCR80.

Lubing the stabs.

I bought one biji tecsee diamond which has uhmwpe stem and top housing. Its super smooth stock, really dun need to lube, or maybe just lube the spring. Too bad it doesnt have long stem thock though.
That hpe one should be better.

I've been thinking about for a while now. Too poor to throw money in the hobby. Maybe i should start selling my unused stuff.
Anyway I was looking at akko clear asa keycaps (black) which will go well with a black feker but only one day, now no stock already.

I dunno if this is the same thing but I loaded a china pcb (ncr80) json file into via and it worked on via np. Except everytime you wanna use via you need to load the json file.

Wow i didnt know that qmk had those hidden features. No wonder I couldnt find winlock in via.
Thats some deep coding there for me to get into.

Thx I'll try it

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 winShiftS. 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.

The only keychron i have is a q1 which is fine for the money. The K series is known to be on the high side, so you might need a wrist rest.
Also bluetooth wont be usable for fps gaming, otherwise should be fine.
If you can wait, they will launch a metal version of the k10.
Also maybe you can consider the k4 which has almost all the keys of a full size but less width.

I see an RK100 with 2.4. No idea, never tried the brand but is pretty standard entry level stuff.
There's a Feker 940 v3 barebones kit.
I have a Feker ik75 and its fine for the price, but my biggest problem is the lack of keymap customization. You wont need much since its almost a full size, but you have to sacrifice keys if you want to add any macros.The 2.4 works just fine for fps games. Cheap (cheaper on Taobao) and you can pick any switch and keycap you want (hotswap).
I'm guessing you need the numpad right?

Im quite sure i din get taxed for my non knob lbarebones ast year.
What i did notice is that its cheaper if you buy from shoppee or lazada now (under600) but they only have the non knob. Anyway akko store no knob stock now.

Dont forget shipping usd30

Nani???
Link please

Ok bro. can buy already.
