Hi sifu, any recommendation of mechanical keyboard with red switch (not cherry also ok la), budget around rm300++.

I'm always shifting between 2 laptops + 2 phones, looking for something like IKBC W210, but need hot-swappable, bluetooth & PBT cap.

Thanks!!!!

Just ordered this from Taobao -> https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=637294463074.

2.4G, BT5.0 and USB-C connection, available with TTC or Kailh Box linear switches. Also have the option to go without switches so you can use your own switches (hot-swappable)  brows.gif

Let me share something interesting.

After chit chat with the seller, he recommended me to go with this, my request between 100-108 keys:

For the PBT cap:

Is that the board you're buying or just a sample pic from the seller?

Just a sample from seller, mine will be new board, new design but smtg similar.

nice this one is new stuff at pre-order stage. as long as you're ok with the layout, then it's all good.

for key cap replacement, just take note of the non-standard bottom row before purchase. it shouldn't be a big deal, as plenty of key cap sets have those keys already.

The board didnt come with any key cap and i need to purchased additional.
He said got extra 20 key caps and will free 5 TTC brown switches as pre order lol.

hi, looks intelesting.

what does removed 3spaces/cap means?
and base on the link, what does it means by highlight RGB no other RGB?

is this hot swap?
*
The board is 94 keys, but the function key like normal 100 or 108, just removed the space and make it more compact.
Yup, got RGB and it's customizable.
YES! IT'S HOT SWAP! but i didnt go for TTC but box, limited budget lol.

Will share actual photo when he start to install my board. rolleyes.gif

as long as they are working well for you, it's good enough smile.gif

tbh, the base costs of me building my 64-key bare bone is around 250 to 350myr each (depending on parts that i choose; just pcb, plate, plate foam, stabilizers; costs of switches, and consumables for mods are not included)

it's a hobby to me, so it's just a small fraction of price to pay for enjoying the whole tune-and-build processes, and the satisfaction when expected outcomes are achieved smile.gif

Yup, for newbies like me, the PBT caps itself cost me about 150; damn hurt!

But after a while when i saw someone bought a set of mechanical keyboard about 1k, getting better after that whistling.gif
