Hi i'm new to mechanical keyboards and looking to get a TKL or 75% size and needs to be quiet and ideally below RM300. Any recommendations?

If you don't mind buying from Taobao and wait few weeks using sea shipping via agent to avoid SST for best price-performance, I would recommend the assembled 3-Mode VTER Galaxy80Pro for RM203-RM216 excluding shipping depending on your color choice. It's basically an upgraded version of EPOMAKER x Feker Galaxy80 (VTER galaxy80) which you could find lots of video on Youtube.

CODE
Gasket Full Aluminum Case (1.71KG on spec sheet but I suspect it's a little more since my parcel weight is 2.26kg)
3-Mode (Wired, Bluetooth, 2.4G)
RGB Hotswap PCB, Supports 3-Pin/5-Pin Switches
4000mAh capacity battery
MDA profile doubleshot PBT keycaps
Acrylic nameplate on the back
Electrostatic spray coating with glitter that I personally prefer over anodized as it's more scratch resistant


The switches included aren't quiet, but you can just swap them out with the quiet switches of your choice and resell the original switches. There's a 3-Mode barebone kit version of the board for RM176 but it's only available in light green. For only around RM30 more, you get switches and keycaps.

If the green board matches your aesthetic, you could save the trouble of selling and swapping out the switches if you go with this option. It looks great with certain tones of keycaps, look at the photos  biggrin.gif

There might be other recommendations if you have other requirements such as needing a volume knob, screen or don't mind only having wired connection.

I prefer to get locally.. at least if anything's up you can check with the local vendors.

Take a look at these, plenty of selections and you can try them out in their shops in KL.

Try Xinmeng M71, it's 70% though but you might be interested in it

Last time I bought from a store in Shopee was RM309
but now I see the same store sells it for RM372

but I found one shop in Shopee here that sells it for RM278

so should be within your budget

Thanks for the suggestions guys (respect) due to the urgency of having a keyboard I ended up with a keychron K8 Pro from a local seller at slightly over RM300 during lazada sales , so far felt satisfied with it.
