Gotta get the same or similar for both otherwise the other will complain of unker favouritism.

Thats true even for this super budget keeb, I wasnt quite happy with the switches so I made the switch to Box Whites which is so many levels better typing experience for me. However the replacing of switches wasnt as smooth like I mentioned above.

oo have to replace switch? oo... dont really want to do that, bit lazy haha


well i'm on budget, just treat them with pocket change. heck even my f99 was cheaper than what i bought my niece as long as i feel the mkb is good i will be ok buying it as a present. even better if its at a good budget price.

back in the day i spent like rm 800 for mkb with custom keycaps and import from online (even had to get help from some mkb enthusiast living in the US to help send package to me in transit). Nowadays can get most things just from shopee and just relax. and prices are way more affordable, and the quality is quite good because of the insane competition.

My point is, we don't really have to spend too much to get a decent mkb these days (thkfully)

also because i already bought that kludge model, i want to buy a different model. guess that's just the remaining mkb enthusiast still in me wanting to experience another different model as a comparison hopefully there are some sales next month

actually i want to send my nephew my previous mkb see how they like it. if it's ok, i'll buy a brand new one for them (because the old one slighlty faulty and has no led lighting which is more popular for younger people these days). actually not sure if they need mouse or mkb more


if anyone have some good recommendations for a full layout 100% nkro mkb for budget, plz let me know. Preferably with wireless feature and a good battery.

Switches is personal preference. After using for few months I wasnt liking OEM Red switches so I changed.

Budget 100% size I can recall is Aula F108/Pro. Your F99 is 98% size.

yeah i noticed the F108 too late. Is the pro version worth it though?

For the F99 they said the pro was not worth getting. Not sure about F108 though.



just looked at the color schemes. don't really like them why does it have gold? eww


price is about rm 262


that wired mkb earlier for under rm100 seems much nicer. it's just a mkb for a kid who is starting out. leaning more to that tbh (cheap uncle haha)

i check shopee the price for a thunderobot k104 blue + red switch (keycap hot swapable) for RM 84.60. Worth getting right?

I don't think they will mind wired. These are kids they probably too lazy to plug in wire and recharge when needed

For Pro version its self justify if the extras are worth the higher pricetag or not. I remember a lady (or hippotech?) review done on it and it highlights the Pro(haha) vs Cons.

I got that same K104S config so it was worth to me, and then comparing that F108 @ RM262 which 3X the price of K104S you start to wonder if those wireless portability and extra features are worth 3x pricing.
I believe its a solid budget keeb for a beginner and the switches are the most direct game changing typing experience which can be upgraded with a switch change so imho that K104S should be a good starter for ur nephew.

The problem with siblings are not so much whats suited for their use but they will start comparing what they have nots anyways. Still I dont know them as much as you but if it were me, I would be happy to receive such a nice present.
