[Recommend] Good Mechanical Keyboard

[royfrosty]

Using the filco convertible 2.

Have to say its an awesome bluetooth keyboard. And solid build quality.

If you dare open up the keyboard, the soldering quality is no horserun. Highly recommended.

It has 4 memory to keep all the devices settings. And a usb cable just in case you need to just use when battery flat.

As of now, i have used the energizer lithium batteries, still going strong for 1.5mths.

Last measured each still have 1.47v. Still can last about 3 more months lol.

No gimmick softwares needed and no frills keyboards.

Filco Convertible 2 - Enthusiasts in Geek hack and Deskthority have been praising it alot. User bases in Singapore is too little for you to rely on.

Pruss satu!

250+ SGD. Premium in Singapore cos we are carrot head. I have not tested the bluetooth cos I dont own one (I rather buy in Japan in August), but seriously just use it with cable if you want.

My Filco MJ2 three years liao, still very solid. After cleaning it and lightly oil the red switches, it is so smooth.

Oh my, I got myself a Type Heaven topre instead. Only the Filco brown + o-ring comes really close to what I want. I thought I'd rather wait for a couple of years to see how the wireless mechanical market develops. Besides I am quite concerned on the temper tantrums for bluetooth connection.

Also you can consider CM novatouch. Topre TKL keyboard.

Any idea how much cheaper they are in Japan? I think there should be plenty of players over there but not sure how different the keys are.

Mj2 is older model.

Mj2 convertible was released a year ago.

The good thing is you can use either bluetooth or cable. Best of both worlds.

180 - 200 `````

$30-50 cheaper depending on the switches color.

If you buy over in amazon you can use a 3rd party forwarder to ship to sg. Which reduces the overall cost to $20-30.

That's not bad. I will be going early next year and by then, would be itchy for another keyboard.

i'm using roccat ryos mk pro. so far so good.

Is it just me or topre keys feels like brown with o-rings? Just that topre keys can feel the spring back in action after you press it, adds a more tactile feel to it.

 

[ondooy]

topre and kaihl switch feels like plastic...
it's like when you press, they keys might come off...

 

[Gattberserk]

I using the cheap Tesoro keyboard. So far so good...



Not that bad actually.

Topre keys are much harder to remove compared to cherry ones and they are much more sturdier in my opinion. But I must say that the kb may not appeal to all users as there will always be those that are more drawn to cherries.

Filco. Build like a tank.

Previously owned the filco brown, then the blue and now the red. I'm using minila now.
