Cooler Master Masterkey Lite L RGB. It's a membrane keyboard, not mechanical. Hence, it's cheap.

Lazada 12.12 $12 promo. Use Citibank $5 off no min spending to get it at $7.

You can try search for mechanical keyboards in ezbuy.sg website

Most ships from china and can be had for as low as $30.

Do note that the prices are exclusive of shipping and agent fee (using ezbuy)

If by air, it's about a week to arrive in SG.

What's the difference between those $30 keyboards and those that cost more than $100?

Cheap ones maybe using membrane keys, mid range ones using clone mechanical keys like gateron or kalih, more expensive ones using cherry mx keys.

Ultra expensive ones are up there using topre keys.

Of course the feel of the keyboard will vary between the price range also la

Then after you decide the switch used in mechanical keys, you move on to the type of keycaps used like abs or pbt etc. etc.

Like what addicted-addiction said,

But $30~ ones are using unknown mechanical switches, however, they work. Not as good as original Cherry MX or clone gateron/kalih switches but they feel ok.

I have cherry mx blue keyboard (CM Storm) and some random $32 taobao mechanical keyboard. They do feel different but both are better than membrane keys.

AJAZZ 87 keys cost me $32 :

Got RK61, Bluetooth one : https://ezbuy.sg/product/20000003633272.html. Might end up around $50 with agent fee and shipping.

You can also directly ship from Taobao using Lazada/others as forwarder. Might end up around $45~$50.

Using the RK61 with blue switches (should be Kaihl), a decent wireless(you can also use it wired) KB for its price. Battery-life will depend on your backlighting and overall usage. I average one fast charge a week, the capslock will blink when battery is low.

Got the Lingyi blackwidow from taobao late last year. Should be about $30+ with shipping. They are using outemu switches. Non-rgb but backlit. Build quality is quite solid with a metallic plate. Its a wired keyboard.

Nice keycaps! Maybe I should get one.

I am in conflict because I can't answer yes when I ask myself "Do I need more than 3 mechanical keyboards I already own?"
