[Keyboard] Mechanical keyboard?

[Mikiberry]

has anybody bought mech keyboards from Mechanical Keyboards Inc - The Ultimate Catalog and Guide. ?

I gave up searching for an MX Green switch keyboard locally already. And this site seems to offer a good selection of Green switch keyboards: Mechanical Keyboard Finder

But i dunno whether trustworthy or not.

Green switches are so much harder than black ones, have you actually tested those in Singapore before buying those?

I want a clicky board, and I have tried the blue switches on demo sets. They feel a little too 'soft' for my liking at 50g actuation. And the only other 'clicky' switch besides the blue is the green with their 75g actuation.

I have not found a place where I can try out the green switches but I am fairly confident it's not a problem since i always tap really hard on my keyboard when typing.

Mmhmm because 75g is almost like the feel of a rubber dome / membrane keyboard that is very very stiff, and it is not widely popular at all for gamers in general. Maybe you wanna inquire around geekhack first before plunging down to invest in a near 300 bucks keyboard? You don't want to have a dead LED as it will be very very ugly and troublesome to RMA.

P.S. considering you have to pay almost that price, try to look for solid keyboards like filco (or customized keyboards from mass drop / geekhack) at least - filco greens are found in amazon.jp.

I would recommend Topre switch keyboards if you can increase your budget to 200+. I had 2 cherry mx mechanical keyboards (1 blue 1 brown) before buying my first Topre, now I have 2 Realforce and 1 HHKB (2 for home, 1 for office) and won't go back to using non-topre keyboards anymore.

Tesoro is slightly cheaper by $20.

cannot decide which to go .

i lost a key on my current keyboard. which pisses me off




CherryMX can get replacement keys anytimes no problem

Maybe you should test on black switches first? They are already pretty heavy.

He wants the tactile feedback like blue and brown.

I meant the actuation ~~ he should at least test out the weight of blacks first cause greens are heavier then black.

Considering how I don't see any keyboards on SLS pricelists and Lazada with Green switches, comparison is probably going to be a little out of the question.

Only one keyboard specialist store in there, and they have prices.

It is a Topre switch.

Thanks. Looks like it's missing a numpad which I need it for work. Will give it a miss for now.

Has anyone tried Filco wireless? Not much reviews out there but I suppose it's not that bad? https://www.diatec.co.jp/en/det.php?prod_c=1874

I'm currently using K70 Brown, but i think i still prefer the clicky blues.

If only there was a keyboard that I can use with windows and Mac, so irritating change keyboards everytime i switch between my mbp and desktop.

Looks like http://www.keyboardco.com/blog/index.php/2015/04/filco-convertible-2-hands-on-review/ is your answer but not many reviews out there.
