Mechanical KB information

I bought the aula f2012 during lazada sale. If you don't have mechanical keyboard, this is very cheap. Uses aula brand switch. It has rubber over the switch (waterproof) which I recommend to remove.

The black metal looks really nice. I wouldn't mind using it... But the lead/mercury and cadmium levels are over the limit

I changed to Redragon K551-RGB VARA due to spillage of water on my previous keyboards ( logitech/ducky mech) , quality not bad, similar to ducky.

The keyboard came with a warning. and if you search f2012 in amazon everyone says the same thing.

A little bit of heavy metal won't kill you...

Anyway don't go too cheap like the qant. Some cheap keyboard are marketed as mechanical but is rubber dome.

The aula f2012 is a legit one using blue switches.

Cybermind/xtreme solution/any game shops in simlim.

 

[lunarsong]

Cybermind good place to try coz the staff won't bother you, pretty much self service.

X-treme solution is smaller compared to Cybermind and staff will be there looking at you. Not saying that it's bad but sometimes we just want to be left alone while looking and trying things

ah thanks will go try it out if pass by these shops

 

[ragnarok95]

Cybermind yes, if you say just looking they will just walk away. But their knowledge is when you want to find out more.

Xtreme Solution is completely opposite. Go in machiam like kanna watch, but if you ask them question, they can answer.

Is there a wireless mechanical keyboard with backlit keys? No need fancy RGB, just one colour will do.

Try ducky single LED although the newer models are now RGB. See whether XS is still selling the older models at a reduced price.

Thanks, seems like only available from AliExpress now @200 USD. Any idea whether Varmilo is a German or China company?

Ans: It's from China. http://www.varmilo.com/contactUs

Just bought a new mech keyboard and gave my corsair k70 to my bro.
Was thinking abt the cm masterkey pro s at first then happen to saw a sleek black and asked the guy in the shop. He say he also bought that.
Leopold FC 980m, damn nice, all the letters are printed at the side so from top or side view its full black. Built is really sturdy as well, brown cherry mx.

Cons: pretty costly though.. 199
But I can claim so for those who can claim or rich af, can consider.

Ahhhh... congratulations on your new purchase. Just wondering, do they carry the FC 980C? The on you are using is the MX Cherry Keys. FC 980C is a Topre board.
