KB can get from aliexpress, taobao, lazada and shopee.

For more DIY option, can visit Mecha, Qwertyqop, ilumkb etc.

is it bad to constantly use wireless keyboard in wired mode? (ie battery constantly being charged to full) ? any long term effects that would cause battery damage/swelling etc?

Well, if you get a device with a built-in battery, make sure you can replace it when you need it. I know some devices that glue the battery and make it impossible to remove.

Leobog Hi75 is the cheapest Kb I've ever owned (219 RMB barebone kit), but the quality is exceptional for its price.
Don't even need to waste time modding for it to sound good for an aluminum keyboard.

edit: only mod I did was replaced the ugly stock red knob.

I used a Keychron K8 Pro. When the keyboard still under warranty I went to their website to find out how to RMA the keyboard because it wouldn't turn on out of no reason. They didn't even care to answer my messages, and their tech support didn't exist until I attempted a number of fixes, at which point the KB started operating again out of sudden

and then 3 month after the warranty end the keyboard keep typing on its own.I have only had the keyboard for over a year and 3 month.....they dont even have sell any board to replace the faulty one
Once spoiled, toss it away. It will be the first and the last time ever use again their keyboard

I use an RK keyboard since I don't want to spend a lot of money on custom keyboards, as proof Keychron's support is quite poor.

When I buy a piece of electronics, I ensure that the company I buy from is an electronics manufacturer.

A lot of hobbyist brands can't even get the fundamentals nailed down, and I am not just talking about keyboards here, haha.

Nowadays buy KB go taobao liao. Cheaper and make more sense than buying from shopee/lazada. Else join PO from places like Mecha, qwertyqop, ilumkb, landingpad etc.

My anne pro, filco, gmmk all rotting one corner now. Maybe i should give them away for free.
