[Recommend] Good Mechanical Keyboard

[Phen8210]

Thanks bro, any model that you has used and think it’s ok? Ya the whole taobao is like flooded with different brands.

The most recent one I used is the Ajazz AK820 Pro. People keep hyping it, so it got me curious. I find it okay, The software seem buggy and unpolished as usual. Some people do not even want a KB that's not full metal, so it's a preference. If I don't like these kb I buy, I return or sell them. If I have a problem after the return period, I keep the keycap, switch, and throw away the rubbish.

It's an okay KB. It's not considered high profile and can be used comfortably without a wrist rest. My build is the same as this one.


Recently, I have also looked at brands like MCHOSE. It looks not bad. Z75S.

I think get a list of things you need from a kb, then slowly look. https://www.reddit.com/r/BudgetKeebs/

Or Zoom75 or Zoom98

Personally, targeting the Zoom98, that is the only 100% w configurable knob, alu base and not Keychron.

Zoom75 has a massive lag issue on its 2.4GHz. Simple thing also can mess up so bad, it's on my blacklist and keyboard to avoid. Don't know what else they mess up.

One of the scrap metal out there in the market

Yeah, i think skn75 is the safest choice if you looking to main a new mech keyboard, the majority is only good enough for display purposes.

My thumb is bleeding from removing a keycap on the AK820 Pro.

This is how sharp the corners at the bottom are.

Typical $50 kb lolol, I should be glad it even works and its wireless.

All keyboard are good keyboard

All keyboard are good keyboard

good = can type nia ah
i like the color scheme (asus) - the spring shld be good cos so closely knitted

 

[hyperfuse]

Just my own opinion. No need agree with me ah.

A good keyboard to me is simply have decent latency, switches don't rattle, no rattling of stabilizers, hot swappable.

Doesn't mean a keyboard cost thousands means it's better as well.

Material wise really to be honest is just either for aesthetics or acoustics. Those custom keyboard enthusiasts will blabber on and on with many minute reasonings to defend their hobby.

The performance of a keyboard also doesn't come from the finishing of its material use either.

A keyboard sole purpose is to be use to type or for gaming. Go ask gaming professionals for the matter and if performance of a keyboard matters, it's about latency and never about materials or finishing.

If performance of keyboard is use as a debating reason, like I say, a pro gamer using a cheap keyboard will still win hands down vs a casual gamer on a thousand dollar custom mechanical keyboard that can snap tap, program custom key with its complex softwares and other nerdy little nitty gritty unimportant stuff haha.

If durability of a keyboard is use as another debating reason, cheap office keyboards can last decades as well. Plastic or aluminium of a keyboard does not mean anything about durability of a keyboard.

Most of the times is all about aesthetics, but enthusiasts will exaggerate it until saying cheap keyboards are bad just to justify pricier ones.
