[Recommend] Good Mechanical Keyboard

[Phen8210]

The one you're talking about is a different model that they are selling for $40


This is the 84-key TKL keyboard which led screen model which Ajazz had the same model type called Ajazz AK870 I intended to buy that Ajazz AK870 with a yellow keycap, but they never ship overseas. They had one with black and white keycaps, but it was much more expensive than Aula, which sells for about $72.

No wonder, seems like the official store never sell AK870 already, their new models probably no screen also because it serves no purpose. That time when i got my AK820 Pro they still have ak870

Its up to you if you want to convince yourself that way because you are only lying to yourself. No one here is that stupid.

Taobao sold AK870 8000mAH + tri-mode at $40+ shipped to sg from their other store when it was available, but its sold out at that store. This is the normal price for a plastic kb.

I've got many KBs with screens and the one from this manufacturer honestly has very limited functionality and serves no purpose, the price isn't that much different.

If you wanted a full aluminum keyboard, the gasket mounted 3-MODE MCHOSE GX87 SE costs SGD63 shipped, with metal backplate at the back.

There is no need for me to lie.....I just practically share what was contrary what you informed about the keyboard with screen and the model pricing as well.Their own website is offering that price, and I have no influence over it either.
Aliexpress selling that price too and i think it is up to the buyer to buy or not
Even Taobao is currently selling for $60-$70, but if I missed it long ago, it may be available at a lower price.

What are the alternative options if someone likes that keyboard(with screen) and the price falls within the range?have to buy other keyboard that they don't even really want?Not everyone has the same taste; some prefer that keyboard while others do not, therefore it is up to the customer and the individual.

Alright, bud. You're pulling up the priciest listing online (US$100) to make your point, but let's not kid ourselves here. Taobao’s got it at ~S$48, including shipment before, and now even with forwarding fees it’s just an extra S$10. No one is buying the idea to get it anywhere near US$100, so let’s keep it real.

Not my money anyway. But if that's the move you're going for, don't do it here maybe try it on Reddit instead.

I never tell anyone to buy on the most expensive list, bro

Again I just practically relate what was opposite to what you have told about the Ajazz AK870 keyboard with screen and the model cost with battery capacity of 8000mah, which according to you they never sell anymore, but they did still sell it on their store/website and the price was even way more expensive.

Yes i know Taobao selling Ajazz AK870 $48 without the screen and the battery capacity is 4000mah.I did check it out before i buy that is why i buy Aula instead for $63 with 8000mah.i have already check everywhere in taobao there is no other seller selling that more cheaper with battery capacity of 8000mah.

Anyway, I've kept my Aula keyboard and am now using the monsgeek keyboard back, which I'm happy with.so end of discussion

The one with issue with the aula kb, forgot the name.. maybe this will help.

If the stem of your keycap are breaking, don't buy the same one because its gonna break again. If you bought that keyboard i suggest changing out all the keycap i was also a victim.

Sorry, don't quite get you. Are you suggesting to not replace with exact same keycaps?

Its just the keycap's underside plastic that holds it into the switch that broke.
Want to just replace the keycap since its only the "W" key that broke.

Buy new keyboard also don't know what's good since never follow the scene liao.

Yeah that's what i mean, don't replace the exact same keycap, because I already experienced the problem with this keyboard and know what issue you talking about, soon more of the keys will break, not only your W key.

But just shocked this issue is still happening, guess they dont care.

Ahhh, so the stock key caps are cui, but okay la, been using this keyboard for quite some time, price to performance still acceptable.
Keycaps don't affect the performance right? Since its the switches that is the one performing the functions.

G.Skill crown looks good, but only can find in Shopee.

I think some brands do maintain their price, also boards tend to keep a certain value unless EOL.

Try searching for shine through keycaps Cherry profile.

Womier Dark Shadow Shine Through should work for you. If you are looking for keycaps that have shine through for the RGB.

I not sure if these are thicker but they are designed for shine through for RGB.

Appreciate the chime in!
Ya, I noticed most branded keyboards prices remain the same.
i expected them to be like 50-70% but I am so wrong. So rather change keycaps since nothing faulty with keyboard "yet".

Old already, RGB or not is not that important liao. HAHAHAHA

Very nice keycaps, shine through is a must to use the keyboard when lights are off.

After playing around with boards, I realised old school is still the best. I kinda feel the bling was brought about through the gaming scene. I prefer how boards were made in the past, good construction and overall better plastics for the keycaps.

Some of the RGB caps are just too thin as they need to balance shine through and type feel.

Does anyone here have really old mechanical keyboards, I might be interested. (Pre USB connector)
