Hi. Need some suggestions to get keyboard locally. I am currently building a rig and wish to purchase a keyboard as well.

I consider myself a casual gamer and I think i don't really require the Performance of top end kb. I am more keen on the aesthetics and the lighting.

Budget wise probably $100 plus max.

Any help here please. Thanks.

Can consider the 4 lazada links posted earlier. Otherwise, it is good to invest on a mech kb. IIRC< XS is selling the most basic Ducky mech kb at $11x. Just need to head down to feel which switch is suitable and you are good to go.

be careful of the really cheap ones which are not mechanical but advertised as such.

This one is legit because I bought one. Uses AULA's own switches. Not Kailh

Got the RedDragon one from Accessories_SG in Qoo10. $60 self pick up from Woodlands. Decent mechanical keyboard with blue switches. Decent because got a bit of plastic feeling but quite a steal if you're on a Budget. You can go and give it a go.

Try not to skimp on keyboard as it is something you feel whenever you're on your PC.

According to Amazon, Aula has unsafe levels of cadmium and lead as per their manual. Wouldn't want to go with these products as they are not recycle friendly and potentially dangerous.
is there similar declaration by other keyboard/pc component makers? wud like to compare if same or different...

To add on, the list below are just a couple of switches available now. Keyboard that uses these switches are still considered as mechanical keyboard.

Cherry MX switches, kailh switches, Razer, Logitech romer-G, Steelseries QS, Topre, Coolermaster novatouch, Matias, Gateron, just to name the popular one.

So if you look for a keyboard that uses the above switches, then yes, it's still consider as a mechanical kb.

Logitech Romer-G only on G810 and G910 right?
