Ordered a K95rgb from amazon prime now, first order with trial membership, it is shipped using ups fast shipping despite choosing free delivery! $100 cheaper than local stocks, and corsair have international warranty.

Is it because of first time bonus? If only, prime now have more international goods to subscribe.

Was deciding between Vortex Vibe for compact MX speed, but go with the gamey K95. =:p

Corsair have intl warranty means u must ship back to corsair USA most likely. You cant deal with local distro for any RMA.

You should try taobao instead. Cause keycaps mostly are from there and it is cheaper. Plenty to choose from. Abs plastic to Pbt. Colours to design.

I think corsair can send to HK. For 50% cheaper, i think is ok to risk, so far it works, except volume knob starting screechy. Corsair keyboard local 1-1 also good, reputable support.

I noticed Logitech no longer ships to Singapore.

Can i use rechargeable battery for this?
I would mainly use this for office use, am i too late to jump into the bandwagon. lol

been looking around and kinda like what Vortex has to offer. Any comments or opinions on keyboard I listed below?
- vortex core (challenging to use yet elevating nerd status) - 40%
- vortex race3 (I think it's the best compact keyboard with almost full functionality) - 75%
- vortex vibe (I sometimes use numpad) - 75%?
- whitefox (kinda expensive but it's soo nice) - 65%
- tada68 (I think it's the best 60ish% keyboard. compact + got arrow keys) - 65%

to replace usb port will need to know how to desolder and solder properly... usb ports abit tricky because soldering points quite small

Yupe can. You need to source the Micro USB though, there are some good quality ones on Aliexpress. Comes in a bunch of 10s. Then use a sharp tip soldering iron. I have replaced a few Micro USB on devices before.
