Any recommendations for shops where I can test out mechanical keyboards? I need one for work so nothing too noisy and I don't need backlighting.

Did a quick search and something like Cooler Masterkeys S PBT or Ducky One will probably work for me, with MX Brown switches.

For a Mechanical Keyboard i always look for one with more macro keys which can be used to program and excuted combo moves with the stroke of a button

Looking for an affordable keyboard for office use, non-gaming. Any recommendations?
Prefer wireless, with TKL layout.

Saw someone mentioned Anne Pro, looked good but not sure if I can get used to 60%...

Expanding my options to include the Leopold FC750r. Xtreme has it at $229 which seems awfully expensive.

Any other shops that might have it cheaper?

Ah, ok then. Thanks! That's a pretty high mark up on the Leopod. I was using mechanicalkeyboards.com to check prices. Ducky One 2 pricing is similar but the FC750R is much more expensive.

That site dont even have shipping to sg. Got to use a forwarder. Which cost around $20usd to ship over.

Us$119+us$20 which is around s$192.

Buy it in lazada with daily coupons make it cheaper.

No reasons to buy from US

ABS or PBT? PBT while can last longer and have a better feel and quality over ABS, it costs a lot more. May cost as much as your tecware or even more.

my friend recommends this because it is light and easily carried around. Also it looks so good!https://blog.comparee.com/shoppingguide/computerassembly/how-to-select-a-quality-keyboard

I would say the main draw of CTRL keyboard is the ability to hotswap switches and QMK firmware. RGB as well I guess.

If you don't use those 2 main features, the price premium is not really worth it.
I have a CTRL keyboard that hasn't been opened as I haven't decided what switches to use with it yet.
