Any bros got experience with Filco2 keyboard with sticky control key ? I have changed the controller board but I think there is something wrong with the keys PCB or the Switch.

Thanks.

Anyone using tecware spectre Pro? Looking at this cos I need the volume knob. Frequently use it on my aging K70.

It is a pretty decent Keyboard. An upgrade from the Phantom 104 keys, else is more or less the same just different design with the volume scroll.

Why not just upgrade to the MK2 sua?
Or you want to save money?
Cause they ultilize the Outemu switches not MX Cherry switches.

But of course depends on preference la.
Anyway. If you buy from a shop that tells you warranty from local Distributor will be better for you in the long run.

As Tecware is mostly 1 year Local Warranty. Don't buy from those that says shop front warranty. Especially when there's a local distributor for them.

Hooted Keychron K2 RGB alum frame gateron brown switches for $101 from local seller. Delivered in 2 working days. Still getting used to the 84 keys layout having used full keyboard my whole life. Was actually eyeing the newly released hot-swappable version but so far only can order from keychron themselves.

K95 platinum XT worthy? Fps gamer here but I uses the volume wheel alot and this new k95 comes with doubleshot pbt keycaps. Currently k70 first gen user here. Looking between k70 mk2 (no pbt keycap), k95 platinum XT or g915 (very expensive..)

was aiming for the K8 but decided will be getting the Das 4C TKL instead for the dual onboard USB ports.

Is armageddon mka-3c good?

For a beginner entry-level keyboard, it's quite a value provided you're a fan of clicky blue switches. The problem with Armageddon keyboards is they come pre-installed with blue switches, which not all users like due to noisiness. If you have to spend additional $$ to replace the entire set of keys to your preferred type of switch, then it's no longer value for money.

If you like blue switch keys, then by all means go ahead.

But I'd recommend the Tecware Phantom as a budget entry-level alternative with better value because at least buyers can select the type of switch (blue, red or brown) to suit their preference.

G915 would have been great if not for the lousy keycap quality..
mine worn off after barely 2 weeks of use (i use it for both work and gaming).. end up selling it instead..
Can elaborate on how bad is the wear and tear? eg like cannot see the character on the keycap, or the keycap becomes shaky?

I am interested in getting the G815 which is similar to G915. Your input can help me with better informed choice. Thanks.
