From Costar right (with Costar stabilizers)? Same as CM Storm XT and Filcos (except Filcos have dual layer PCBs).

I hope they have fixed the USB connector issue by now...

just bought the teroso excalibur blue led keyboard with red switch.

Nice and sturdy. The keyboard is heavy. Is that normal for all mechanical keyboard?

My razer blackwidow 2013 keyboard just died on me..never had a problem with it until suddenly a few of the keys started going crazy - not responding, spamming a random key etc

Are there any filco or ducky keyboards ard the 100-150 price range? looking for a full size keyboard and not tenkeyless ones. Thanks!

one question, what is this PBT keys and ABS keys people are talking about?

I want to try a mech keyboard and i was thinking of the Ducky Zero at 100 bucks, is that a good choice?

i prefer blue/brown switches.

i was thinking of getting a 2nd hand to try but even 2nd hand ones seem rather expensive.

Filco only the ninja tenkeyless is at $150 range after discounts from lazada or street pricing sls.

You wont be able to go below that. Their full size keyboards such as convertible is already $170 and ups.

Ducky you will have shine 3 which is $17x For the full size.

If you really want budget. Ducky 0 will be at $100. Which is without usb detachable, and super basic keyboard, with cherry stabilizers.

For filco and certain brands, they have costar stabilizers with removable usb cord, can redirect usb cord, having media keys, nkey, macro functions etc.

Abs and pbt is a form of plastic used for making keycaps.

Most keyboard brands will be providing abs keycaps. With a few brands offering pbt keycaps out of the box.

Abs through time will be faded, worse for those with sweaty palms and fingers, it will worn off even faster. The first thing you will notice is the shiny surface of the keycaps.

Pbt on the other hand is a much stronger plastic over abs. It has a much tougher plastic and is a little more rougher than abs. Given that the surface is matte surface. It is rather more harder to worn off.

For hygiene purpose i will not buy second hand keyboards nor mouse. I mean thats me, not sure with the rest.

As for the ducky 0. Its a very basic keyboard. Features starts to go up with the price going up. What do you really need in a keyboard?

 

[recca85]

any quite type of mechanical keyboard?
Just a few macro keys will be good, 1 row will do just fine along with the usual multimedia control etc. keypad is a must.
I looked around and razer blackwidow ultimate stealth is quiet enough. But still looking out for other brands.

Loud is relative. Most mechanical keyboards are quite loud. You can try red or brown cherries fitted with 0.4mm o-rings to see how it sounds like at xtremesolutions. This may be the quietest combination but still, it won't be as soft as a dinovo or thinkpad keyboard.

I find CM stuff rather Orh Biang because of their design. Anyway even rubber dome keyboards will be loud. Just avoid tactile switches lor. I personally have tried using O rings, but the difference in sound is not significant at all.

Use scissor switch keys

 

[koroshiya8]

black switch is pretty quiet liao.

I just need a basic keyboard with keypad, even though i had "gaming" keyboards in the past, i never used the macro/media functions.

all the fancy LEDs are also useless to me, dont need a light show when im typing.
