[Recommend] Good Mechanical Keyboard

[royfrosty]

Using Minila Air now. Is there a way to disable or perhaps prolong connection time before it goes on standby?

Default is 10mins inactivity iirc. I dont think it is able to set.

q10 not so good rah.. suggest get from xtreme solution. price can nego abit but go on weekday. Current they are clearing all their ducky shine 3 refurbish at 100 each.. but no warranty. Anyway up to u..

I would recommend to buy Royal Kludge RC930 instead.. a topre clone.. buy from taopao use 65daigou forwarding.. This is my end game.. I will not be buying any other keyboards..

Is there any lag when trying to wake the keyboard from power saving mode via bluetooth?

Nope. Just like regular keyboard. But of cause you will need to double press the keys to wake. 1st is to wake keyboard, 2nd pc.

It's been exactly 2 months with the Filco minila brown with 0-rings. By far the best keyboard i have used compared to the others that I've owned i.e. type heaven, steel series, cm stealth, etc.

Are there any keyboards that have the same type of layout as the one shown below ?

It can be non mechanical but it must NOT be mushy or laptop style low key travel.

I would suggest going for them red switches. Lightest and soft.

how do you guys clean your mechanical key caps? take out 1 by 1 and wash/ gentle scrub? like that very troublesome sia...

 

[koroshiya8]

I use a brush to brush it... once in a while use dust blower.

 

[royfrosty]

Just plug out the keys then use a brush brush off.

 

[sacredrays]

got once i tried to clean by taking out 1 by 1 to wipe with damp cloth.. gave up after a few keys..

Hi guys, I have been thinking about getting a mechanical keyboard but cannot really justify the price tag to myself.

What are some affordable mechanical keyboard models? No need to be backlit, no need media and macro keys. I just need a simple keyboard for typing and light gaming. Preferably, to have keys near mx blue but quieter if possible.
Thanks in advance!

i use this one because its simple and compact. i am not a fan of full suite gaming keyboards either. programmable keyboards isn't useful for me

Get the brown/blue switches version of one of those keyboards. (brown is kinda a quieter blue)
If you want a quieter keyboard, get o-rings from ebay (~$2) - http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...board.TRS0&_nkw=o-rings+for+keyboard&_sacat=0

Using this too. More keyboards should adopt this design. Compact but has both arrowkeys and numpad

My Filco gave up the ghost a while back... went to Xtreme Solutions but they couldn't fix it for me.

Didn't want to spend so much on a new mech keyboard so went for the Ttsport Poseidon Z at just $115 at Tec-Drome.

I really like the keyboard, even with its Kailh brown switches. It seems a little softer as compared to the Filco when bottoming out, so I won't need any O-rings. But there's one dealbreaker: the LED backlight setting cannot be remembered. I hate the backlight and I off it all the time, but upon reboot the setting is forgotten and it will turn on again

Missing my Filco now haha. Loved the understated design and the font.
