Got mine during 5.5 at 36 with voucher and coins. So without coins it would be 46 SGD

Ya the f87 is wireless and I think all of aula selections there have a battery in it

If wired only, maybe can look at royal kludge. They are also on shopee...

Some other brand like attack shark, ajazz, mchose also have some keyboards. Not sure if they have wired only

if wireless, how long the battery can last? I saw the neon RGB lights on the keyboard

gaming keyboard are so expensive now. I'm using prolink mechanical keyboard now, but often keep typing wrong and it's hard to press. Probably it's time to change a good one, but not too expensive. Got any recommendations, under $50?

Try the Tecware brand.
I started with them personally because I didn't want to splurge. Pretty decent.
I can't vouch for them to be long lasting, but for their price, I can't complain.

I used mine without the lights, was ~3 months before i had to recharge.

With lights on at the lowest setting, probably ~1 month or less? Depending which section of the lights you used?
This F87 have 3 section of lights
- Keys lights ( standard )
- Side lights
- Front facing lights ( small area above they up arrow, works as a battery indicator)

I don't reccomend using these keybaord, that has battery , as a wired keyboard long term if you were thinking to do that.

prolink mechanical keyboard n

This? https://prolink2u.com/products/gk-6002ms?_pos=14&_fid=737c25682&_ss=c

Not sure how's the experience, but maybe you should head down to a store and try some keyboards first.
Though.... those available at those shops might be slightly more expensive.

Ah techware....
Their value board Phantom L red switch version is perpertually out of stock
My Dad is using that (Red switch). I find it quite difficult to press keys quickly (like too stiff?) but it is still working after 3-4 years

Linear keyboards

• Keystroke: Smooth, consistent, and quiet, with no bump or resistance until bottoming out.
• Sound: Quiet, with the primary sound coming from the keycap hitting the keyboard base plate, which can be mitigated with O-rings.
• Best for: Gaming, especially fast-paced games like FPS, due to rapid and consistent keystrokes and minimal noise.
• Considerations: Lack of auditory and tactile feedback can lead to missed keypresses for those who rely on that sensation.

Clicky keyboards

• Keystroke: Provides both a tactile bump and an audible click with each press.
• Sound: Loud, with a distinct "click" sound that provides clear auditory feedback.
• • Best for: Typing, as the combination of tactile and auditory feedback helps confirm a keypress has been registered.
  • Considerations: The noise can be disruptive in quiet environments like an office or shared living space.

You should also hear the sound on youtube on top of reading @froztheart reply.


Typically, most common or known switches in the western hemisphere are the cherry switch and from there, there are multiple other brands like Gateron, Kailh, Outemu, LEOBOG....

They will stick to the standard classification of linear, tactile or clicky tho some may add addtional classfications such as "creamy" or "thocky". You can treat the standard classfication as the colour model .. R, G and B, then the rest as mixtures

I personally perfer linear switches and if in an office enviroment, please do not get a blue (clicky) keyboard as you will make the entire office your enemy.

Better to head down to physical store and try some keyboards if you are still unsure what to get.
Alot factors come into play that can make you like or hate your purchase
- Sound of the switches and quality of build
- Pressing force might also differ from different maker

Any Samsung SD cards on sale? The brochure has limited options.

[Jurong640]

I am tech show now, saw 2 booths with those customisable keyboard, very good techtile. Smooth.

But price is like $199.

 

[trd2970]

This time round very quiet...mostly smart home stuff

 

[trd2970]

3rd floor seems very quiet and depressing without the challenger pasar malam atmosphere

Touch abit, feel abit, then take out your phone and buy online

But price is like $199

Got ask them what switches there were in those that you tried and liked?
Maybe can just look for those cheaper prebuilt that uses them or similar specced one

 

[Jurong640]

sounds like it, most people go down touch touch, open up shopee app, add to cart, wait for 11.11.

Times are tough to be salesman.
