Hi there!

Using white Ann PRO 2 with gateron red switches (around $120) nabili ko sa aliexpress. ginagamit ko sa bahay.

Tapos for my office use, bumili lang ako ng mumurahin sa Aliexpress:

Mechanical Keyboard: Zouya ($25) ten key less with red switches
Numpad: MotoSpeeed K24 ($19)
Custom keycap: Carbon PBT Sublimation Keycap ($16)

My very first mechanical is Redragon K578/Kama (Outemu Brown) bought from Datablitz. 4 years na sya sakin so I decided to buy a new one which is Royal Kludge RK84 (RK Brown) bought from Datablitz as well, may sariling switch si RK and masyado syang bouncy pindutin so I planned to buy MX Red, but unfortunately wala akong mabilhan kaya nag try ako ng Outemu Red and ok naman hindi sya masyadong clicky and malambot sya compare sa brown switch.

aong mech KB ung may arrow keys at napapalitan ng key cups worth almost 2K?

kung may arrow keys specifically hanap mo, i would recommend a TKL setup para almost same layout sa classic 104keys. maraming cheaper models from some random chinese company, but i would recommend a relatively known brand instead
Royal Kludge RK87
Rakk Tandus 87
Redragon K552 Kumara

meron pang iba and other form factors that have arrow keys... pero yan muna as reference

 

[mixgamingph]

Ah yes mga RK andami rin selections nila, kung hindi siguro lumabas yung rakk pirah malamang RK gamit ko sa office

Nung una Logitech G413 Romer-G ang gamit ko. After a year, nagumpisa na magdoublepress yung ibang keys.



Common issue daw yang double-press sa mga Romer-G switches. So napatakbo ako kay Datablitz at eto pinalit ko.... So far 1 year ko na gamit ang Razer, wala pa naman akong naging issue. Nauna pa nasira yung phone na pinam-pic ko jan sa Blackwidow na yan.

random maintenance/clean-up done. palit keycaps.

Akko 3087 v2 with akko orange switch (tactile) around +2700php

build quality is good for the price. quite hefty... di ko maintindihan yung frame/case kung plastic or metal eh... pag pinitik mo sa lower part ng gilid, may metallic ping... kung sa ibabaw naman, feels like very good plastic.
hollow yung ilalim... kung papayag utol ko buksan, lagyan namin ng foam... maybe tape mod also.

cons: walang backlight, hindi hotswap.
