    The Royal Kludge is available at any DataBlitz stores and at Lazada/Shopee.

    My personal recommendation is Keychron K2. It's 2x more expensive than the Royal Kludge though.

    HyperX mech keyboards are good too.
    I've been eyeing the keychron C2. It's the only full qwerty keychron has. Gusto ko sana yung keychron k4 v2 because it has a numpad, but sadly my work also needs the break/pause key (specifically the ctrl + break key combo). Kaya I have no choice but always opt for a full keyboard.

    alas, it departs from my typing style...
    heh heh.
    sanay na kasi tayong touch-type...
    it's like playing the piano without having to look at the keys.

    The HyperX Alloy FPS mech keyboard is something I would highly recommend. Price is between ₱3-4T. I have the Cherry MX blue and red. The blue ones are noisy and clicky while the red is silent and linear. If you don't like noisy mech keyboards, go for the red one.

    I bought these at DataBlitz 2 years ago. It's quite durable and easy to clean.

    Btw the ten keyless ones doesn't come with the numpad. I prefer this layout for the short width but with enough room for the arrow keys.

    The Keychron K2 that I shared with the pictures is much shorter. I sometimes notice I'm making more key typing mistakes with the Keychron compared with the HyperX.

    Pretty new to mechanical keyboards and I just wanted something that had backlit keys for those times when I worked late on the PC so I just got one of those K880 (full keyboard with num pad) for me and K550 (for my wife) "Leaven" keyboards with blue switches around Christmas last year.

    The K880 hasn't had any problems. So far I've had to replace 3 keys on the K550. Replacement blue switches are cheap but, since I have the cheapest variant, the switches aren't hot swappable so it takes a bit of disassembly and soldering each time I had to fix it.

    I had the blue switches. Bought a bunch of reds and replaced them all. Medyo ma trabaho pero replacing each switch and testing them one by one gives a small satisfaction pag hindi mo na naririnig yung click. [emoji16]

    Yung Outemu blue di lang "clack" may "ping" pa. Kahit yung red maingay in an office setting. Brown ang tahimik.

    I've swapped around some switches dahil yung mga overused nagloloko na. Inconsistent ang Outemu. Minsan madaling tanggalin. Minsan naman ang puller ang bumibigay.

    Yep that one problem I encountered with outemu. Hindi consistent yung pag hila ng switch, may mahirap mahila may madali.

    HyperX key switches are durable, perhaps because its Cherry MX

    Bought this keychron k4 v2 last week. I've been using a full qwerty keyboard and adjusting to this kind of configuration is a bit learning curved.

    I replaced the arrows with this red PlayStation buttons to give me a visual cue where the arrows are, it also helps separate the num pad.

    Also ordered keycaps from shopee that will group the keys with different color schemes para Mas madali ma distinguish. Especially the function key, the keycaps I ordered will give F1 to F4 a different color from F5 to F8, and so on. Sa full qwerty kasi separated ang function keys in 4, kaya madali. The new keycaps would also help distinguish where the function keys end and the delete key begins.

    This keyboard is shorter than the full qwerty so now my mouse has a wider movement stage.

    The switches are gateron brown, currently satisfied with it. Nung nanood ako sa youtube dami pala varients ng gateron, will probably try other variants pag sinipag mag customise.

    I started sa full-sized mechanical keyboard (Filco Majestouch 2) then switched to tenkeyless (Magicforce 68) then 60% (Anne Pro 2). Though pwede gamitin yung ibang keys ng Anne Pro 2 as arrow keys, iba pa din talaga may dedicated arrow keys so I bought and still using Skyloong SK64S (64 keys using optical switches). Changed the stock Gateron brown switches to Gateron red as well as keycaps.

    Been using brown switches ever since pero last year, sumasakit na fingers ko after using it for work or gaming so I tried red switches which has been a good change for me.

    Changed the keycaps of my keyboard.

    From this

    To this

    Not translucent but bigger letters for easier reading, for people like me with eye problems.
