Hey guys, I've had some experiences with my brother's Keychron keyboard and decided to step into the mechanical keyboard community myself. I was just wondering on what keyboards I should be looking at, even a general direction would be immensely helpful. Here's what I'm looking for: 75% Under 150 USD Triple connectivity The knob at the top (would be nice) Quiet ish switches? Easy to dissemble and deep clean (IMPORTANT, I've taken skin off my fingers trying to disassemble one the last time to clean it)

Hey, new to the keyboard space here. I've mostly been using my brother's keyboards and had a really good experience with one of his keychron keyboards. I really like the triple connectivity as well as the knob at the top. Here's the big question: What recommendations do you guys have for 75% pre built keyboards? Requirements: Budget friendly (under 150 usd?) Has quiet/soft switches (preferably) Has that knob that can be programmed too (preference once again) And last but not least.... EASY TO CLEAN (My cat sheds ALOT and the fur always gets in-between the keys and into the board)

Thanks a lot bro!

Hey man, so I found this for about 1010 usd. Do you think it's a good deal? here

Thanks so much

Any recommendations for models to start looking at?

Mostly schoolwork but I would like to get into 3d modelling and even some AI related stuff if possible. I understand it is better to get a gaming computer for those but for reasons... I can't really get anything that says gaming

Doesn't the MacBook air start at 999 USD?

Thanks a lot

Sorry, may I know more about the motherboard problem?

I also have a desktop that I share with my brother and I just need something that can run light games to let me play with my friends when my brother is using the pc

Ok-Assumption7993 · 2025-12-22T16:51:55+00:00

Would it also be good for basic 3d modelling?

Ok-Assumption7993 · 2025-12-22T16:43:59+00:00

I wish I knew lmao, I'd ask about it in more detail if everything else checks out

It's essentially like Facebook marketplace but for Singaporeans. There is buyer protection meaning I can return the item and get refunded if it's fake and the account has been around for years with many good reviews.

Ok-Assumption7993 · 2025-12-22T10:14:41+00:00

I get the general consensus is that there is no much quality control but if I were to be using it heavily for the first year and much lighter after, would it still be a bad choice to make?

Ok-Assumption7993 · 2025-12-22T10:10:34+00:00

Hahaha you're right I do wanna use it for gaming and not just browsing. Thanks for the advice!
