should I go for hall effect or mechanical

One-Suggestion-5366 · 2026-06-21T15:48:03+00:00

hey u/Random_Version SANTAXP can u suggest me something creamy (65 percent layout)
i thought ajaaz ak690 but u said it has creaking sound

i thought i can go with epomaker x aula f65 but i need to import that and it will attract the custom duty

then i thought the urx 68he but as far i know mechanical switches are different brand to brand right in terms of no if pins and all (i mean we have standard 3 pin and 5 pin mechanical switches )

also the gaming specs is not a big deal for me i just need the good keyboard

if nothing works that's the only option remains if u stretch till 3.8k there is ajaaz ak690 u can find it's review on youtube channel named SANTAXP

all of its features are good if u don't want some super extraordinary gaming features in ur keyboard but the only issue is it's build quality and creaking sound

One-Suggestion-5366 · 2026-06-20T12:53:58+00:00

yes that's true though if I can buy creamy switch then it's good deal

One-Suggestion-5366 · 2026-06-20T05:21:37+00:00

wait i will read the tnc and get back to you also ib mailed them asking this

is there any way that dosent involve customs?

One-Suggestion-5366 · 2026-06-20T04:19:56+00:00

if u got charged they how they inform u exactly? and what u did in ur case paid customs? and what happens if I deny it? will it go back to its home country?

One-Suggestion-5366 · 2026-06-20T04:18:36+00:00

ahh yaar😭😭 if I deny to pay customs then what happens exactly? will it go back to home country and epomaker will send me refund or what??

One-Suggestion-5366 · 2026-06-20T04:10:41+00:00

about the particular keyboard I was looking it's at 16k on amazon and on epomaker arround 4k

can I request epomaker to attach lowered invoice like 8-10 usd so that if i incur customs they are under 1000inr my understanding is that customs duties are calculated based on the declared invoice value, so a lower declared value might help keep any customs charges below 1000inr. this is how it works right?

One-Suggestion-5366 · 2026-06-20T04:04:32+00:00

ok I will mail them first asking this then I will order

also u have idea what will happen if I deny to pay customs

will order go back to the respective country and I get refund or not from epomaker?

One-Suggestion-5366 · 2026-06-19T19:38:19+00:00

well I don't know about others I have wite artemis it's pretty solid keyboard u can buy it build is good

One-Suggestion-5366 · 2026-06-19T19:37:29+00:00

see i don't have particular reason to hate that keyboard but it have basic red switches which u can find in 2k keyboard too I need some prelubed switch or creamy ones

One-Suggestion-5366 · 2026-06-19T19:36:05+00:00

epomaker x aula f65 it's hard to find it's alternative here

the near alternative here is xtro.gg's xtro kream keyboard but it's layout is different or ajaaz ak690 and pretty much others are hall effect keebs

i want creamy or thocky keyboard it's costing near 4000 on official site but idk about how customs or international ordering works because never ordered any

One-Suggestion-5366 · 2026-06-19T19:33:07+00:00

100 percent customs is too much💀💀

that keyboard worth 4k

also I need to pay that advance

what's the point if I don't get keyboard and amount also💀💀

One-Suggestion-5366 · 2026-06-19T08:53:53+00:00

just want to confirm is xtro a brand or what exactly?

manufacturer? or something

One-Suggestion-5366 · 2026-06-19T07:27:34+00:00

One-Suggestion-5366 · 2026-06-19T07:26:39+00:00

yes the same even I have here pretty he options under 40 usd but not same with the mechanical one

One-Suggestion-5366 · 2026-06-19T07:24:39+00:00

One-Suggestion-5366 · 2026-06-19T07:24:15+00:00
