Hello everyone.
I've looking for a good MK I didn't find the 'perfect' one yet.
There a few things I need to be aware before actually buying one.
- Any package from US, usually, is very expensive, some times it costs more then keyboard itself.
mechanicalkeyboards.com doesn't ship to where I live, Brazil.[/li]
[li]The price, I cannot afford more than 120 usd, at least for my first keyboard[/li]
[li]I only know/tried one switch (green clicky) and because of that I think the keyboards with hot-swap would fit me better.[/li]
[/list]
Sooo, I'm trying to decide between the Keychron K8, DROP ENTR, GMMK White.
Keychron would resolve all my problems, but I saw some bad reviews about it.
I'd love to get some international shops that sells Leopold and others brands.

I need help find a good TKL MK around USD 115.
Sorry about my english, I can try to rephrase in case you don't understand everything.
Ty in advance.

Hi! There is a meme about the "end game keyboard" and that it doesn't exist :)
I don't know about the models you are mentioning, but I can tell you this; it took me some time of testing different layouts before I converged to something I liked, and I still experiment.
Many in the community enjoy tinkering, building things and trying stuff out. There are a lot of ways to start out. Some just want a first conventional mech and buys one. However, you can
also, e.g., 3d-print a case, and, e.g., test some stuff with a hotswap pcb or even do some wiring. There might be a "hacker space" close to you with all the necessary equipment!
I remember when I bought my first Poker mk, and thought I would use that forever, and here I sit and type this on a 40% ortho, which I wouldn't imagine back then!
Good luck!
