Title: My favourite 'budget' 87% to date. For a few reasons.
Post by: x9Memoriez on Sun, 06 December 2015, 22:54:40

Hey GHers,

A few weeks ago I received my Deck Francium Lite, (non backlit) for an astonishing 95 AUD on MechKB. No disgusting papyrus font nor 130$+ USD that most deck keyboards cost in the US. Plus.

Called MechKB, and because of my greedy nature, wanted even more for my 95$ that was already a steal. What I got?

A set of Vortex Double shot Thick PBTs.

Yep. Because my Deck was the Oceanic/Asia version, it didn't come with those pbts that you expect from deck, rather thin, flimsy, Helvetica printed ABS keycaps.

Gave MechKB an email, and their astounding customer service included a set of Vortex DS PBTs that they ripped off a broken Vortex IKBC F104 that was returned. Double Plus.

95$ Minimalistic Double shot PBT Keyboard that has a half decent font (even if it is italicised). Yes Please.

Sorry about the potato photo. Terrible lighting and a crappy camera doesnt mix.

Not a bad looking board for the price!

I've found MechKB to very good - in particular Alex was very helpful

Welcome to the forum btw!
