Torn between this two TKL....

[sor]

Hello! this is my first thread in the forum, I live in malaysia i can get the QFR for rm265(can claim warranty 1 year, but the QFR rubber coating on its body disturb me) and the Keycool shipped from china around rm210(and i can spend some on keycaps, but later on there would be warranty problem)

so im kinda torn between this two, which one u guys thinks better? also my previous board is rk9000 mx red.

Thanks

Either would be fine. I would choose Keycool because of the price difference.

The rubber coating on the QFR can be removed fairly easily, it's just time consuming.
The Keycool reviews I have seen usually recommend it as a good board.
I don't think you'll be disappointed with either one.

I wouldn't pay $80 for a  QFR.  So between the two I'd go for the keycool since its cheaper.  As for the warranty I think you'd still have to pay shipping to RMA it so it might not even be worth it.

I always recommend a QFR to people who are new to the hobby. I just think it's a great beginners board. That being said, $80 is a bit steep.

i imagine if the peel starts at where we lay our hands the most that would be iritating, my only verdict to get the keyboard cause of its 1year warranty

Tear a TKL in half, what do you have... an Ergodox.

-simply the greatest

I would assume the keyboard would last you a year even if you travel a lot, as long as you aren't rough with it.  You will most likely get bored of the board before it breaks.

You can replace the case top on a QFR.  I think the black ones do not have the rubber coating.

Nope, they do indeed have the rubber coating.  May be thinner though, according to photoelectric's posts.

idk how hard to sandpaper it till the rubber coat evenly remove... buy maybe im getting the keycool, according to rowdy the built quality almost the same and the tyyping experience too compare to qfr just lacks the warranty tho(as long as the board last atleast 1 year..)
