New Mechanical Keyboard Recommendation

Nickwayne — Fri, 10 Sep 2021 11:47:17 +0800

Hi guys i am using Logitech G413 (romeo G switches) now and looking for a replacement.

Budget : RM400+/-
Size : Full size with numpad
Key : similar to romeo g, i guess something like mx brown? I dislike the clicky sound
RGB and macro key : cincai, not compulsary
wired or wireless : cincai, not compulsary
usage : work and light gaming

For those who curious, the romeo g switch started double tap or non responsive after 2.5 years+ especially on the frequent button (ESC and Spacebar). The keycap design also weird as the keycap leg snapped and stucked inside the switch lol

Previously owned a Armaggeddon MKA-3C. Dont like the blue switch and TKL is slightly inconvenient.

Now looking at Ducky One 2 Horizon. (Anyone know where to purchase except shopee/lazada?)

Hopefully to get some other good MKB recommendation

Nickwayne — Fri, 25 May 2018 22:13:12 +0800

Hi gais, i am helping a relative out since i am going to view the car with him this weekend. Need more sifus advice.

Toyota Vois 2015 J spec - 50k mileage,Lowest Spec, Auto, but come with touch screen audio (toyota free to car owner due to some discount)

Direct buy from owner, introduced by another friend. Friend say this owner take care car, like no accident before also.

Assume after i view the car and condition is okay, how much is the car worth? I tried ask few 2nd car dealer they quoted me around 43k if they are taking the car. From other car selling site is around 48-52k depend on condition.

Also anything should i look out during drive test and car viewing? Imo should be okay right since vios is a reputable solid car, just need second opinion.

1 Night Stay at Genting but no more hotel

Nickwayne — Sat, 11 Nov 2017 03:43:14 +0800

Guys, i am going to stay 1 night Genting Highland next Saturday 18/11/2017 and wish to stay after concert, it will be late by then and i wish to stay as near as possible to genting.

Somehow i found on their website all their hotels room is fully booked except for First World Hotel's crappy room at RM750++
I dont mind spending abit for better room, but the RM750 for first world hotel is just unacceptable.

My budget is arround RM500+, guys any suggestion?
I search and found one named "Grand Ion Delemen Hotel", any idea how close it was to Genting and how convenient? Cant really have a clear picture on google maps though.

Toyota Altis 1.8 (2010) Advise Needed

Nickwayne — Sun, 22 Oct 2017 15:55:54 +0800

Hey guys, my father's friend is trying to sell his car - Toyota Altis 1.8 (2010). I am interested to buy it but need more advise from any current Altis owner. More Info as per below:

1. Toyota Altis 1.8 (Mg Year 2010)
2. The mileage is about 20k (My father can confirm it is genuine, because they know each others for years and the seller only drive this car in weekend)
3. Selling price RM45k-50k (yet to negotiate)

From what i saw the condition is quite good, no major accidents happened before, haven't test drive it though.

My concern is the cost of spare parts replacement or maintenance high? (even low mileage, but there is still risk right?), also how is the fuel consumption? and the car seems like do not have much safety features (ESC etc)

Any advice and opinion is welcome If you have any other idea, my budget is around RM50k and look for a comfortable sedan car.

Used Kia Forte or New Persona 2016

Nickwayne — Tue, 27 Sep 2016 00:45:44 +0800

Hi all, asking on behalf of my friend here.

My friend recently looking for a sedan car for home-work-home city drive car (occasionally balik kampung) with budget around RM70k +-

We have test drove few car and short listed to the New Persona Premium 1.6 (2016), or an Used 2014 KIA Forte 1.6

1. Persona Premium, 1.6 (2016) - Overall performance is quite decent given the RM60k price.
2. Used 2014 Kia Forte 1.6 - Searched few used car dealer but never test drive. I heard the comment is quite okay. Those used car were priced below RM50k and have low mileage 30k-50k. We were wondering why the KIA car depreciate so much and smell something fishy (Though those seller keep "guarantee" accident free/good condition etc). Link for reference below.

Used Kia 2014
Used Kia 2013

Any comment/advise? My friend is quite interested in those low mileage used KIA Forte (2013-2014) but i feel suspicious on these car.

My friend opinion for other segment B car as below:
1. Honda City - Quite good but too pricey.
2. Toyota Vios - Lack of safety feature and outdated technology. Not worth it.
3. Mazda 2 - Looks nice, but size a bit small and may have high maintenance cost.
4. Nissan Almera - Looks not nice and lack of safety feature.
5. Kia Rio R2 - Very good safety feature and comfy, however pick up quite slow and under-power with 1.4 engine.

The above are just our humble opinion. Please don't bash us as we do not know a lot about car.

Huawei Honour 6 or OnePlus One

Nickwayne — Sun, 17 May 2015 21:46:25 +0800

Hi all forumer!

Please provide some advice as I am struggling to choose from these two phone after my Samsung S3 constant freeze and drives me nut.

Originally the Xiaomi Mi4 is the perfect choice for me... until i realize it does not support 4G in Malaysia.

Now, I have done some research and struggling to choose between Huawei Honour 6 and OnePlus One. Spec wise they are pretty similar tho.

Huawei Honor 6:
1. 5inch is perfect but the I dislike on screen button which make the screen even smaller. (WHY YOU DO THAT HUAWEI?)
2. The Kirin octa core which has slower processing speed than the quad core snapdragon801 (Still somehow acceptable as I am not a heavy gamer, but some say the kirin core is not good)

OnePlus One:
1. Come with slightly bigger 5.5inch screen which I feel a little bit too big.
2. Cyanogen mod may have some bugs. (From what i saw on the review)

Any current user of these two phone can provide me some review on the usage? For example heat problem or any failure occurred. Thanks alot!

**Edited: Or any suggestion for good phone around RM1k+-?
