Mechanical Keyboard

[rdeng2614]

I am in the market for a mechanical keyboard, preferably MX Browns or something similar to that.

 

I was looking at the Corsair K70 Non-RGB as I am not going to use RGB lighting, Corsair Quickfire Ultimate, and the Ducky Shine 4.

 

Ducky Shine 4 is going to be released in about a month, should I wait for it if I don't use RGB that much? Is it worth the extra price tag?

 

Any other good mechanical keyboards out there? Keep in mind that I will probably not use RGB lighting.

 

I have a budget around 140-150$ ish, but definitely not higher than that.

I have a special edition ducky shine 3, and i thoroughly recommend it with brown switches, the functions of a ducky keyboard are limited to physical functions (no software to do fancy stuff)

BUT the ducky keyboards are extremely well built and feel great!

Dont go with rgb browns. I have a rgb k70 with brown switches and many of the keys are inconsistent. Some of them even feel like membrane switches, i admit high end membrane but some are just icky.

I would second the DK3. It's been well worked out and since you don't care for RGB there's no reason to pay the premium.

He said he wasn't going to go RGB anyways.

 

@rdeng2614 Check out the link in my sig for some info on switches. There's a quiz there to see if browns are really your thing. 

But all these are safe bets:

Cooler Master Quickfire TK/Rapid/ XT

Ducky anything

WASD anything

Corsair's K70 if you can find it

Logitech's G710+ if you don't type super hard and break the keycaps

Anything directly from Cherry 

Das makes good stuff and happens to use a ruler for a stand on the back

Filco is good

Just a start

I'm solo sick of saying this to buyers! it matters on the switch and build quality not the brand!

go for one of the main four: brown, blue, red, and blacks

if u intend on using razer mx blues and browns are very similar to the green and orange (respectively)

if u don't know what these feel like u should search them up

sorry if i hurt ur feelings with the first line BB.

Is ducky shine 4 just an Rgb version of ducky shine 3?

bump.

The Shine 4 uses Dual LED's (Red and Blue) instead of the three needed for RGB. 

[rdeng2614]

But are there differences in the keyboard itself (the hardware) between the Ducky Shine 3 and Ducky Shine 4?

I would get the Ducky Shine 4 if you aren't looking for RGB.
