Help me find the right keyboard (please)

[bob1313134]

What I'm looking for

• Red switches
• No Keypad
• Blue Backlight
• F keys close to number row and escape pad
  • ^ Here is an example of this -- http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41FG5cpLJvL._SX466_.jpg
• Simple design (ideally not too many markings or logos etc)
   

What I have found

• Keycool II 84 Keys Portable Backlight Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
• Noppoo Lolita 87 USB NKRO Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with LED backlighting

 

Any recommendations? Other options? Places to buy this?  I cannot find a single place to buy this right now (I cannot find either the Keycool or Nopoo)! Please help.

Poker 2 perhaps?

Have you thought of 60% keyboards? Or do you need a keyboard with F-keys? There aren't too many keyboards who have a squished down top row of keys. :c

Thanks for the reply. Doesn't look like it has F keys. Def need those.

Yes absolutely.

 

Anyone know where I can buy the Keycool?

 

The F keys dont have to be super squished down. But something that is easily reachable for use in MOBOS (i.e. dota)

Try using the PCPartPicker of your country. For me it's simply www.pcpartpicker.com but depending on where you live it will be different.

Simply go to Google and search for PCPartPicker and buy the Keycool through there.

I wasn't able to find the Keycool with that LED and switch combination. I did however manage to find the Noppoo Lolita. (Using cloned version of the Cherry MX Red, I think)

This looks great, but I'm not going to buy a keyboard with the words Lolita on it. I'm sure that means something else for this company, but the common sense definition of Lolita is "    a sexually precocious young girl" . LOL given how much porn there is on the interent, etc...it's a really socially awk to have this.

 

EDIT: Just want to emphasis how thankful I am to you for putting in the time to look for this. I really appreciate the effort. If you find anything else, please let me know. Cheers

Noppoo Choc Mini ? Looks like the same keyboard with a different name, though.

 

EDIT: KBT Race, also.

Aweomse! Thanks

 

It doesn't like the Choc Mini lights up   ... but still it's my best and only option thus far

 

The KBT Races is 200$ plus. Out of my budget.

 

IF any other ideas come up, let me know. I wish I could find the keyboard in my first post, but alas I cant. I think they are only sold in China or something

They're either 70% or 75% keyboards but they're really really hard to find and I think you're precluding yourself a whole lot of keyboards this way.

Also, sorry for asking and going off-topic, but have you actually tried that? I mean, I could never use such a keyboard as I'm too used to my standard/ten-key-less layout, you might even feel uncomfortable typing on it if you're coming from another kind of keyboard. You might be better off with a gaming pad or something imho.

By the way, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA52S2FM1543&cm_re=kbt-_-0GA-000Z-02DE2-_-Product (Cherry MX Black though..)

75% is not a big priority.

 

What I want is

• Red switches
• F keys that are right above numbers keys (like in ones in this thread)
• Ideally backlit
• If possible, no keypad (but this isn't a huge deal)

Ducky shine mini? The F keys are ON the number row

Ducky shine mini? The F keys are ON the number row

 

Thanks for the idea. I definetely want a stand alone F keys. I'm looking to increase the number of keys close to the wasd row from MOBO gaming.

 

Probably going to buy this soon --- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091QOCNA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A302LNMYK8KSP0

 

Anyone know where I can find a review of this product.

[Charger]

well there is the deck 82 but it is black switches and i also cant find it in stock anywhere

my diy keyboard is build off parts from a keyboard their parent company makes but the problem it has is odd key layout and keycap sizes

[bob1313134]

What if didn't limit it to a small keyboard.

 

Just want red switches, blue back light, and F keys next to number keys.

[Robi_g]

what about a keyboard that has macro keys to the left of the board? You might have more choice with that

[bob1313134]

might work.

 

i'm also lookg at this now --- Corsair K65
