Mechanical keyboard like the Trigger Z, but with MX Browns, Reds, and Red backlight?

Hello, so my friend and I want to get matching mechanical keyboards (for no good reason). The requirements are that it must have red backlights, have Cherry MX Reds and Browns/Blues available, be $100 or less, and look pretty. lol. These aren't necessary, but they would be nice: macros, volume wheel (why couldn't the K70 be cheaper ;-; ), and wrist rest. Since you read that you get these.  :ph34r:  ;)  :P  :)  :lol:  :D  B)  :angry:  :( Thanks!

My friend got a B grade K70 and is happy with it. (it has Red backlighting and MX Reds).

He got it for 90 euros, maybe you could look for something like that

What size board do you want? Full size, TKL, 60%/70% or does it matter?

 

For full size, here's what I could find: https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=285 (Cherry red)

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=74 (Cherry Brown)

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1141 (This is a returned version of the one above. Posted because it is under $100.)

Are you buying three keyboards? Why not make up your mind and have it easier on everyone?

I think that OP and his/her friend want to have matching keyboards externally, but one of them wants reds, and the other one wants either blues or browns, but isn't particular about which of those two it is. That's what I got from the first post, anyway....

I'm buying one for my friend and buying one for myself because we want to have matching keyboards. Why? Idk lol.

Yep, you're right. I like browns/blues and my friend likes Reds.

Well, hopefully the two I posted above are helpful. Again though, do you want a specific size/layout, or does it matter?

They are helpful and I'll look into Cooler Master more. I'd rather have it full-size with a numpad. Because both my friend and I have agreed on that.

Yeah. The nice thing about that particular board is that it has the full numpad, despite being a TKL form factor. (you just hit numlock if you want the normal control group with arrow keys and pageup/pagedown, etc.)

 

IMO, it's the only TKL I'd get, although, funnily enough, my next board is going to be a 60%. I guess I'm only willing to do all or nothing, where I'll just deal with a second key layer.

Lol. We were going to get the Trigger Z, but then I stopped my friend. There were no Reds. He probably went around breaking every fragile thing in his house after that.

According to Cooler Master, you can get it with reds. They also say that the different switch types get their own colors (as in, blue switches get blue LEDs, red switches get red LEDs, and browns get white LEDs) That's how the TK is supposed to be, so far as I can tell, but mechanical keyboards has all the switch colors in red, apparently...

Cooler Master is a liar :( Check on Amazon, Newegg, anything. No Reds in sight. Only blues. They are the survivors of the apocalypse. :o

I guess it's something similar to corsair and the K70RGB issues with blues. As of right now (AFAIK) you can only get cherry clue with the K95 RGB, as far as RGB keyboards go...
