Cooler master or corsair?

[KZEE]

I’m planning to upgrade my keyboard into RGB gaming keyboard. I’m MX Cherry Red and/or silver keys switches.

 

I’ve looked for many keyboards and end up between 2 keyboards:

 

1: COOLER MASTER MK850

https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/peripheral/keyboards/mk850/

what I like:

- get purple keys

- the cool shape

- soft foam pad / wrist rest

 

2: CORSAIR K95 RGB PLATINUM

https://www.corsair.com/ww/en/Categories/Products/Gaming-Keyboards/RGB-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboards/k95-rgb-platinum-config-na/p/CH-9127012-KR2

What I like:

- cool RGB color

- keyboard font

Those keyboards are too big for gaming.

IMO full sized keyboards are fine

My hands hurt even seeing those keyboards.

You literally can never go right with Corsair on keyboards.

Also, I would personally go with the K95

That's nonsense.

@KZEE These two boards are a bit similar, it terms of features at least. Corsair uses non standard keycaps, CM uses standard ones, easier to replace if you want to change up the way it looks, and get better caps, because both of them use thin shit abs lasered keycaps. In general I would go for CM, but the Corsair one looks better... Visually only that is.

@Genwyn He is looking and at full size boards and you recommend hhkb's? They are tiny boards,smaller than TKL even.

 

@hello_there_123 Agree on looking at https://www.pcgamingrace.com/products/gmmk-full-customized?variant=20235337826362   great board for the price, if the op does not need dedicated macros, this would be great option.

Your hands are too wide open when you play games with a full size keyboard.

You mean that the mouse is very far away cause the board is in the way? It's kinda true in a way, but you still can play games successfully, that only bothers some, I played games on full size board years, and it was fine.

Manlets are usually wide and short. Seriously tho that's not healthy.

So you have 2 boards then? 1 for gaming, other for work? Many people use and need numpads in their work, macros even.

I have a wireless numpad and a 75% keyboard.

he didnt specify directly that he was looking for just fullsize, and theyre not a 100% suggestion but rather a description of a category of more enthusiast tier keyboards rather than consumer tier mechanicals

hhkb, ducky, daskeyboard, CODE, filco stuff, etc

 

daskeyboards? Those are shit, hhkb are very pricey boards, way above ducky when it comes to prices, of all manufacturers you mentioned IMHO only hhkb's are enthusiast tier boards. Filco, ducky, even code, they are very much consumer tier as you put it.

now im just personally offended you would call filco a consumer tier manufacturer

my philsophy on keyboards is that you should always use what is the most comfortable for you to type on, doesnt matter if its a 20$ logitech slim rubber dome or a fully hand assembled custom board, if you type on it good then it is good, hence why im typing on a sejin electroniks board from 1998

i would honestly even say the opposite, that hhkb's are more of a consumer tier board rather than for keyboard peoples, but still not on the same level as things like corsair and cooler master

which arent bad boards either but are very much so "keyboards for the masses"

 

Filco is consumer tier imho, CoolerMaster even offers some rebranded filco boards, imho Filco is great, but still consumer tier, sorry to bother @geo3 whats your opinion on this matter? Is Filco consumer tier or not?

IMO any off the shelf keyboard would be 'consumer tier'. Ducky, Filco, Leopold, Varmilo, Vortex, HHKB, CoolerMaster, etc. It's just that some are higher end than others.  I'd say if it's made to order, that is if they assemble it only after you order it, or you assemble it yourself, then it's not.

Never thought of it that way, but I think I agree with your opinion,thank you for the response.

I see where your coming from but I kinda find it funny that when you have to build something yourself it becomes better or is a higher tier of product which is often the case cause you get to choose the switch the case and the pcb often resulting ina much more expensive unit  but the logic should be opposite like a pre built pc vs not. but then again Glorious does offer a prett cheap set regardless.

People have different bideltoid sizes. If op does hes lucky because he gets more buttons than smaller framed people without getting in the way.

Maybe if he is Hulk Hogan.
