Wireless Mechanical Keyboard Recommendation

[Oswin]

currently looking for a wireless keyboard for under $90 US.

 

things to note:

1. currently considering the G613

2. i dont mind using roamer g switches

3. i dont prefer blue switches

4. mostly used for typing and gaming

5. rgb isnt a must have

6. 108 or TKL is completely fine

 

* for reference the g613 is $84

As an option, if you don't like the layout or something else there are other options. If you are fine with smaller boards consider Anne Pro 2, on https://www.banggood.com/Gateron-SwitchAnne-Pro-2-60-NKRO-bluetooth-4_0-Type-C-RGB-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard-p-1337350.html?ID=224515632&cur_warehouse=CN here and on aliexpress it's under 80 bucks.

Forgot to mention this https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Velocifire-VM02WS-Copywriters-Programmer/dp/B07MQD7WNB it's very decent and low key board, build quality is actually okay, which might be surprising considering the price and features. Would even enable you to use leftover money and get a nice set of PBT caps.

the anne pro 2 seems solid but the shipping for it is quite expensive

Have you tried looking on aliexpress? Might be cheaper.

Corsair K63 Wireless. It's TKL, blue backlit, and right at $90. It comes with Cherry MX Reds.

cant seem to find cherry reds here, most of them are sold in blues

I didn't even realize you could get one with blue switches.

most of them list "blue switches" in the description, cant seem to find anyone who managed to sell this keyboard well here. probably not that popular, but i will see if i can find more

TKL is good also, not much different, only smaller.

Got it, not too familiar with Indonesian laws tbh. When buying from aliexpress they can send the item from China, which should make shipping cheaper.

I might get flamed, but the Dell KM714 is the bomb...use it at work and at home.  Only $58.27 USD...

i'm open to suggestions though yes, this doesn't fit in the "mechanical keyboard" territory

I feel ya...I love old mechanical boards too.  That said after trying the KM714...I don't "miss" my old mechanical board.

Then buying that Velocifire would be best option for you, don't waste money on Corsair, it's quality is no better in any aspect, you would be paying extra because it's Corsair, not because it's better.

It's garbage, yeah.Usable but that's about it. Velocifire doesn't require any software.

recently read the reviews of the TKL version on amazon

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GPC7P1M/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=f0f69d-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07GPC7P1M&linkId=292bb716e2b7eb4d8ffb4fb1e31879d4

is this really a big issue with this keyboard?

[nox_]

2 of my friends have it, one of them used it for about a year, no problem with it. Maybe those reviewers got faulty boards, that's kinda possible.

Visually they are, one of them has logo over arrow keys and other does not. My friends have the one without logo.
