I have just recently received a K70 Lux with Cherry MX Blue switches which I am replacing my old Blackwidow. Enjoying it a lot, I found out that the click in the Blackwidow with Razer Green switches (Confirmed to be not Kailh but from Greetech, phew!) to be more louder or crispy but the tactile bump or "clack" is more noticeable for me on the K70 Lux. I do NOT intend to say that the Blackwidow is bad, its a great keyboard in general and I might use it from time to time but I just favour Corsair over Razer because the features and overall build I found is more pleasing!

Oh i also might start customize my key caps and i generally don't know where I could begin, I found the contoured key caps to be a hassle for some reason and I want a keycaps for my arrow keys and escape keys first with a gaming element like a Zelda Triforce that some people have.

Corsair does make some great keyboards. I've used the K70 and K95 before and they were awesome, but personally I prefer Ducky. I own a Ducky Shine 6 and it's the best keyboard i've ever had.

I have actually tested a sample that was in store whilst I was in Hong Kong and I see why Luke actually loves them! I received the K70 before I managed to find a Ducky since they were at a different location so I couldn't get one.  Rn the keyboards I would want to get in the future (switches also in particularly) are Topre and IBM model M or the new ones from Unicomp but idk if I can get one since they are in America and I am in England.

Ahh, IBM Model M. Retro.

 

And true. It's a pain in the ass to find stuff like that if you're anywhere outside of the US

I have been on the American site but to order from England, Unicomp doesn't apply to where I live, so it wont be as easy.

Yeah I just figured that out haha

 

But, there is alternatives. Would a W95 work for you? It's pretty close to the Model M, almost exactly the same. And it ships to UK

 

Also, there's this

Just put in a credit card on your Amazon account. You'll pay however much it is in pounds, and the seller will receive that much in US dollars
