£30-£50 Keyboard

[Charcoal_]

Hi!

So I need a new keyboard. I'm not rich so won't be spending £150 but I do want a good mechanical keyboard for gaming.

I'd like:

Mechanical (I'm not a switch expert, you pick)

Full size

Back-lit in green (or RGB/Disable-able otherwise not at all)

UK QWERTY layout (I can deal with US layout if it's a good deal)

 

I know I'm being quite specific, sorry, but if you could find something that suits most of my requests I'd be grateful.

 

Thanks in advance!

You really don't have that much of a choice. I'd get the ducky keyboard since it has Cherry MX Blues.

You could get the E-Element 87 that I have but its the tenkeyless so its not RGB or green

The "ducky keyboard" is a wrist pad for it. A ducky shine 4 should cost no less than £120 new really...

I'll drop to 10 keyless. They seem much more common.

My tenkeyless

The RGB fullsized is £65 but honestly even if the tenkeyless was the same sized as the full one id go for tenkeyless i really love the form factor.

I think I'll be going for one of these. I'm OK with the white lights. Now to decide whether I get 10-keyless.

I use it in GMod and other games as a bind pad. Also I can type much faster with it for my pins and maths work.

You might be better getting the fullsized version, in my case the only time I would of needed a keypad is for trainers in games like GTA but I can just change the config file to use the arrow keys.

Still waiting for it to arrive. I'll have it Mon-Wed.

It's clicky!

I'll have to get used to it. The key spacings are different and it's a US layout. Thanks thou!
