AULA vs Mpow

[toastythomas]

I'm in want of a new keyboard this Christmas (currently using CM Devastator) and I'm not sure which keyboard on the cheap I should get.

Mpow Mechanical Gaming Keyboard,87 Keys Anti-Ghosting PC Gaming Keyboard with Blue Switches

or

AULA Anti-ghosting 87 Keys Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Blue Switches,USB Plug By AFUNTA -Black

 

If you guys have any other suggestions, even some more expensive, I would love to hear them.

They're both shitty, there probably basically the same just pick one and you'll get what you pay for. I'd recommend a better keyboard in the $80-100 range.

The Corsair K65 is really cheap atm, and its a good board for the money. Amazon is selling it for $50, pick them on the 'used and new from $50' thing

Dude, thank you for your advice, but that's not the question at hand. I don't understand why you cannot answer the question or not answer.

Between the two, I'd go Mpow for the key layout. That said, I used an AULA board with black switches for a while, and while it's clearly cheap as dirt, it held up well. Plenty springy.

 

That said, if blue switches are your thing, keep an eye on Newegg. A Cherry MX Blue Rosewill board will occasionally go on sale for $30 after MIR. If the price on this guy comes down, I highly recommend it. It looks good and Switch Master blue switches feel better than Cherry blues to me. They're definitely louder, though.
