I have spent a ages look for a decent keyboard with Cherry Red MX switches, a hand rest, smaller size (around 35 cm wide) and preferably comes in blue for under £80 however wouldn't mind if it was red. The best i can find is the Corsair K63 which is £90 (out of my budget) has anyone got any ideas, thanks in advance. Also what does the anti-ghosting technology in keyboards actually do, eliminate ghosting - if so does it actually work or is it just a gimmick?

Have you looked at what reddragon offers?

yeah but it seems a lot less expensive and i know it doesn't mean it's worse as price doesn't mean everything but i would assume there are some drawbacks, right? Also the K552 seems good however only come witch a cherry mx blue equivilent.

Reddragon is very good for the price, I would recommend reddragon to anyone on a budget, sturdy boards, decent build really. Abs keycaps can be replaced very cheaply and you know,corsair and razer and many many more use abs keycaps.

really? okay thanks i'll look into it. Although it comes with an MX blue equivalent but i'm looking for red because i'm gonna purely use it for gaming.

Really, and if you want red take a look at this one then : https://www.gigabyte.com/Keyboard/FORCE-K85#kf it comes in red and blue cherry mx, bit pricier, but there are sales for it sometimes, in my country and not on sale it costs 65 euros.

sorry to be picky but i really need one that is around 35cm whereas this is full length - nearer 45. I have very low mouse sensitivity, so at the moment often hit my 45cm keyboard with my mouse.

No number pad.

This one maybe : https://www.amazon.com/Qisan-Mechanical-Keyboard-68-Keys-Magicforce/dp/B01E8KO2B0 browns only though. Get https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Master-MasterAccessory-Comfortable-SGA-KR01-KSRG1/dp/B01MR59KK5 this, there are no clip ones iirc, but this one is decent, I have it myself.

Thanks i don't need 2 worry about a wrist rest then because ill get that if i (most likely) get a keyboard without one.

Don't get Red switches because you think that they'll make you better at gaming because they won't.  It's a marketing gimmick and the difference in keystrokes is negligible.  Find the switch that you are comfortable using and get that cause you're going to be using this all of the time.

I used my friends K63 with the Red MX switches and i really liked it. I prefer it much more to a click.

Yes, but that keyboard is ~ 44 cm long. That board also is not premium in anyway, not much different from reddragon.

i was looking at the: MOTOSPEED Professional Gaming Mechanical Keyboard RGB Rainbow Backlit 87 Keys Illuminated Computer USB Gaming Keyboard Blue Switches Mac & PC Black however it had cherry blue switches so i'll keep looking. If i was gonna get one with blue switches i would get the red dragon anyways.
