Hey guys,

 

I'm looking for a 60% keyboard that's similar to the Ducky one 2 mini. That keyboard would be perfect except for the white base. Looking for something that's all black.

 

Ideally the keyboard will have a removable braided USB type c cable and individually backlit keys.

 

Thanks for any help.

Not particularly. I have only ever used razer orange so I'm going to assume any cherry MX will be better? I like a lot of resistance so would that be blues?

When it comes to switches, blues are clicky and loud, not for me, but you might like it. Don't get stuck on cherry, there are better switches, take a look at kailh box switches, they are very good. You can get them with this keyboard, box whites, box browns, box blacks and reds. Research them, they are very good.

Ok I'll do some research. Thanks again, I like the looks of this board so if the reviews / switches are good I'll go with that.

You can get almost any switches you like, this board is modular, that means you can change them easily.

In regards to the GMMK, if you are reading reviews about it, keep in mind that it has been recently refreshed. Both pre-built and DIY versions of the 60% has updated stabilizers and added weight, so reviews that remark that the stabs are unstable or that the unit overall feels cheap may not be updated.
