75%Mechanical Keyboards?

[YourNewPalAlex]

Hi im alex! im looking for a mechanical keyboard that is 75%, by that i mean the 81/82/84 key keyboards that are like a hybrid between a 60% and a full fledged keyboard. My preferred keyswitches are probably reds or browns, they dont have to be Cherries, they can be outemus or khails or any other knock off

 

 

Thanks for reading!

No. TKL and 75% are different things.

 

@YourNewPalAlex Vortex Race is a good option.

not really, you see im a lefty and i cant really transition to the wasd, so really the only way i can play comfortably on the arrow keys is with the keyboard beeing 75% aka the arrow keys beeing smushed together with the numpad so i have more keys at my exposal  

[YourNewPalAlex]

WOAH thats expensive 

 

anything a bit cheaper? ill try to manage it but its a bit too much for me. None the less you got the form factor bang on!

I think the fat arrow keys are a bit weird. Also never heard of that switch brand. Who knows what it's like.

I just got used to the arrow keys as my main "keys" for playing games. I just cant transition to the wasd keys. Ive tried and its just not the same. I use my left hand on the mouse, and my right on the keyboard. My right hand doesn't have 5 fingers, it has 1 normal one with 2 fingers smashed together, so i basically have 2 fingers. Its weird for me to play with the wasd keys because i have my hands so close to each other, but if i go for the arrow keys on a normal keyboard, then their closest keys are too far away for my right hand to reach. Thats why i want a 75% keyboard, because it has the arrow keys + keys nearby. My main machine for playing games was a laptop that had a keyboard that most resembles a 75% keyboard, or even more a tkl keyboard with the arrow keys and numpad mashed together. And luckily for me that was kind of a blessing since well it was the perfect thing that at the time i didnt know i needed.
