Looking for a keyboard recommendation.

[benji_]

Hi

 

Im looking for a keyboard recommendation. I need it to have cherry mx blues, media keys, a usb port on the keyboard (headphone and mic ports are also nice but not needed), but would also like (so not needed, but prefered) a backlight, rgb or just white i dont really care, macro keys <- so would need own software.

 

Im based in the uk and my budget is ideally under £50. Dont care if its a cheapo chinese board, or decent brand, aslong as it has what i want and not gonna break in 2 weeks i dont care.

 

Thanks

That is a big request...i dont think you can find one with those specs for that much....check the wish/geek website and see if they have any

For that kind of money you are not gonna get usb ports aka pasthrough, macros and media keys is possible though, you okay with that or not? If you are fine with that, this is your best bet : https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-K580-Mechanical-Anti-ghosting-Dedicated/dp/B07G11G2X8 built like a tank, one of the nicest budget boards out there.

You won't get what you're looking for at that price point, unless you buy something pre-owned.

 

The K70 Mk.2 should fit all your criteria but it's price is much higher than your budget.

 

Next runner up would be the HyperX Alloy.  It's slightly over budget but comes with MX Blues, has media controls, USB passthrough (charging only, no data transfer) and a red backlit.

Reddragon is not an option in your opinion?

BTW can you plug a mouse in the usb pass through of hyper x? Have not noticed that it has that feature.

Nah "(charging only, no data transfer)".  Seems kind of dumb to go that far and not support data transfer

Got it, pass through is somehow very premium thing

only want the pass through so i can use my bluetooth reciever, as i only have one working front usb port and the connection is shit to the back of my case for some reason, thanks for your suggestions
