@InsaneLag Don't buy Razer, get the GMMK as @rice guru offered, costs the same, but is way better than Razer.

That's a pretty subjective opinion.

In this case not really. GMMK is a modular keyboard, also, way much sturdier build, especially when costing the same, GMMK is much better buy. If the op must have dedicated media keys then CORSAIR K68 is better than Razer.

Also, Razer green switches are very loud, that's an issue for many people, with GMMK there are many options for switches. If the op must have dedicated media switches then CORSAIR K68 is better than Razer.

That's still subjective for the most part. What switches you like is a very personal choice. I'm not necessarily recommending that specific product (I haven't tried it), but only the OP can really know what he likes. It's why trying out a keyboard is so important.

 

Brand loyalty is pretty childish when it comes to electronics.

Agree on trying the keyboard, that's important, not always possible though. Also, a possibility to change switches easily when/if you want that later is a big plus.

 

Brand loyalty? I'm not brand loyal, not even a bit. I tried GMMK, for like a few hours, borrowed from a friend, and razer blackwidow I used for a few days, GMMK is much better built, I'm quality loyal, if razer ups their game I might buy it. Also, I like their mice, I'm not razer hater, they have some good products.

Agreed 100% with this razer has yet to impress me in the keyboard department. They used to make decent keyboards but quality has gone down. They have decent mice and laptops and that's really bit for me too. The rest of their products I find to be subpar.especially in the audio department. They have some of the worst tuning I've ever seen for gaming products

Between the GMMK which keyboard would you recommend to someone who just wants a good and affordable 60%? because I see that your setup consist of the ducky one 2 mini but you are recommending the GMMK so i just wanna clarify @rice guru

I have the full size ducky. and reccomending the GMMK as to me is a better value than the DUcky. in my area the ducky is hard to get and I personally prefer cherry blues over gateron. I bought this this keyboard before I was aware of of glorious and personally in the process of grabbing a gmmk myself just as a second experimental board for the hotswappable switch feature. most enthusiasts prefer gaterong over cherry and I can see why the sound is better generally smoother and cheaper you also have access to kailh box switches which are some of the best clicky's out there when it comes to tactility. and you can stay below $100  while keeping features like RGB with the board if you live in the US as long as your willing to build it which I recommend it's not hard.
