Hello everyone

 

I would like to buy a new keyboard. It has to be tactile and full-size. I live in Denmark, so most smaller brands are not available here.

USB-passthrough would be a plus.

 

Currently, I am looking at the Corsair K70 MK.2 with Cherry MX Browns.

My current keyboard is a Razer Blackwidow from around 2016/17 with Razer Greens.

 

Any other recommendations would be great.

 

Thanks,

Shinion

You must be lucky, that boards quality leaves much to be desired. Caps still not shiny? How long do you have it?

I just upgraded from my razer blackwidow keyboard to a Corsair k95 Platinum with MX blues and it feels amazing. I'd recommend it.

The quality is superb, I've had mine for about a year.

A year is not that long. It's not superb my any means, maybe if you haven't tried anything better it might look like it is. Yours doesn't ping like crazy when typing I assume?

I know a quality product when I see it and the plain fact is the Corsair K70 MK.2 is excellent.

Yours doesn't ping like crazy when typing I assume? Well, you clearly haven't tried anything better. You know it by seeing it? Looks can be deceiving :)

Maybe. But then again, maybe you are easily lulled by marketing.

I think it was already answered in the other thread from yesterday, not only by me, but some other people also. Get it if you like, it's your money, maybe you get lucky like @LinusTechTipsFanFromDarlo
