Hello first post here so i currently have this keyboard called CORSAIR Gaming K95 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard and have recently found out it is discontinued :( the keyboard i have is randomly double pressing keys and its rather annoying so i was looking for a new one is there any alternatives literally anywhere?

I must point out that i play and multi box wow excessively and use around 16 of the macro keys for switching the windows

If i cant find anything i might have to settle for Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard or Corsair K95 RGB Platinum XT Mechanical Gaming Keyboard only reason is they both have extra macro keys and extra padding for my wrists i would also have to buy either Razer Tartarus V2 or Razer Tartarus Pro because i need the extra macro keys.

You could also go - for example - for a TKL main keyboard and then get a Razer keyboard/Corsair keyboard (Corsair if your main board wouldn't be a Corsair board) and just put that to the side and assign all its keys to be macro keys.

But in general, with Razer/Corsair boards you can make all keys macros. Do you not use the numpad while gaming? Just make it all macros! Make another profile for 'normal' use. Although it would be annoying having your main keyboard's numpad all macros.. With it being on the right side.

 

But it's truly sad Corsair doesn't have board with this many macros anymore :/

There is not really a suitable alternative at the moment.

 

You could look into repairing the keyboard, maybe?

Defently looked at getting a small programable keyboard problem with that is id have to program the keys on something existing like CTRL+9 or something i need keys that are new like G9 etc.

Kind of off subject, but I'm trying to find a programmable keypad. Do you know of any? Preferably one that won't break the bank.
