new keyboard

[Cedri]

Hi, does anyone know any good keyboards for around 150 euro's or less? I will use it mostly for gaming and I prefer linear switches like gateron clears.

 

Thanks in advance!

Yeah sure, I like smaller keyboards better so 60% or tkl would be perfect!

Build a custom with used parts or stuff from China.

I don't really care about that but wired would be nice if it wouldn't sacrify any performance or increase price by a big amount!

Isn't that really hard and a bit expensive? I live in Europe

Found this but your best bet is to get a keyboard with hot-swappable switches and do it yourself

Wired is more common so if anything it will be cheaper.

Hot swappable keyboard example:

It does not have to be gateron clear, smooth linear switches are good enough!

I would recommend Steelseries Apex 5, Apex 7.

Is the apex pro worth it saving a bit more or should I go for one of those 2? and what exactly is the difference between the 5 and 7?

I think you can adjust the switches in the apex 7. It also has a screen

Also the apex pro is basically the apex 7 but has OmniPoint adjustable mechanical switches.

Oh I see, the apex 5 comes in just blue switches and in full size.

Is that worth it the extra 50 euro's?

Yes, I would go for the Apex 7. It's above your budget though

[Cedri]

What does omnipoint switches give you extra?

The apex 7 tkl is just 10 euro's above it, thats alright.

"The new SteelSeries OmniPoint switches are designed to allow gamers to set the actuation point of the switch giving them full control over the switch. ... Users can set the OmniPoint switches to an actuation point of between 0.4 mm for super fast response in fast-paced games and 3.6 mm for more general users"

[Cedri]

Is that really worth 50 extra euro's?

[Guest]

Also I made a mistake, the apex 7 does NOT have adjustable switches
