Keyboard recommendations please?

[Macka09]

Hi guys. I’m after a cherry Mx brown keyboard for around £50-£70. Do any of you guys know of any decent ones?

In this price range getting something with genuine browns may be quite hard. I have the Roccat Suora which cost around 50-ish euro and it works perfectly for the past 4 years I had it. It has "TTC" brown switches and I really can't complain.

Ttc?

Yep. They are cherry clones, and feel identical to genuine browns to me. Quote me like this  so I can see your reply.

Sorry mate. I’m trying to get something ordered on amazon so I can get it for tomorrow lol I’ve settled for a mouse. The Logitech G403 hero. Just can’t find a keyboard

I’d recommend buying a switch tester, find what switches you like and then purchase based on that.

Not sure if it's available to you but I love the G.Skill KM780.

Without sounding ungrateful that Gskill looks disgusting.

Do cheaper keyboards suffer from input delay?

Agree on that, one of the ugliest keyboards out there imo.

Wired ones? No. Some cheaper wireless models can suffer from that. Also, if you are upping the budget look into Anne Pro 2 and GMMK.

What about this?

Pretty nice option, had a go with this one, pretty nice build quality and is good option if you are into rgb and don't need the numpad, wrist rest that is included is very comfortable too. Just keep in mind that cherry mx are not the gold standard these days, there are much better switches, and you could get something much better if you went with gmmk.

The mrs wants a board with a 10 key but it doesn’t bother me. Could I not purchase a 10 key separately?

You can get a separate numpad, yes. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=numpad&i=computers&ref=nb_sb_noss_1
