Looking for a replacement keyboard

[bicolorduck]

Please help me escape the maze of mechanical keyboards!

 

I have been using a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth for almost 5 years now and its starting to fall apart. So time for a replacement.

 

I'm looking for:

- full size (so with number pad)

- tactile 'non-clicky' switches

- Some form of backlight (doesn't have to be RGB) 

 

I guess not to loud clicky might be ok if they are really good.

 

Price range is 100-150 Euro.

 

Thank you!

I use a Corsair K70 Mk 2, its mechanical, metal construction, full size and RGB. You can choose which switches you want.

I'm not sure how I missed the K70... That will probably be it. Thanks!

You should be able to get the GMMK, switches and keycaps for that price. I recommend avoiding the K70 (and all Corsair keyboards...), as they use garbage stabilisers, among the worst keycaps on the market, a non-standard bottom row (so good luck replacing the keycaps with decent third party ones), mediocre switches, and they use the worst peripheral software on the market (iCue).
