Recently I've been looking for a good TKL keyboard and I stumbled across the KM360, I saw the LTT review on it, and it seemed pretty positive. I really don't care about media keys, and I really like the look of the keyboard. Is there something they didn't mention in the LTT review? Is this not a good option?
Note that i'm looking for -
-red/black/brown switches
-TKL
-$50 - $70
All opinions welcome, thanks!

( I know you wanted tkl, but just incase)     

I was thinking of getting that same model, but I went down to a 60 percent keyboard and picked up the rk61. i think that it is really good and you can get a good discount on it and get it for under 50 dollars sometimes. It has a solid built quality and the switches feel pretty good. The stabilization is ok I would say. Two added perks that it also has over the km is that it has rgb lighting and it can be used wirelessly also. However there are also some benefits to the g skill for example it is a lot more processional and has real mx switches which really great for the price. After looking at it at the BestBuy store it has more wobble then the rk61, but that could have just been because it was a store sample  and a lot of people use it and in a improper way. Overall I would go for the g skill if you dont like rgb and if you dont care about wireless. Another thing is that rk61 has brown switches while gskill inly comes in red.

I have the RK61, After buying it I realized how much I hate 60% keyboards

If youre willing to wait, the Hexgears GK707 is avalible on Aliexpress for 50 usd: https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32960262600.html

This board has hotswappable sockets, so you can try out different kinds of switches without buying a new keyboard, a rare feature in this price bracket.

As for the KM360, I would say that its fine but Cherry switches arent my pick (Red is scratchy, Brown is slightly more tactile than Red).

big man big w!

Is this keyboard good? I'm looking for a budget mechanical tkl keyboard too

I've used one for a year or so now. Great keyboard, much more durable then my Deck, Logitech, SS, Corsair etc combined! ;)

If you want media keys you can always use something like RandyRants SharpKeys (dunno about the name, but it works!) ;)

I would say so. The hot-swappable feature make this board really competitive in the 50usd price bracket.

Ok I will see reviews. But I came across the steelseries apex 3, and the g.skill km360, which one do you think is better? 🙂 sorry I forgot to quote your messages so there was two messages
