Looking for a new Keyboard

[NTDaws]

Looking for a new Keyboard and I'd like people's recommendations.

The keyboard needs to have:

-MX Blue Switches

-Wireless

-Would be nice if it had a number pad

-RGB would be nice but not a requirement. 

Thanks!

There are almost no options for fullsize wireless boards. Also, anything wireless with RGB will drain battery very fast, you'll have to charge it often which kind of defeats the point of something wireless. I would also consider some Kailh BOX clickies (white, jade, navy, etc) instead of something click-jacket based like MX Blue; the click is much more satisfying and crisp.

 

So keeping those things in mind, I'd consider a GMMK fullsize with BOX White.

What about keychron, are they a good manufacturer?

They're quite good if you insist on something wireless. Keep in mind their metal boards are just a metal frame around the sides, not a full metal case. It's mostly plastic lol.

If you go with blue switches, the general consensus is that you 100% want cherry blues.  For brown switches, it's more up to personal preference what brand switches are best.  

I have an RK Royal Kludge brown key keyboard.  It lacks a numberpad, which you may not like.  However it has both a wired and wireless mode, meaning when wired by USB C you get the latency of a wired keyboard, but you still have the option of going wireless.  It also has decent RGB, which can be turned off when you go wireless.  

It's not a known brand, but I've found it to be a pretty impressive set of features for the 50-60$ price point.  

Read through reviews, and there are some other gems like this one to be found.
