Suggest a keyboard

mitko1337 · January 15, 2021

So i've been looking for a keyboard for some time now, but can't decide which one to get since there's too many.

I want a keyboard that is: TKL, has rgb and has cherry mx reds also has a qwerty layout.

Sorry if i misspelled something I'm learing English as a third language atm.

Forgot to mention i live in Germany and no budget limit.

Umm well if you want speed and tactility, I would recommend the Razer Huntsman mini, its a 60 percent and has Razer optical switches. A good keyboard, just the price is a little high.

Oh, then just commission a Keycult for a few thousand Euros. So what is your budget?

A fairly reasonably priced and high end keyboard is the GMMK Pro, which is open for preorder. It's hot swappable, so no soldering required. QWERTY layout means effectively nothing (other than keycap legends), as it's just in software, but the first ones will use the American ANSI layout (long left shift and different Enter key). It's a 75%, not TKL, so it has arrow keys, function row and nav keys from TKL, but it's narrower. For switches, please get some decent linears, instead of Cherry MX Red. Tealios, JWK/Durock linears (or variants), Gateron Inks etc.

It's literally everything i needed except that it's not full tkl i guess i would call it, i absolutely need all those buttons above the arrows and 75% won't do me, thanks anyway tho.
