Recommend me a keyboard

[IPD]

I'm currently using a Rii RK-900 keyboard.  I'm content with it, but there's always room for upgrades (this IS a PC forum after all....)

 

-Prebuilt preferred (I don't want the hassle of assembling--but will if I have to)

-I'm looking for a similar activation force to the RK-900

-Switches need to be as silent as possible (I really like the sound of Silent Red and Silent Black cherry switches--vastly better than regular Red/Black) - I'm not brand particular

-RGB full-functionality preferred (not just some presets)

-PBT or POM caps preferred

-Doubleshot, pudding caps preferred (But I'll also consider RGB caps that use ablation or dye sublimation)

-100% size keyboard

-Wired

-$150 or less

 

Thanks!

I think I'm gonna go with a Ducky One 2.

I have been daily driving the Ducky one 2 TKL for about a year and a half now. It's a really great board and I have never had an issue with it. Awesome build quality. I 100 percent back your decision. I came here to recommend it, but it looks like you're already on the right path

Well the only switches quieter seem to be boba gum, and i didn't really see any pre-builts with those.  And the pudding-caps edition saves me a few bucks over having to add my own caps later.

 

Once you start getting down into the weeds of it, you realize there's really an open market of opportunity there; products that just don't exist.

 

-Translucent silicone rubber pudding keycaps; so you can have all the benefits of rubber with the aesthetics of pudding caps

 

-Color options to go with the above; because HK gaming's options aren't really sufficient for my tastes

 

-Case color options.  Sure you can paint and some DIY keyboards probably have this option.  Just seems like a missed opportunity, especially with Ducky doing Razer and other special editions...

 

-Better yet, translucent clear case with RGB so your entire base can light up as well

 

-GITD keycap tops, cases, cabling, etc
