keyboard Keyboard Suggestions/Recommendations

[TatamiMatt]

Hi All,

 

Im looking for a new keyboard for a christmas present for my girlfriend, im looking to get her a mechanical keyboard of decent quality at least, budget of around £60 ($75).

 

Shes looking for a pink (requirement) (with the possibility of some white in it if it looks good) mechanical keyboard with RGB, a UK layout (required) and 100% layout (desired)

 

She likes the design of the Razer Pink Blackwidow V3 and so if possible something similar

 

Ive been looking but most keyboards i find are either on the money but US layout or lacking one or more of the wanted specifications. Does anyone know any good brands or models that fit this bill?

Not gonna lie, it will be hard to fulfill ISO-UK, pink, mech, and the price. 

 

Apart from those big name gamer-brands most keyboard, vendors focus on ANSI, simply because it is so common and most people in the market for higher quality mech keyboards don't mind. 

A quick check at the usual cheaper vendors shows most of them are ANSI, the few ISO don't come in pink.

 

Royal Kludge or Ducky might have something, not sure. In any case, if you can find something check whether it has hotswap switches: allows you to swap them out without soldering etc. should one break or you/your GF simply want different switches. 

 

Honestly though, I would see if ANSI isn't an option as it would make your life so much easier with this.

I spent over an hour looking and youre VERY right, though i found one by a swedish company who hopefully ships to the UK as the reseller here doesnt sell them anymore, Deltaco PK75, image below if youre curious

 

Thanks for the help!

Deltaco PK75,

Unless I missed something, but weren't you looking for a mechanical one? Because that is a membrane keyboard, at least it states to have "membrane switches".

Also the "lightning fast 125Hz polling rate" is anything but fast. Not an issue for regular office use, but might be borderline for gaming (at least FPS and other fast paced stuff).

 

Edit: The WK95R might be an option, red Kaihl switches and UK-ISO. though only 65% layout, but pink at least. No idea about the price.
