Posted August 6, 2014 Hey guys! I am looking for a new keyboard as my current is kinda crappy. I don't won't to spend to much on it so I have set a budget of £100 but hoping not to spend more than £80 or £90. I currently have no experience with mechanical keyboards and not sure what key type I like. I would prefer to have some feedback when typing maybe blues or browns not sure how load the feedback is, I don't want it to be too loud as it might annoy people when I am talking to them on skype! Any suggestions would be welcome, also what key type should I choose? Thanks in advance!

If you can try as many key types as possible, I know in most big PC worlds you can usually try out some of the keyboards (they usually have red and blue keys at least, and they are the 2 main types) . Also don't let skype stop you from using a keyboard because now that me and 2 of my friends now have blue keyboards, we just moved to teamspeak so that the mic doesn't turn on unless you talk. coolermaster makes good keyboards and corsair. I would also say razer but now that they have their own make of switches I don't know what they are like anymore as mine is an old one with cherry switches. you could try this http://www.pcupgrade.co.uk/productdetails.asp?productid=11072&categoryid=460 it looks pretty good and has a number pad, which is a must have imo.

Posted August 6, 2014 Anything from CoolerMaster or Corsair, but the K70 RGB hasn't come out yet and it may be very hard to find. I suggest the CM Storm Quickfire TK/Pro/Rapid/Rapid-I/Ultimate. They are all mechanical, cheap, and well-made. The only difference is the amount of keys/layout and backlighting. Spoiler i5 4670k, GTX 970, 12GB 1600, 120GB SSD, 240GB SDD, 1TB HDD, CM Storm Quickfire TK, G502, VG248QE, ATH M40x, Fractal R4 Spoiler i5 4278U, Intel Iris Graphics, 8GB 1600, 128GB SSD, 2560x1600 IPS display, Mid-2014 Model Spoiler All the parts are here, just need to get customized cords to connect the motherboard to the front panel.

Posted August 6, 2014 CM quickfire or Shine 3 I would recommend going to your local computer store and test switches The shine 3 is about £150 so its way out of his budget.

Posted August 6, 2014 I am personally using a Logitech G710+ http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Mechanical-Keyboard-Tactile-High-Speed/dp/B009C98NPY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407354254&sr=8-1&keywords=logitech+g710%2B It has brown switches aswell as some O-Rings under each Key, which helps to reduce any noise. The price may be at bit high for your goal, but there are lots of good deals out there (got mine for 80€) Ofcourse the design is not for everyone, but I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 6, 2014 I picked up the ducky premier with mx red switches yesterday. The build quality is superb and the fact that I picked one up on sale made the decision a no brainer. i7 7700k @ 4.9ghz | Asus Maximus IX Hero | G.skill 32gb @ 3200 | Gtx 1080 classified | In win 909 | Samsung 960 pro 1tb | WD caviar blue 1tb x3 | Dell u3417w | Corsair H115i | Ducky premier dk9008p (mx reds) | Logitech g900 | Sennheiser hd 800s w/ hdvd 800 | Audioengine a5+ w/ s8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
