Mechanical Keyboard (Cherry Brown Switches) for a translator

Death By Safety
 Share
Posted

So I just got a Corsair K70 RGB with Cherry Brown Switches. My mom (who is a translator) tried it and immediately said "I want one." Her only requirements are that it not be a ten keyless, for it to have Brown switches, and for it to have backlighting (preferably white or blue, just no red). I would like to not be over $150 if possible and for it to not look too "gamer" with needless addons. Any suggestions? Any help is appreciated.

 

P.S. Anyone know any cool lighting effects for the K70 RGB?

Cooler master quick fires. Check some of those out. Very minimalistic yet stylish.

Ducky Legend goes for $150 last I checked :)

Yeah I think I might go with that one. All that's left is to show her and she'll decide. But I definitely like the Ducky.

Das keyboards have nothing plain looking. And they're ugly as fuck.

Both honestly, I don't like the bezel they use.

@Death By Safety 

Here are RGB profiles:

http://forum.corsair.com/v3/forumdisplay.php?f=248

I only download ones that have preview (either gif, jpeg or youtube) and you just import them using the CUE software. Be aware that some profiles use same actions and lightning so they will interfere (u will get message saying something in lines: you already have these actions bla bla bla) and that can mess up the profiles. So you should add them one by one. 

The best profile ive seen so far is "mega rainbow straight" its the same they showed at CES early in 2014 :)

Nobody said it so im gonna try: have you tried looking for K65 RGB brown MX ???

I know K65 RGB is what your mom wants just not sure if they make them with browns.

 

The K65 is a TKL, one of the no-no's for OP's mother.
