Hey guys!

Just wanna ask the community what keyboard you'd think suits me best (currently jusing Razer Arctosa, overprised peace of spork)

 

What I need:

Basic keys

Anti-Ghosting

(Decent build quality)

 

What I don't need:

 

Macro keys

Fancy 1337 gaming keyboard look

Numpad

 

The lower the price tag the better! :)

Thanks in advance!

Budget? And a link to an online shop where you'd be buying it would be good....I have a few KBs, so I can post pics of them for you to see. You can query me if any strikes your fancy.

Filco MajesTouch Ninja (note the utter lack of bling, my most serious looking KB), the letters/symbols are printed on the front of the key caps, not at the top.

A Sucky Shine II 78 Version (7 LED colors, 8 switch types), I'd swapped out the black key caps with grey ones...

Cooler Master Quick Fire TK, Cherry Blue, you can see my 78 Version at the back, before I'd swapped out the key caps.

Armaggeddon MKA-3 Cherry Red, cheap true Cherry Red KB.......the brand isn't that well known. But oddly enough, build quality is decent enough...

Cooler Master Storm Trigger (I have both a Cherry Red and Green models, they look the same on the outside)

If you have to have the macro keys, do with a cooler master bord. If they aren't that important to you then go with a Filco or Ducky board. All of the brands in this post have the best build quality there is (arguably)

Current Keyboards: Ergodox w/ clears, Poker 2 w/ clears, Ducky G2 Pro w/ Blues
