Need a new mechanical keyboard

[Reds Duty]

Hello,

I am looking for a good full size black mechanical keyboard.

I like the sound of cherry mx blue switches, but I think the amount of keyboards available is rather confusing.

Can someone give me a reccommendation arround €100 available in europe (from amazon.de or amazon.fr)

Thanks a lot!

DuckyShine, Razer, Corsair, Logitech, Das Keyboard... there's a lot

 

I think they should all be good, and pick which ever one looks the best and has all the features you like. Razer has just moved to new switches that are 'gaming optimized' so I'm not sure if that's for you or not (even though they're pretty similar to MX Brown/Blue)

 

Hope this helps a bit

Genuine cherry switches and Ducky is a very reputable brand.

Thank you!

I forgot saying that I didn't want something "gaming-optimized" since I don't really believe in adding leds to make it better...

This community is awesome... I asked just 2 questions yet and I got an answer within 15 miutes!

Anything from Cooler Master is safe. Not a ton in Europe for that price.

I was looking at those, but then realised it might not be optimized since it's not their main product category...

What?

Cooler Master isn't "optimized" for anything, they make an abundance of things. I own a Cooler Master keyboard and it's great. Saying Cooler Master is "not optimized" is like saying Mitsubishi is "not optimized" for cars because they make ships and televisions as well....

 

EDIT: Among Cooler Master's great things, here's what they make:

 

Mice

Keyboards

Fans

Air/Liquid CPU coolers

Cases

Power Supplies (not technically manufactured by Cooler Master but hey, neither is Corsair or EVGA's stuff)

Laptop coolers

 

Hope this covers everything they sell. Just really wanted to point out that, just because "Keyboard" isn't in their name, doesn't mean that they don't make great keyboards. They make some of the best, especially for the price point.

I have the Das Keyboard Ultimate S and it's great. I recommend it very highly. I've never had a problem with it. It looks sleek, feels great, and uses Cherry MX Blue or Brown switches (Browns are in the Silent Edition). If you want something even more premium than the Das Keyboard S, you can also look into the Das Keyboard 4. Has a USB 3 hub (instead of USB 2), volume wheel, some media keys, and an aluminum body. In my opinion, it's not worth the upgrade from the S, but that's just my opinion. But its definitely something to look into!

I know you said you didn't want LEDs, but if you were okay with them, the Thermaltake Poseidon Z - Blue Switch is an option from a reliable brand.

@STRMfrmXMN

Excuse me, I didn't mean to anger you,

I believe that they have great keyboards.

I just don't know what to buy yet.

@KorineFreak

I was looking for das keyboards too.

I just think I'm going to wait for promotions and see what my budget allows at that moment.

Thanks for your help!

Alrighty! For future reference, Cooler Master, Das, Ducky, Cherry and Filco are all great.

You are really going to struggle to find something that doesnt have LED's on it! Filco is probably your best bet, but finding one under 100 euros is going to be difficult. It would probably have to be second hand...

However, have a look at Ducky. Out of all my keyboards my Ducky is the best quality so far... I think you may also be able to get it without LED's too!

I can recommend Thermaltake as a brand. Solid builds and reliable.

Most keyboards you can just turn the LED's off. Make sure the one you get has this option and you are good to go. Ducky stuff is good but quite expensive. You get what you pay for though.

Thank you all,

I think i'm getting the das ultimate s or the coolermaster quickfire XT.

It will depend on the price when I buy it and the promotions in the meantime...
