Hai, I am looking at keyboards for when my razer deathstalker dies. Asfar as keyboards i like but arent like BE QUIET AND TAKE MY MONEY.

 

Quickfire rapid, Widow tourney stealth. 

 

Quiet. Mechanical. Small footprint. (Enough to where i can fit my mouse pad and keyboard on the slide out thing on my desk.  [Pic attatched]

 

Thanks,

 

Samuroot1987

 

EDIT: Please no boards with macros. Just wasted space IMO

Buy all the planes! Im also bad at quoting!

Here are a select few that are pretty highly regarded and sought after in the keyboard community :)

 

Filco majistouch 2 TKL
filco_majestouch_tenkeyless_red_us_small

CM Quick Fire Rapid (same oem as filco TKL, pretty much the same keyboard buy leik $70 less)

cm-storm-quickfire-rapid-4-588x389.jpg

 

WASD Keyboards Code Keyboard v2 TKL (pretty new but lot of talk going on about it, good if you want it in an abstract key switch type)

v2-front.jpg

 

Leopold FC700R (PBT keycaps, as an entrant keyboard this is what i'd go for)

leopold-1.jpg

 

IBM Model M Space Saver (really rare but if you're to stumble up on one then buy it instantly)

Leopold 660C (super small size but still arrow keys)

These are from my collection, TKL to 60% keyboards for your consideration:

20130831_130535_zps63a62a83.jpg

In pic above, the top keyboard is a Leopold FC660M, which uses Cherry MX Clear (think of it as a heavier Brown, or a tactile Black), this is cheaper than the FC660C that bradscoolio had posted, that uses Topre capacitive switch. Below my FC660M is a HHKB Professional 2, this is an expensive keyboard and is meant for those who want a 60% keyboard with Topre switch.

 

20130818_150356_zps87055d6c.jpg

Here are a pair of Ducky TKL, the one with the white key caps is a DK9087G2 Pro with white PBT key caps, mine's the Cherry Black version and I love it! Below it is a DK9087 Year Of The Dragon (YOTD) Cherry Brown, excellent keyboard with a suite of lighting effects......surpassed only by the YOTS version. Below is a pic of the YOTD all lit up, orange LED is secksay!

The pic below is that of a Keycool 84 LED, some describe its looks as a 'wall of keys' and I do see that analogy. Very nice and relatively affordable <TKL keyboard. Mine's Cherry Black and it's a very good experience typing and gaming with it.

Last two of my TKL and <TKL keyboards are these two, on top is an Armaggeddon MKA-3 with authentic Cherry MX Red switch, good and cheap mechanical keyboard for a beginner (it was my 2nd mech keyboard). Below it is my Cooler Master Quick Fire TK Cherry Blue, do note that it isn't exactly a TKL in size, but is seen as such.

+1 on the TK, it is very good, only one key wider than a normal tankeyless, but you have the option for a numpad. It comes in handy all the time, I have it with browns, love it :D

I just looked at armagedons site, The 2 boards i like are the stealth eagle and the black hornet. I lean a bit more to the hornet. Just dont like that yellow stripe.
