So basically I'm looking for a good scissor switch keyboard, preferably something like what MSI uses in their gaming laptops. It seems like most of the scissor switch keyboards are pretty cheap. I looked at the Logitech K740 but it seems there is some rumors about certain key combinations not working (shift+w+space). Thanks for the help!

I got the Cherry Strait; not much to say about it other than it's a good scissor switch keyboard? :D (not my image)

Damn, yeah that's expensive but it's just what I'm looking for. Well tax returns and all that.

I got mine for about £25 off eBay; I know Amazon have them in the UK for £35 for a silver and £45 for this black one. 

It's not backlit or anything, just a blue backing and the housing is plastic rather than metal (such as the Apple keyboard); though I like it

Alright cool, the one I just saw on Amazon was like $140 with shipping. Now to see if they make any in a US layout.

The Cougar 200k and 300k has scissors but I don't know if they are any good

Yeah I was looking at the 200k, and for only $30 it's not too much of an investment, I just don't want to have more shit I'm not going to every use again laying around in my room.

I wouldn't spend $140 on this... That's too much for what it is tbh xD

Oh yeah, definitely not going to drop $140 on it, that was just the first link I saw.

To be honest it doesn't look to bad, reviews are good but for that price I'd rather have a higher quality membrane keyboard
