Posted July 25, 2016 Hi all Has anyone come across any tenkeyless mechanical keyboards with the UK layout, Cherry MX Blue switches, RGB lighting and a understated non "gamery" look (I consider the Ducky One TKL and the Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro S good examples of non "gamery" looking keyboards and are the sort of things I'm looking for) I've come across various combinations of these features but never one that has them all. I know there is a shortage of RGB MX blue switches but despite that I've seen exactly the kind of keyboards I want with blue switches just with the US layout: for example http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA9FT3ZU8009 can anyone help because I'm getting close to the point of sacrificing blue switches for browns which I really don't want to do being a big fan of blues thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 26, 2016 this should fit your description. The clicky is blues, soft clicky is browns. Das makes very good but slightly expensive keyboards. Because its a professional non gaming keyboard there are no lighting. sorry. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Das-Keyboard-4C-Professional-Clicky/dp/B00WUQSOEG/ref=pd_sim_sbs_201_3?ie=UTF8&dpID=41nKLb2w3wL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&psc=1&refRID=AB99F9DWVCRZH4BM5WM2 Doomsday: CPU : i5 6600k, GPU : MSI Gaming GTX 1070, RAM : 16GB G.Skill DDR4 2400, MB : MSI Gaming M5 Z170A, Storage: 250GB Samsung 850 Evo/ 2TB Seagate Barracuda, PSU : EVGA SuperNova GS 550, Case : Phanteks Eclipse P400, CPU Cooler : Corsair H100i, Monitor : Acer 1440p60 / Asus 1080p60 OS : Windows 10 Pro Audio : Sennheiser HD 598SE / SMSL SD-793-II / Blue Snowball Steam : Vlad the Inhaler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 27, 2016 Author thank you for the suggestion but the lack of a backlight at all let alone rgb backlighting and the greetech switches instead of genuine cherry switches are deal breakers for me thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 27, 2016 I personally recommend a Ducky One RGB TKL. It has loads of features you won't find on other keyboards, like it being completely driverless. Depending on your favorite retailer they should have most Cherry MX switch types. There is a wonderful community that you might want to take a look at /r/MechanicalKeyboards. If you happen to be a tinkerer you can also look into DIY kits from poker or geekhack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 27, 2016 Author Thanks, I did look at the Ducky One and it looks fantastic but unfortunately they don't do the one in Cherry MX blue switches with a UK layout. Thank you so much for the /r/MechanicalKeyboards and DIY suggestions though, I will definitely have to check them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 27, 2016 The closest that comes to mind would be the WASD CODE. It has solid white backlighting, which isn't RGB but still quite nice. If RGB is super-necessary, Coolermaster makes a very descreet-looking RGB cherry-switch keyboard. F#$k timezone programming. Use UTC!

Posted July 27, 2016 Author thanks for the suggestions guys but it has to be RGB as the keyboard is going to be long lasting and i change my set up colour often and the shine 5 isn't tenkeyless I don't think and I'm also not sure if it has blue switches or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 28, 2016 Pretty sure you can get a Ducky Shine 5 in TKL. I've got a Shine 3 TKL, so it would surprise me if they've stopped doing them for the new gens. What do they know of England, who only England know? "Well that's what I always said I wanted to be remembered for, for being honest. Nothing else is worth a damn" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 29, 2016 What about the Coolermaster Quickfire Tk mx blue. It's sort of a hybrid between a tenkeyless and a full with the arrows and the numpad merged. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Master-SGK-4020-GKCL1-UK-Mechanical-Backlight/dp/B00BTWZDNC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469808651&sr=8-1&keywords=coolermaster+quickfire+mx+blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
