Hello everyone,

 

I'm searching for a mechanical keyboard with bright LED where I also can change the color. EU layout, QWERTY. Cost under the 150 euros. Can someone help me?

 

 Thanks.

There are no mech keyboards which allow you to change the color of the lights....the cherry mx switches are only designed to fit one LED.

Also what switch do you want and what is keyboard for and where have you got available to order from?

You need to figure out what switches you want then we can offer recommendations, see if you can test some switches out at your local store or get the sample kit online.

There is no color changing one, however, there are several keyboards that have special lighting modes, like the Ducky Shine 3. Pick which ever backlight you want the most. I prefer white, it's not flashy, it's very functional, and its not ugly. Goes with any color scheme, too.

Ducky Shine 3 is awesome. I just bought a few to test out really bright LED's and really nice features.

I would suggest a ducky shine 3. If you want to change the Led color, get a white backlit ducky and buy some of these colored led covers from china

I found a Dutch site who does sell Ducky's. Is this the Ducky Shine 3?: http://www.mechanicalkeyboards.nl/full-size-model-mechanische-toetsenborden/ducky-dk9008-s3/1
