keyboard Mechanical Keyboard Replacement/Suggestions

Hey Guys!!

 

My mum split some tea onto my Max Nighthawk X8 Cherry MX Brown Keyboard.

Oddly enough USB can be recognised by the PC when plugged in. Also the microphone and Headphone extensions still work, from the Keyboard HUB.

• None of the Keys or Backlights turn on.

I've opened up the keyboard, and kept it in front of a fan and even in a heated room for over 2-3 days, and still no positive result. - In exception to the above.

 

So I'm in hunt for a new mechanical keyboard. My Needs are the following:-

1. Back-lit Keys (Blue, White, Purple - Not Red).
2. Cherry MX Red (Preferred) or Brown.
3. Braided Cable - Wired.
4. Numpad - Full 100% Keyboard
5. Available in Australia.
6. Around $200 max (give or take).

(I'm steering away from MX Browns this time, to give the MX Red a shot).

 

Let me know your thoughts, and any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Corsair K70 RGB or K70 Luxe RGB

For a bit cheaper you can get a Corsair Strafe RGB

That's $200 AUD. Big difference.

After much research a deliberating, I ended up getting this! Most defiantly work the change.

I like the Red switches, but I can see why people like the tactile switches now, as typing has become a little funny. (coming from using Cherry MX Brown).

 

If anything, I'd get brown switches for work, and my home PC as red.
