A good mechanical, not too expensive keyboard with a wrist rest.

TommyTwommy

Best I could find were the Razer Blackwidow chroma and G910 from Logitech.. but those are way too expesnive.. I'm looking for something below 70% of their price.

 

My only conditions are:

must have a wrist rest,

must be mechanical

must have a numpad

 

Idc if it is RGB, although I'd prefer it it were blue or RGB so it can fit my color scheme.. 

 

NOTE: Prices in my country aren't same like in the US, so add around 25% on the price in US

Choose your keyboard and then buy a $15 gel wristrest.  That way you aren't constrained to only models with integrated wristrests.

Doesn't have a wrist rest, but this is the best keyboard I've used for the money. It's full RGB too. The switches are a blue mx type. There are customer vidoes on Amazon of the keyboard in action.

Yeah I know that, I've made an account like a year ago and every time I add it to the cart it says "this item can't be shipped to your country"

I've also tried German amazon and UK amazon.. very rarely do they ship to Croatia, and if they do it some shitty stuff I don't even buy..

Why do you have to hide your country? Its making it hard for people to help you, not knowing your actual budget and wasting our effort suggesting things that are not available or won't ship there. Even if you are ok with importing, we can't account for the shipping cost that could end up falling out of your budget.

I just put it on my profile info

The Blackwidow Chroma and G910 cost about 858.94kn in the US

70% of that is 601.26kn, which is currently equal to about 598kn

I don't think you can get a good keyboard shipped in from a nearby country and still remain within budget. Shipping in from the US... forget about it.

 

How about this local brand model? It uses mechanical Outemu switches, is RGB, full size and has wrist rest.

The Sharkoon Skiller Mech SGK1 uses Kailh switches and seems to be good value, although the backlight is only white.

There are other non mechanical but well featured options like the Logitech G213 Prodigy and Corsair Gaming K55

 

I have never used any of those keyboards or been to eastern Europe

It is the opposite.. 70% of price in my country is the price in the US.. so if it is 130 there its 185 here.. the g910 is exactly 200 rn.. 

 

i actually ordered the g213 prodigy but i said to my self that i must get a mechanical keyboard this time... i dont wanna spend money if it is non-mechanical.. many people say that the difference is huge..

Vengeance K65 is a keyboard I personally use which I recommend if you're looking for something less pricey, it goes for 59 bucks according to this review. I like the fact that it is compact and beautifully built with Cherry MX Red mechanical keys. One other thing I love about this keyboard is the fact that with the exception of volume buttons and Windows lock, every key on this keyboard comes with the Cherry MX Red mechanical switch. Not even its higher version, K90 features that.

No numpad. No wristrest.. I would buy it if it had numpad.. I don't understand how is taking away part of the keyboard any good?

You could go to a store to see for yourself if mechanical makes a huge difference. Mechanical switches won't make you perform any better in games. Its mostly for the preference of feeling when typing. 

You're right.. I never typed on a mechanical keyboard.. I should go try it out.. there are so many good looking keyboards with all features I want but they're not mechanical.. I'm sure it won't make me perform better in games, I wasn't going for that anyways..

Sharkoon Skiller Mech SGK1 is a decent keyboard, you get what you pay for. Plastic wrist wrest, knock off Cherry MX switches (Kailh Reds, Browns or Blues), about 60-70 euros with white lightning (kinda of a blue-ish hue).

Not a sleeved cable though, but as I said you get what you pay for.
