What Mechanical Keyboard to get

[Moosematt53]

Hi, this is my first post here, I had a question about mechanical keyboards, more specifically, which ones should I buy. I have heard great things about Ducky boards, and Also Coolermaster Boards. Corsair is off the table, as they gave me a shitty keyboard once, will never buy one from them again(not to say they are a bad company, just they don't make the best Keyboards). Any other reccomendations are welcome, although I am only looking for full sized keyboards with a standard ANSI layout under 120 USD. Macro or media keys are nice, but not something I would like enough to go over budget for. RGB is also a must have. If you see any sales, please link them.

 

*EDIT I FORGOT TO SAY I LIKE CHERRY MX BLUES!

Depends on the switch you prefer, go to a local store and test it

I know a lot of people who would disagree with this.

Corsair Strafe is hands down your best option

For first time mechanical keyboard buyers, AZIO might not be a bad option.

Can I recommend you the G910 or G810?

I'll disagree just because you're being profane.

You can reccomend that to me, but do they come in cherry blue style?

[Vandorlot]

I think corsair is the best mechanixal keyboard company. The strafe is pretty nice.

No they use Romer-G

They use Romer-G switches which are in-between Blues and Reds. Still clicky, but don't require much force to press.

That is the exact board I got, lol Logo was crooked, stops on bottom were missing on right side, hope you enjoy yours though.

Oh, I hate reds for the low actuation force on them, so I'll pass on that.

This looks really nice, I trust them with my ram, but should I trust them with my keyboard?

You don't have many options for RGB keyboard with MX Blues for under $120

Don't get razer keyboards, I like the design of the keyboards, but the Razer Green Switches are not that great.

G810 logitech ... it's using Romer-G switches and I like it the most.

I tried to type a bit in store on G610 versions ... I think it was red and brown switches. But G810 just felt better so I went with it.

After more than 10 years of using normal keyboard I went to this one, and I must confes that I slept with my keyboard for first 3 days. It just felt great!

 

Stop judging me!

Then you've never heard of really good ones. Go look at FPU Limited (HHKB), Filco, Varmilo, Leopold or KBP (and few others). Also Ducky is quite better than Corasir. 

For OP, sadly Ducky is out of this range unless 2nd hand or you have luck at bidding on ebay. Ducky Shine 5 is what you're looking for. Can't remember any Cherry RGB boards for less than 120 atm.

Lol I know to stay away from them and Corsair, Those two are like the apple of keyboards. Shitty products with an extra 20 dollars on the price tag for the logo.
