So I need to get a white keyboard for my setup, and originally I was going to go with the neon k51 that had "mem"chanical switches, and had RGB. I was thinking that was a little pricey compared to some other "mem"chanical or even mechanical keyboards so I found this. The Drevo Gramr. It's actually mechanical, buuuuut it doesn't have RGB. Finally, I found this one, which was a fully mechanical, RGB keyboard. But it cost $10 more. So now I'm stuck between

 

Neon k51

+RGB

-Pricey for memchanical

 

Drevo Gramr

+Actually Mechanical

+/- Not full size, but I'm not sure if I dont or do like it...

-No RGB

 

Motospeed 

+Fully Mechanical

+RGB (Indivudally lit)

-$10 more

 

What would you guys do? Not to mention the k51 is on sale for a few more hours, and comes with a free "gaming" mouse I wanted to give to my friend.

Do you need a small form factor board? There are lots of decent RGB mechanical boards under $50...

 

Wouldn't recommend the Drevo unless you're up for lubing or swapping the stabilizers.

 

E-element Z88 RGB for $46. The E-element Z77 is still my favorite board in my growing collection of cheapo Chinese boards (Drevo Gramr, Mantistek GK2, Motospeed CK104). Unfortunately the Z77 RGB doesn't come in white. Still, if the Z88's build is anything like the Z77's, it's highly recommended.
