So i'm looking for a cheap blue switch keyboard for on my desk at work, 

 

It doesn't need all the bells and whistles of a gaming keyboard (back light etc,) 

 

I just need a decent quality blue switch keyboard that doesn't cost too much as i'm only using it at work

 

any ideas?

Simple Outemo Blue keyboard. UK Layout.

 

Outemo switches are pretty nice, only a little louder than Cherry MX Blue switches (so inb4 your coworkers get mad :P )

They will hear you clickity-clack from far way xD

I don't know the UK layout fully, but just double check if that layout is good to you. Like the symbols on the right are laid out differently.
