Silent Keyboard Help

Go to solution Solved by bellabichon,

If you have the cash to spare, I would personally get the G810. I've had that keyboard for about 2 years now, and it's never let me down. The keys are crisp enough that you know that you've pushed a key, but the Romer-G switches don't have a loud clicking sound. The one downfall of the keyboard is the software. It doesn't have that many lighting effects built in, but with some tweaking, you can make your own quite easily.

Hey there, please can someone recommend me a silent RGB keyboard worth under £150? (No armrests, I like the look of the Logitech Orion G810 but looking for a cheaper one if possible.)

 

Thanks in advance!

I'd personally end up getting something like a Corsair Strafe that doesn't have Blues (or whatever the heavier variant is called) and then throwing o-rings on it. Sure, the o-rings kinda detract from the "experience" but it makes the keyboard really quiet, especially if you don't type like an ape.

Don't really like the WASD and Space Bar key but thanks.

Eh, you get non-textured WASD keys but yeah the textured space bar is meh at best. I'd love to get normal K70 caps for my Strafe for the font and non-textured caps.
