Keyboard Recommendations

Inversion

Since I just got into Uni, my gran has said I can get something for my hard work. I have a budget of around £50. What I'm looking for is a new keyboard. 

 

What I want:

  • Full size
  • RGB
  • Only mechanical if brown switches
  • Wrist rest if possible but not essential

I know of 2 that fit these. The Cooler Master Masterkeys Lite L and the Corsair K55.

 

Any advice is much appreciated

I've never used a Cool Master keyboard, and I've always liked my Corsair keyboards the best. I'd look at the K55.

 

Edit: Depending on where you are, the Strafe is on sale on Amazon.

mechanical keyboard that fits all catigories besides budget, and no wrist rest: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/x3tWGX/thermaltake-keyboard-kbpzrkbbrus01

(if you can find this one, give it a look: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/JygPxr/azio-mgk-l80-wired-gaming-keyboard-mgk-l80-01)

Otherwise, those are both good boards.

They look good but that is the max I can spend. Thanks anyway

I'm not gonna be able to get a mechanical with brown switches. I might just hold off on a keyboard for a while and pick up a Masterkeys Pro L RGB at some point. Maybe get a new Bluetooth speaker instead
