I'm looking for a keyboard with macros for a family members birthday present.

 

They mostly do video and image editing, almost no gaming. Has to be available in Canada with Prime shipping or from a reputable canadian supplier (no newegg) like Canada Computers or Memory Express, has to be a decent brand with physical macro keys and at least volume controls.

 

I own this and was thinking about sending one up to them (they apparently want/need a new mouse too).

I don't want to spend more then $100 on the combo preferably.

The best keyboard I've seen is the Corsair K55, and if you want a mouse I wouldnt reccomend anything crazy. This should be fine

Thank you for the recommendations, the only thing I don't like about the keyboard is the cable besides that I do like it tho a little pricey :P I'll download the owners manual and read more about it however.

 

The mouse seems rather price for a non braided unit.

Yeah lmao, I actually found another mouse, the Corsair Harpoon! It's cheap and pretty good for everything!

Still not braided. After talking to them about their mouse issue it turns out it gets tugged/pulled and getting stuck a lot... So I'm thinking about getting the Dark Core SE, it alone is over the ideal budget a little (on sale) but imo with the issues they have with the current mouse (tugging and all) I don't want to really risk sending a $40 product to them to find out the cable breaks because of the rubber cable inside a few months. They already have a wireless mouse but they don't like plugging it in or recharging the batteries... So I'll likely buy a Qi charger too for them.

 

Also looking into the keyboard via the weirdly simple instruction manual available online, the macros have no gui setup like the Tt esports one I listed above. I love corsair, but they likely need the gui because it's not meant for gaming purposes. I think I'll hold off on the keyboard for now, but other suggestions would be great :) As I think I'll still send one to them at a later date.
