Just searching for a new keyboard to buy without breaking the bank. This one is the best option until i see the HyperX Alloy Core RGB on 12.11. Wanted to ask if the keyboard is durable for someone whos tried it? Because this cheap keyboard i have right now (got it for 15 eur) at first it was a soft membrane touch but now its a typewriter and that pretty annoying when youre trying to type at night / silent time.

Having used the G213, it's pretty durable and well built however the typing experience was worse than that of membrane keyboards IMO.

The key switches are very hard to push, like Cherry MX Blacks.

It uses a “fancy” membrane right? Never have used it myself but have heard about it.

Who needs fancy graphics and high resolutions when you can get a 60 FPS frame rate on iGPUs?

Not sure what it uses, but the typing experience was terrible.
