Keyboard recommendation

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

So... what can you recommend me?

 

necessary features:

- anti ghosting (10 key roll over or n-key roll over)

- "normal layout" with cursor keys and number block

- standard-size backspace key

- costs max. 60 EUR / 70 USD

- durable

 

really useful features:

- low key profiles / low key height; or prefferable chichlet design (I'm used to this from the laptops.. )

- background lightning (single-key RGB not necessary.. simple blue or green background lightning is good enough)

 

nice to have's:

- media keys

- macro keys

- two-shot keycaps

 

It doesn't have to be mechanical.. I can also live with a membrane keyboard (which I am used to anyways).

And yes, I know that Chichlet is kind of a no-go for true high performance gamers.. but I have to type a lot on chichlet keyboards during the day, so it kind of messes up my muscle memory when I use another keyboard in my sparetime.

Posting the same thing multiple times wont get results any faster. Lern the forum nug.

 

 

A friend of mine uses this one, and it seems pretty good for the price. The keys are a bit high though. I cant find mine online lol, but its really cheap (made in china) with stupid high keys so you woudnt want it anyway.

I use to have the Razer Cynosa Chroma its pretty nice b4 switching to the blackwidow elite.

Price is like 99 AUD

10 key roll-over with anti-ghosting

You can change the RGB from rainbow to use blue or green if u want. 

 

 

Ya, chiclet design does mess up my muscle memory when i switch keyboard.

But when i switch from a macbook pro 2017 keyboard after uni classes to a normal keyboard.

Oh boy, the travel key is alot diff, the key sizes are diff and not just that trying to wrap my head that the between command + c and ctrl + c.

^ Actually I posted it only once, and received a time out error. Once the forum reloaded I found my post here 5 times; all with the same timestamp. So I went on hiding 4 of them. I think the forum SW is quite buggy..

Wired, wireless or both options?

Well, here's a start. I don't know if you shop on Amazon or not, but you can go to the dealer's website.

I bought the Cynosa Chroma a while back and it's been good so far, I'd recommend the same. With Razer Synapse you can then customize your keyboard very easily and with a lot of options (lighting, macro, hypershift etc.). Although the height might give you some problems (it's definitely up there than let's say an Apple one), but with the extenders I find it really comfortable, without a wrist pad even. However, the individually-backlit keys with RGB lighting is pretty awesome and the amount of customization in this regard is insane. Some games even have pre-made profiles and few developers have integrated stuff like health bar into the keyboard lighting which gives a whole new meaning to it as well.

 

The slightly expensive Pro model comes with lit ends, and is just an extra thing to have.

You will probably end up posting 15 times or something.

Picked up Apple Magic Keyboard with numpad yesteday and fell in love immediately. If you like low keys and are willing to spend a bit more, it's a great choice. Keyboard is not a thing to save money on if you use it every day.

I was going to buy one too

But then i saw on the internet that the centre of the keyboard will start to bend in overtime.
