Best Gaming Keyboard for £100ish

QPAD Backlight Failure.

I have had my QPAD MK-85 since November, less than 5 months.

Great Keyboard, blue switches, I like the click clack of the keys. Appears very solid.

However, the backlighting has stopped working and it will be winging its way back to OCUK shortly.

+1 for the Osmium.

I don't like the look of the Osmium. I hear it's a great board, but the Corsair K70 and K95 look amazing. I'm getting one of those.

That's what I'm thinking. K70 should be out same time as K95. I don't need those extra buttons tbh.

I have this exact problem but never been able to find replacement keys. I think im gonna go with the Corsair k70 in red when its out

i have the steelseries 6gv2 although it looks basic its absolute fantastic.

I'm currently pondering which one to go for too - I'm tempted to go with the gigabyte osmium on the basis that most people recommend it but I had a play on a logitech 710+ today and loved it. Though it has a plastic body it feels very solid and I loved the feedback from the keys. Does anyone have any experience of both? I can't compare it to the gigabyte keyboard because I can't find anywhere to have a try on one!

Gigabyte Osmium is a great keyboard I bought a new blackwidow ultimate 2013 and after a week sold it and bought the gigabyte as i didn't like the razer .

When is the k70 out in uk?

Greeny1994 · 3 Apr 2013 at 10:56

Would prefer the Osmium With browns and the white back lighting. OCUK don't stock it tho

I hear this month? Waiting for a K70 myself.

Anyone have a opinion on the razer deathstalker expert edition?

I think it looks quite nice, I enjoyed the typing feel of my logitech k750 and since it has chiclet keys I was wondering does anyone know if it will have the same typing feel?

I like that the light only shines through the letters not around the keys which looks very smart indeed.

I have a saitek cyborg v5 at the moment which is fine but I don't really like the typing feel its too "spongey" and lacking response.

I was originally looking at mechanical keyboards so I don't know if it would be a bad move getting a deathstalker keyboard that has chiclet keys.

Cheers

CM Storm TK

I'd go with something like this. Or go mad with a Filco!

The MX Brown switched TK has white LED backlighting too.

I'd certainly say MX Browns though, light enough, but with the tactile bump
