Best 10 keyless keyboard

Absorbentsolid · 2 Jun 2016 at 09:40

Hey guys, I'm currently using the Corsair K65 Keyboard as i like the small form factor of the keyboard and i'm looking for a upgrade.

I'd also like to choose a different switch as I've always had cherry MX Red.

Any suggestions on a keyboard to choose? It doesn't have to have anything gaming related on it like extra macro keys etc i'd just like a 10 keyless keyboard that feels nice to type on for extended periods of time.

I hear Ducky's are great so I'm currently eyeing them at the moment.

No budget, Thanks y'all!

Ducky One TLK
Coolermaster Masterkeys S

Those would be my 2 choices.

As an aside, I'm waiting on a switch tester to arrive as I'm thinking of going browns or clears for my next board. If you like you're more than welcome to borrow it to test the keys out.

We have a couple of new TKL's models coming to the UK mid June, if you don't require back-light these might be of interest to you.

Will be available with Cherry Brown, Black, Blue, Red, Green and White switches.

There will be an all white version also.

This sounds very promising, Any news on the Ducky shine 6?

Looks wise very much the same as the "YOTM" has the slimmer bezel, detachable mouse-cord bungee and double-shot PBT keycaps.

Things may change though

I like the coolermaster quickfire tk. Tenkeyless size but has a numpad available at the press of a button. Useful for when you need to type in lots of numbers but not in the way when not using it.

I like the idea of a white keyboard - will there be a RGB version?
Cheers.

We have the Ducky One TKL RGB model out soon in black, an all white model may come eventually.

Our solution to that is the Ducky Pocket

CM Novatouch, highly underrated and I found going from Cherry switches to Topre switches really easy. I don't think I could go back. It's an absolute steal now it's selling for £70.

Went from a Ducky Shine 5 to a CM Masterkeys S recently and I am very happy with the setup. I have gained more desk space as well as allowing for my mouse and keyboard to be closer to each other whilst gaming. I can't say I missed the numpad either as I only really use it when entering card numbers doing online payments.

Just gone to a CM Masterkeys S as well and can really recommend it - lovely keyboard with great build quality. As for key type - I've gone from MX blacks to browns and while it's taking a little adjustment I'm already preferring the lighter touch of the browns. They're not too clicky either which is a bonus but still provide a great level of tactile feedback for typing.

CoolerMaster Quickfire TK, brown switches and white backlight. Very happy with it for a year now. Switches are very comfortable and not loud. NKRO over USB is awesome, register all simultaneous keypresses.
From disadvantages - for some reason i can go in bios with it. Del button doesn't register in neither modes (Numpad and normal). so i've spare keyboard to go in bios...lol

The Ducky website also shows there is a "ONE TKL RGB VERSION".

Are there any plans to introduce to UK? This keyboard looks awesome
