Corsair k95 killed by a dose of coke.....

It's been binned, it was still dead after a few days drying out.

So need a new keyboard.

The corsair software is not great, so looking at good board for typing and bf1.

Heard the ducky shine 6 or corsair k95 platinum but what's the better route for keyboards?

Never had a ducky before but I've read good things about it.

So any advice before I spend some pennies.

Not sure but the cheapest mechanical sounds like the best option for you! If you are after a no thrills but decent keys then you could get the Rosewill RK-9000V2, not a bad keyboard for 40 quid.

I bought one of these yesterday and was very impressed:

TKL, No RGB, no backlit keys, PBT keycaps, epic build quality, only £80
Would recommend for office or gaming.

Edit: I should add, it feels nicer than my ROG claymore core which was twice the price.

Not OP but I like the look of the TKL design, if I didn't need the keypad for Arma and CSGO keybinds I would consider it.

I looked at the Masterkeys but wasnt sure. The Ducky is now on its way after i just couldnt buy another Corsair with the software issues and some failures people have had.

Will see how it feels and works and go from there, hope its a long term option.

I heard good stuff about the Corsair Strafe. Check it out. I saw some for 50 quid on ebay.

Had the ducky with brown keys for a bit now and it seems really nice, nice and bright leds and typing is much improved.

Did you string up the offending can of coke in your fridge with a note tied to it describing its crimes like during the cultural revolution in China? Strike fear into the rest of your Coca-Cola so this doesn't happen again!

I currently have a Corsair Strafe RGB and an Ozone Strike Battle. At the time the Ozone one cost me £58. The corsair costs quite a bit more.

Must say though I far prefer typing on the Ozone.

Good cheap board
