So i think i need a new KB. ive been using a microsoyt bluetooth curve 6000 something one. hile i love the curve to it its basically a laptop thinkness one and its a bit meh.

so i think i want to move to real keyboard but since there is no where i know of where you can actually see one in the flesh and touch other than ** Don't mention competitors **, how do you guys pick one? do you just order one and hope you like it, not trying anything else? do you order 5 and keep the one you like?
 
yeah the purple place is an option, i think its about the only option in town but its not exactly a wide selection.

so how did all you guys pick your keyboards? just picked online and hoped fro the best?

Apart from the blue switch, what are you looking for ?

RGB back lights ? 60% size ? 10 keyless ? removable usb cable ?

more ore less yes to all of them, actually id rather the arrow and numbers were on the left but i realise thats not happeneing.

removable cable would def be a plus, lights too would be wanted. idealy black keys with black writing with a dimmable lighting. aslo keys must be rearangeable so i can move the keys about for puting in dvorak layout.

mostly though what i really want is one that i like the feel of typing on which there is no way to know without trying

I was lucky that a mate of mine got a cherry red switch keyboard before I got one myself. All keys are swappable so easy to change they layout.

Look on website for some that you like and check Youtube, If you are after 60% look at ducky. Maybe you should look at some retail shops to try some out ?
