Hey there folks, since the USB dongle for my wireless keyboard disappeared last Christmas and I'd be needing a keyboard for my still unbuilt PC quite soon, I've been looking around for a keyboard to suit my needs. Here's what it needs to do:
1) Be a mechanical keyboard, from what I hear, Cherry MX Red or Brown would be perfect for me
2) Have all keys in UK layout, i.e. no TKL since I use all of those keys
3) Have backlit keys so that it's usable in low-light settings, I don't need all the colours of the rainbow (RGB), so I'd prefer just a normal white or red to match the switches. If it has to be another colour, I don't really mind
4) Come in under £70. If I were to be paying more than £50, then I might as well get a mechanical keyboard, but I still need to hold some dough back for a graphics card (hurry up AMD!).
So far, I've found the Func KB-460 and the Ozone Strike Pro. Unfortunately, OCUK don't seem to stock either of these keyboards and finding them elsewhere has proven difficult. They are either in stock and above budget. Or the few places that have them at reasonable prices are out of stock or take a ridiculous time to deliver, unlike OCUK's good service. All my problems would be solved if these were available to buy here. Any alternatives?
