Mechanical Keyboard for work - UK Layout

[elrasho]

Looking for a KB for work that isn't a "gaming" one. I like the ones that have a retro look like this: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/duck...ry-mx-speed-silver-vintage-per-dck-00946.html

But with some color. Any recommendations? Will be using it a lot for 8+ hours a day

Thanks for the reply. I'm looking for one that is more pleasing on the eye like the RK Royal Kludge but with UK keyboard layout

What do you mean by some colour, as in leds or coloured keycaps themselves? You can always look at aftermarket keycap sets to get whatever combination of colours you want.

Last year I got an epomaker th80 pro to try a wireless keyboard, mostly a 'classic/retro' colour scheme but with a bit of colour and have been enjoying it, actually retired my ducky mini with GH60 orange/black keycaps and just use this at the moment.

Yes that's exactly the kind I'm looking for. The epomaker th80 looks great in reviews but what puts me off is some reviews saying after months of use some keys require you to press hard or multiple times to register the key stroke.

I really do like the Epomaker RT100 98 but again worried it won't last a year with 8 hours a day 5 days a week office use.

Hence I'm looking for a brand that is sold by UK retailers like Overclockers and other well know computer shops

Ok I'll look at keycaps for that ducky I linked in the original post

Edit: which colour switches shall I go for? The one I had was brown and I liked it but was a tad too loud in terms of the echoing click noise

The Cherry KC MX 200 is a good brand but it looks a bit meh. Can the keycaps be swapped on it? Their website doesnt mention it

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm still kea img towards the Ducky Vintage or the Cherry one mainly as they are sold within UK online retailers and not coming from China.
