Need a replacement for my G513

[McGraw]

My G513 is dying. The LEDS started failing a year or so ago and now some of the switches seem to be failing. Cleaning hasn't helped.

I quite like it other than the switches but don't want to spend loads as intending to replace a lot of stuff when I move house in a few months.

I only use it for PVE FPS/Sim racing/flying and the very ocassional bit of posting/word processing. Don't really care which switches it has.

Does anyone recommend anything around £50? It must be backlit as I game in the dark. I can use any size but might favour a smaller layout this time.

Nice to have:

Mechanical
USB C detachable

Thanks.

Which switches does it have and what it is you don't like about them?

And do you think you could adjust to a US (ANSI) layout?

If US layout is ok there are some really good cheap options out there, I recently bought a NewMan GM610, which is pretty nice but is currently about twice what I paid for mine. It's also a 60% board which is a bit confined for most uses IMO, I've since ordered a much higher end 75%

The GM326 is still on offer at the moment for a very good price (in white, the black one is a bit more), it's a 75% board with linear (red) switches. Epomaker also make some good budget mechanical boards (including some UK layout), but they start a little over your budget and mostly in beige/weird colours.
(can't link as ocuk don't stock them)

About the only thing I can find on ocuk is this, but it's not mechanical and personally I don't think I'd ever go back given the choice!
