New Keyboard. Can't decide

bolterixus · 18 May 2015 at 18:11

Hey guys

I want to buy a new keyboard. Right now I am using the mad catz v7. But I feel that it is a bit too large for me. I would like something smaller but not too small. I would like the keyboard to have the number key pad as well. I will use the keyboard for gaming and for daily use. I dont want to price to be over 60 pounds. Any suggestions

Hey.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Corsair Raptor K40 Gaming Keyboard (CH-9000051-UK) £57.95
1 x Gigabyte Force K7 Stealth Gaming Keyboard £39.95
1 x Corsair Raptor K30 Gaming Keyboard (CH-9000043-UK) £39.95
Total : £147.44 (includes shipping : £8.00 Ex.VAT).

these two corsairs I feel will make you happy.

The Gigbayte is there just because, but I tried one and found the keys to be very flat and almost "laptop" like.

Is there any good keyboard which is a bit shorter. But the K40 looks ok

bolterixus · 18 May 2015 at 19:09

Would you say that the razer blackwidow tournament edition is a good choice or would you say that the K40 is better?

stulid · 18 May 2015 at 19:16

Not used one, the only way I think to get it a bit shorter is look for a ten keyless (TKL) keyboard.

That Gigabyte is one ugly keyboard.

bolterixus · 19 May 2015 at 18:17

Would you recommend of getting a bit more expensive keyboards like one of the ducky or CM or would you say that I should go with like the K40 or the blackwidow tournament

I would like a go with a mechanical keyboard. Would you recommend any up to 70 pounds maybe 80 in the worst case

Id look for a Corsair K65 mechanical which can be had for about £57.

bolterixus · 19 May 2015 at 19:02

any other than the K65 as it takes quite a bit of space. I dont want a tiny keyboard but I dont want as large either like in width

stulid · 19 May 2015 at 19:07

A K65 looks small.

You want a numpad so that going to take more space up than a K65.

bolterixus · 19 May 2015 at 19:09

When I looked up the price it said it is 110 pounds

stulid · 19 May 2015 at 19:10

You must be looking at the wrong keyboard.

You are looking at the RGB version aren't you?

bolterixus · 19 May 2015 at 19:11

probably, would you be able to give me the link?

stulid · 19 May 2015 at 19:17

I can show you it at corsair - http://www.corsair.com/en-gb/vengeance-k65-compact-mechanical-gaming-keyboard

Would this be any good? - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-016-CM&groupid=702&catid=2705 - has the numpad on a compact size

)

bolterixus · 19 May 2015 at 19:21
