New mechanical keyboard time :D

Vaesor · 24 Mar 2014 at 21:52

okay took me a while to sort out a new mouse, (ended up sticking with WMOs - since it was the only thing close to the dell one i got used to and better than my lefty DA grip wise), but now i'm thinking of finally getting a compact mechanical keyboard. i've been leaning towards a corsair K65 or a CM storm quickfire TK stealth. any other suggestions would be great, but mainly looking for compact mechanicals since i will be mobile a fair bit! would be great to hear first hand experiences in relation to quality too!

Thanks in advance

Mike!

Ducky do the shine 3 without a num pad. Bit pricier but if you like your backlights its a nice choice.

wow that is a nice keyboard, but i'm not too bothered about back-lighting. i'd rather save on money and go for something without, but all i'm concerned about is quality with the two i've mentioned. hard to find decent reviews where people have had them tried and tested. either way thanks and if you can think of any others that'd be nice.

How much do you want to spend? I always recommend the SteelSeries 6Gv2 for an entry level, no gimmick mech board. They don't do a tenkeyless version, however.

Probably about £70-75. That's max. At the end of the day it's a keyboard, but I kinda want one to last me a lifetime

wait for the corsair cherry rgb. Unless money is no object you'll regret buying anything new at this stage.

looks like it will cost over £120. aesthetics = fantastic, but i wanna go for a tenkeyless without all the fancy shmancy stuff
