Recommend me a mechanical keyboard

Afran · 26 Nov 2017 at 21:59

Hey guys,

So I've been looking into purchasing a mechanical keyboard and think I've decided to go with the MX cherry brown switches, however I'm after a particular layout which doesn't seem common anymore.

Most of the boards I find have the "@" in a different place for example and have a small "enter" key, anyone able to recommend one that is as close as possible to my current keyboard layout? Ideally a similar size and numpad is required. See image below;

Just look for UK or ISO layout in the title/description.

I'd personally recommend this

I was coming to recommend the Cooler Master MasterKeys series. I have a MasterKeys Pro L RGB and love it. It's my second MasterKeys, only got a new one because I wanted a full size keyboard after using a TKL.

I have an old quickfire TK as a daily keyboard and just bought the above board for spreadsheets and the like

Similar but programming for me, I can hit home/end a lot easier on a full size keyboard without other keys around them

Blimey. That's £90 for what looks like an ordinary keyboard.

Whats so special about it?

It was £60 which is a great price for a full size mech regardless. However it also has PBT keycaps which are a much more durable plastic, they don't go smooth or shiny.
