Spec me a mech keyboard

FeFiDoh · 10 Mar 2013 at 20:13

I keep looking at these so that means sooner or later I will end up with one.
What I would like is
<£100
Backlit
some volume controls
numpad
I play mainly fps but some rpgs

I have looked at the QPAD MK85
The gigabyte one but that is over £100
K60

Few others which I can't remember and seem unable to get on ocuk.co.uk at the moment (to many connections)?

Any recommendations.
Thanks.

Do u know what colour switches you wan't? As they usually restrict the buying options

Red seem the good mix between typing and gaming don't they? Think someone mentioned brown as well. Red certainly seem to be more popular.

red/black gaming brown mixture between gaming and typing and blue mainly typing

Red are the best imo. I'm the keyboard buyer at OcUK, so I'd like to think I know what I'm on about lol.

Try the MK85 with red switches, its what I have if you aint happy remember you can DSR it back for a full refund.

I bought the QPAD MK85 with red switches a couple of weeks ago and it's great. It does take a bit of getting used to when typing cos you only have to put a bit of pressure on the keys for them to register. However, I have noticed the difference in gaming (fps & mmo) and it is the best keyboard I've had, even my wife likes it!

Cherry reds for me too used brown blue and red switches in the past and prefer the reds by a long shot.

Although I have the MK-80 not 85

I have a Noppoo Choc Mini with Red switches. It isn't backlit (not required) but I adore it!

Took the plunge and bought an MK85 last night, thanks people. I kind of hard this one ear marked anyway as it seemed to tick all the right boxes so why not!
