Spec me a new Keyboard please?

something daft already!! · 26 Nov 2018 at 09:34

Hello, I poured almost a whole pint of drink into my G19 last night and have pretty much killed it. I have taken it apart and tried to clean it but the ` key keeps being held down no matter what I do. I am going to need a new one. Want to spend around £40 and get RGB if possible. Not too fussed about it being mechanical but would be nice if possible. I was looking the the G213.

Personally I'm a big fan of Steelseries products, but either of these would be good with your budget. Both RGB, neither is mechanical though.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Steelseries Apex 150 USB RGB Gaming Keyboard UK Layout (64668)= £45.95
1 x Logitech G213 Prodigy RGB Gaming Keyboard (920-008091)= £49.99

Total: £104.64 (includes shipping: £8.70)

As far as peripherals, I've never had any problems with Logitech. If mechanical isn't a priority I think the G213 should do the job nicely.

I bought a cheap one from the rainy place and it is led backlit with mechanical switches. I really miss my g19 though. I miss the little screen, but I am thinking of scrapping this £20 jobby and getting the G213. I just don't like the look of it. Maybe I will treat myself for christmas.

G413? It's on my list.

It's a shame they don't make a direct replacement for the g19. I rather liked having the extra little screen.
