I currently have a SteelSeries 6GV2, which does me fairly well.

I'm very interested in replacing this with a similarly specced keyboard, but tenkeyless. Happy to consider a few budget ranges.

Any ideas?
 
Cooler Master Quick Fire TK. Same size as a tenkeyless but keeps the functionality by combining the number keys with the arrow keys etc which you switch between with a function key. Works really well, fully mechanical, looks awesome with a great back-light and is available with a choice of red, blue or brown cherry MX keys. Bought the blue version a few weeks ago and I love it. I paid less than £75 for mine but not from Overclockers, not sure how much it is here but it shouldn't be much different. Only minor issue is there is no USB pass-through or mic/headphone sockets but its not important for me personally. Can't recommend this keyboard enough.:)
 
I have the CM Storm Quickfire TK with brown switches and it ticks all the boxes:-

1. Has Cherry MX brown's.
2. Is smaller than a normal sized keyboard.
3. Still has the Numpad (NUMLK on nos., NUMLK off arrows and funcs.).
4. Backlit
5. No USB or headphone/mic ports I never use on a keyboard.

However, if you want a keyboard with Cherry MX black switches like your 6GV2 and you don't use/want a numpad, then I'd suggest taking a look at the CM Storm Quickfire Rapid. Alternatively, if you still want a numpad there's the TT eSports MEKA, although I don't have personal experience of either.
