hopefully between £50-£100 lowest being better

I wouldn't go back to a membrane keyboard after getting used to a mechanical, even got one to use at work too, I wouldn't spend more than £50-£100 on one. I mainly like the clicky blue switches (or Razer green clicky switches), but there are quieter ones you can get.

There are a few in the clearance section you could probably get a good deal on.

Loving my Corsair Strafe RGB Blue that OCUK had on offer for 89.99 in May 17.

Get a kick every time I type on it.

Any of the Ducky boards in this clearance list are solid for the money.

Those blues do make a beautiful sound.

I think the most important thing is to decide which type of key you want. Clicky, smooth, silent and so on.

Love my mechanical Razer Blackwidow elite. The click sounds are so good

Roccat Supra RGB brown TTC switches . Razer Huntsman Speedligh switches.

Bit late, but I love my "Mionix Zibal 60 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard" and well worth the cash (had it witout any problems for a couple years):

Razer huntsman, would not recommend the mini version, I have heard lots of quality control issues with it

Etheco · 12 Jun 2021 at 22:17

I have been looking at the new Roccat Pyro

Recently switched over to a HyperX Alloy Origins Core (the TKL version), with red switches. Absolutely love it.

If you don't mind not having dedicated media keys then the ducky one2 is pretty good. Personally found it a lot nicer to type on compared to the corsair K90.

Are you looking to mod else go full custom though does cost a lot more. Ducky are solid buys otherwise.

Do you know what type of switch feel/noise you're after too?
