good mechanical keyboard

maddog-3001 · Aug 8, 2013

I'm looking to get a mechanical keyboard, I would like for it to be as cheap as possible, I would like for it to have cherry mx blue or brown switches (which is better?), and for it to be under 40cm (16 inches) wide as my desk is small, I don't really care about back lighting however it would be nice, I've been looking at the razer tournament (possibly stealth) edition as it fits all these categories and its only £70, but is there a better choice???

Consider some of the coolermaster quickfire keyboards (either rapid or tk) as they are available in a wide selection of keyswitches and are of the tenkeyless form factor. Scan sell a good amount of them (i am using a Quickfire rapid bought from scan myself)

ok, but what do you think about the razer black widdow tournament edition?

JTec · Aug 8, 2013

to be honest i think Razer products are really overpriced for what they actually deliver . You can find much better deals out there .

JTec :

I have heard of razer products being overpriced, but it seems that the razer black widdow tournament is the cheapest mechanical keyboard out there.
do you know any ones under £70

JTec · Aug 8, 2013

i would go with this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-JQD-00006-Sidewinder-X4-Keyboard/dp/B0037KLSS8/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1376007599&sr=1-1&keywords=mechanical+gaming+keyboard its good looking , reliabble , performs well and at a very good price .

BTW its also the keyboard i have and ive had no problems with it

JTec :

this isn't a mechanical keyboard...

JTec · Aug 8, 2013

maddog-3001 :

Its mid way between for people on a budget , if your willing to raise your price limit abit you will able to get a variety of really good mechanical keyboards. Razers whole market plan is to put there budget mechanical keyboard just below the quality ones , so people will buy their product thinking its cheap but what your actually getting is a load of rubbish and dont say that im a Razer hater because i use their Kraken headset .

JTec :

so do you know any other cherry mx brown keyboards that are under 40cm wide and are available in the uk, cause I can't find any, the cm storm quickfire rapid looks like a good choice, but it is only available in black in the uk, do you know when the brown or blue version will arrive??

Here is the quickfire rapid with cherry mx browns:

However I can no longer find the quickfire rapid with mx blues, so as an alternative I would chose the TK as it is the same size, has a backlight and the arrow keys and the block of keys above that can be turned into a numpad.

thanks I'll be getting the tk , also I've decided to go for browns, and the quickfire tk seems to be as cheap as it gets for mechanical keyboards, plus it has backlight keys

Good choice! I am considering getting a TK soon and would appreciate it if you told me how living with it is like.
