Need 10-keyless, backlit, mechanical chery mx brown USB keyboard

Akshdeep Sharma · Feb 8, 2014

I want to buy a new keyboard. It needs to be:
-Wired (USB)
-10 keyless (no num pad)
-Mechanical (preferably with cherry MX brown switches, as I want them to be as quiet as possible)
-Backlit (doesn't NEED to be, but preferred)

My budget is around $60. I live in Canada (if that changes anything). Thanks.

Akshdeep Sharma :

I have a similar need except backlit is mandatory and I am not particularly price-sensitive. I am looking for inputs regarding this one: TG3 Electronics KBA-CBL87P-WHT-DPU-G1 DECK 87 KEY WHITE LED BROWN MX SWITCH from antonline (Amazon).

You really should start your own post as this is called "hijacking a thread". This time I'll answer since this post seems done.

You give no usable link, however I'd suggest looking at Cooler Master keyboards first. There aren't many keyboards that fit your criteria (tenkeyless, backlight, quality) however THIS one is currently my top choice:

A comparable model WITHOUT a backlight is a lot cheaper:

or

(I have the stealth. The keys are forward not on top of the keys.)

I don't use a backlight, however I'm a good typist so rarely need to see the names of keys.

Other:
If you find a suitable keyboard of another brand for cheaper AND it has pretty good customer feedback then get it. The ones above cost more than your budget.

The "TG3" model you tried to link doesn't seem to be sold at Amazon Canada but is sold in the USA but it costs $140 so I'm not sure why you chose it with a $60 budget.

I think it very unlikely you can find a suitable, quality keyboard in your budget for a mechanical keyboard.

My apologies for my netiquette faux pas. I was thinking that since I had the same question, and had found an answer, this would be the place to identify it. Since the thread is so old, I did start a new one on the same topic.

Note that my post said that I am not price sensitive, so $140 is fine with me.

Thank you for your reply and pointer. I ended up choosing the TG3 based on Amazon reviews.
