Help buying my first mechanical gaming keyboard

Elfinzz · Dec 2, 2015

Ok so i've been looking for a mid-range mechanical keyboard to use for gaming and work and have been advised to go for CHERRY MX Brown. After a little research this appears to be the correct switch type for my needs.

I found the CM Storm QuickFire XT which i really like due to its standard layout, sturdy design and minimal extras (wrist stands, flashing lights and 1000's of macro keys aren't really my thing).

Unfortunately i cant find it for sale anywhere in the UK and i don't want to order from the US so if anyone could show me a similar keyboard in the same price range(i think it was about £60-£70) that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

First of all don't assume Brown is right for you. Many prefer Reds or Blues for gaming too. It's all personal preference.

But there are a ton of options on Amazon.co.uk like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=node%3D430565031&field-keywords=cherry+mx+brown

Das or Ducky would probably be good brands without a lot of bells and whistles. And in regards to wrist rests, most are removable.

Those are nice keyboards but i was kinda hoping for a standard layout with the numpad on the right and arrow keys in the middle. Im not sure if im being overly picky i just dont want too different of a keyboard layout to what im used too :??:
