Hey guys, I am looking for a budget mechanical keyboard with linear switches.
The 2 keyboards I found at my price range are the K65 and Magicforce 68(the Coolermaster rapidfire with red switches is
too expensive for me).
Thing is the Magicforce(which is for me about 30$ cheaper) has Kailh switches while the K65(none rgb) has cherry and
that worries me, I heard people saying they were inconsistant and that the quality control isn't as good, what's your opionion
about the matter and which one would you choose given the choice?
Thanks!

Having never tried a Magicforce keyboard, I'd recommend the K65. Kailh switches are supposedly lower quality, using cheaper materials, but I can't confidently say that without having tried them.

That being said, Corsair's keyboards have established themselves over the years for their quality construction and sturdy materials. They've built a reputation that they now have to uphold. I use a K95 as my personal keyboard and love it. Unless budget is a serious concern, I would go with the K65 in your situation, every time. Ultimately, you get what you pay for and in my mind, a slight price premium is worth the comfort of mind that comes with purchasing from a reputable brand. I'd imagine Corsair probably has better customer support as...
