What mechanical keyboard do you recommend? (unlimited budget)

PeruvianHighs · Apr 10, 2017

So, I was looking at some mechanical keyboard, I know it will mostly comes to a personal preference, but I wanted to actually discuss this subject, now normally for me what matters the most is the mouse, at the moment I have a Logitech G203 Prodigy Gaming Mouse which serves me well but misclicks do tend to happen especially right click.

Now I play online poker more than I game, but I do tend to game for at least 4/5 hours a day as the content is used for Twitch and YouTube.

Now for a strictly gaming keyboard which would guys recommend, I don't have a budget, so the price isn't an issue here, but saying that I don't want a tramp-stamped gold plated keyboard just because I can afford it.

I've been looking at the ASUS RGB ones, but my issue is the logo and republic of gaming tramp-stamp, it's kind of an eyesore, but for Asus I am willing to overlook it.

So, guys strictly cherry mx red switches... Any suggestions?

I would look at what Ducky makes about the best quality you can get.

Zerk2012 :

Which one would you go for specifically? And Which one do you have at the moment?

I see you have the Logitech G510s

Do you know what you like? OEM profile (tall) or Cherry (medium/low)? Travel height, 4mm or less?

The WASD Code and V2 are well reviewed and minimal, but they do have somewhat cheap feeling ABS keycaps as stock. Of course you can change them as you like. Vortex is another good company that ships with regular height caps, but in PBT, and offer full size and 60% boards. Ducky is good too.

Speaking for myself, 4mm feels too long and I like lower profile caps. So that left the Cherry MX Board 6.0 (Cherry profile, long travel), Logitech G810 (OEM profile, short travel), and Tesoro Gram (very low profile and travel). Other manufacturers are starting to come out with MX Silvers now though. Like Varmilo, who I'm ordering a TKL from and have medium profile caps. The Cherry 6.0 is quite high end: aluminium case, laser etched keys, 1000Mhz polling. But MX Reds only and no macros or hub. I would consider at least testing the Silvers, they feel a little tighter and sharper than Reds and, to my mind, give a better experience if you habitually bottom out.

caraibes :

Medium would be the option don't want too short or too long, with short you can end up accidentally clicking a key while resting your finger on them, and with long, you just have the extra travel latency.

I might try the TKL sounds decent enough, do you have a link to the one you're buying? I'm not familiar with the company.

Laser side-etched vs top dye sublimated keycaps, and 3mm vs SMD LEDs would be the other main choice. Cynthia can give you the full catalogue. They take Paypal or bank transfer.
