Are there any better mechanical keyboards that don't break the bank?
I'm looking to buy a decent keyboard - nothing ridiculous as I'm not a keyboard enthusiast, but decent enough for regular use. In particular, I'm looking for something...
- tkl or full size, nothing with a non-standard arrow key layout
- Pink or pink and white (or white but cheap enough I can buy keycaps with it)
- Quieter switches and shorter travel are perfered, but not a deal breaker
- Available in Canada
Currently I'm mostly looking at the Razer BlackWidow V3 for $122 CAD. I'm not exactly a Razor fan, but the only competitve option I found was the Ducky One 3 TKL for $171 CAD. I'm sure the quality is better, and the hotswappable switches are very nice, but it lacks the backlight and the media controls while being $50 more expensive.
Is there a better option I'm missing, or a good reason to pick one or the other?
You're viewing a single thread.
I have a Redragon keyboard using their off-brand CherryMX knock offs and it feels the same as the Corsair I had with actual CherryMX switches.
The Corsair is almost $200. The Redragon was $40, and came with a mouse, a headset, and a big ass mouse pad. But I don't think they come in something that isn't lighted in some way, if you don't want RGB bs.
I was in the market for a new keyboard recently, and came down to either a Redragon or a HyperX, and I ended up going with the latter just because it was on sale. I'm happy with the HyperX, but I think either would have been just as good for me.
Very similar details to what you wrote here -- they have their own switches, feels nice, inexpensive, RGB... I got black "pudding" key caps to replace the stock ones, but there are plenty of pink options too.
Only thing I don't think works for OP is that I don't see any HyperX keyboards with a white base, only black. Redragon has at least a few white base keyboards, though.
