Retired Leader Mojo Posted September 30, 2020 Retired Leader Share Posted September 30, 2020 Looking to buy a new keyboard and looking for suggestions. Obviously a good keyboard doesn't matter too much for OSRS but it matters more in other games I play such as Fortnite. So drop your keyboard suggestions, any price range and keep in mind I'm in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I had a blackwidow ultimate that lasted me like 5 years. Was very happy with that. It still sort of works but some keys type multiple times when I click em. Atm, I have a Razer Ornata which is ok. The sound is very satisfying but it's not as good/fast as the blackwidow that I had.

Frog Wiz Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) It seems to be out of stock in the UK Amazon store, but I've been using a Logitech G710+ for 3 years and have been happy so far. The custom keys on the left are fantastic for me as well as the volume scroller on the top right. I bought it for $82 USD in 2017, so it definitely not the most expensive but gets the job done for me. I'm sure there are better ones out there and people who have bought keyboards more recent than me though.

Groedius Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Definitely get a mechanical keyboard i have had a razer blackwidow ultimate for an couple of years now or so and its pretty sweet https://www.amazon.co.uk/Razer-BlackWidow-Ultimate-Mechanical-Keyboard-Black/dp/B00IG3GPTS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=blackwidow+ultimate&qid=1601478254&refinements=p_76%3A419158031&rnid=419157031&rps=1&sprefix=blackwidow+ult&sr=8-1 Mojo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Siz Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Do you have a preference for switches? I had the blackwidow ultimate for a while with blue switches and that was great. Now I have a corsair k95 with reds (didn't have an option for blue) and I'd say it's pretty decent. Personally I found out i'm a bigger fan of blues though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Sabre Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I assume you want the UK layout with the small left shift key with slash next to it and the angled return key. Yes definitely mechanical. The question is do you want clicky switches with tactile feedback, or do you want linear switches that tend to perform faster for gaming? TOP RECOMMENDATION FOR UK - 73 GBP Corsair Red Switches TKL Black Keyboard w/ Red LEDs- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CH-9115020-UK-Key-Less-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B06XQ5G9ZZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=corsair%2Bred%2Bswitches&qid=1602277951&sr=8-6&th=1&psc=1 Blue switches are typically the louder with heavier clicky key presses, but they are also the least expensive which is the main reason to buy them. Blue switches provide a satisfying typing and productivity experience, and perform just fine for gaming! For 20 - 34 GBP you can get these inexpensive black RGB mechanical keyboards with blue switches. I always prefer the more compact versions, but if you are doing calculations or data entry on a regular basis you should robably get it with the number pad. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B089ZWKMJL/ref=sspa_mw_detail_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mechanical-Keyboard-Switches-Element-Ergonomic-Z77-LED/dp/B07MHZFTY6/ref=sxin_15_sxwds-deals-bau?cv_ct_cx=tkl+mechanical+keyboard&dchild=1&keywords=tkl+mechanical+keyboard&pd_rd_i=B07MHZFTY6&pd_rd_r=67005d74-6c0b-4d37-83f4-0f899395966d&pd_rd_w=4tYTI&pd_rd_wg=R6VIF&pf_rd_p=4e050e14-ea05-4589-9a23-31e24420f9df&pf_rd_r=ZBNTKE1XF6R1HFJK2THZ&psc=1&qid=1602275944&sr=1-1-9f258eb7-99a0-4c1d-b737-888da4249fb4 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mechanical-Keyboard-PICTEK-Anti-ghosting-Customizable/dp/B07YXXDCMY/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=pictek+tkl&qid=1602275047&sr=8-2 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mechanical-PICTEK-Adjustable-Anti-ghosting-Programming-Black/dp/B08CXR4HCL/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=pictek+tkl&qid=1602275047&sr=8-3 For slightly more money you can start looking at Brown switches which are a bit softer and feel faster while gaming, but still provide tactile feedback and a soft click for a satisfying typing experience. A little more will get you red linear switches which don't have the feedback click mechanism and perform even faster for gaming with a 2.0mm actuation. The next step is speed switches with 1.2mm or better. Speed switches are cherry silvers or razer yellows. Theres also expensive linear optical switches from several brands. $38 Ten Keyless RGB w/ Brown switches https://www.amazon.co.uk/DREVO-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard-Backlight/dp/B07SG2KGTP/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=tkl%2Bmechanical%2Bkeyboard%2Blinear%2Bswitch&qid=1602276033&sr=8-9&th=1&psc=1 $33 Ten Keyless White LED w/ Red Switches https://www.amazon.co.uk/DREVO-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard-Backlight/dp/B07SG5LM2N/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=tkl%2Bmechanical%2Bkeyboard%2Blinear%2Bswitch&qid=1602276033&sr=8-9&th=1&psc=1 35 GBP for Compact Keyboard w/ Red Switches, White keyboard with White LEDs https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hoopond-Mechanical-Keyboard-Backlit-Anti-ghosting/dp/B07XBSDCL5/ref=mp_s_a_1_30?dchild=1&keywords=tkl%2Bmechanical%2Bkeyboard%2Blinear%2Bswitch&qid=1602276618&sr=8-30&th=1&psc=1 45 GBP for TKL Keyboard w/ Red Switches, Black Keyboard with RGB LEDs https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oversteel-TITANIUM-TKL-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B083SZTSPD/ref=mp_s_a_1_31?dchild=1&keywords=tkl%2Bmechanical%2Bkeyboard%2Blinear%2Bswitch&qid=1602276618&sr=8-31&th=1&psc=1 65 GBP for 60% RGB w/ Red Switches https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mechanical-Keyboard-Waterproof-Swappable-Programmable/dp/B07W4JKP1H/ref=mp_s_a_1_17_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=tkl%2Bmechanical%2Bkeyboard%2Blinear%2Bswitch&qid=1602276371&sr=8-17-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExTkJZWjJKTjhHOExFJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTk0NjYwMjFFR1M2REo3RUhBUiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMzM4MTA3MVhZVjk1TFNTMU5RSiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9idGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl&th=1 EDITING IN MORE OPTIONS IN A BIT Corbula 1 Quote Leader and Head Warlord of the Wilderness Guardians WildGuard let's gooooo!!!!

AlthorX Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Im a bit late to this party but anyway..... a few things to keep in mind are: do you have a spouse/kids/roommate/etc that can hear it? if so then avoid mechanical...you will be shot. I bought a corsair k55 specifically because it is moderately quiet...i can type at 4 am without the person sleeping 14 feet away getting pissed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misdeal Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 https://www.amazon.ca/Cougar-Keyboard-8-Different-Lightning-Effects/dp/B06XZYGD2J I use this one, nice cause it's a low profile keyboard and I'm used to laptop keyboards, pretty quiet keys too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvaresi Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) This post is a bit old but if you're still looking for recommendations... Considering Fornite's the only game u mentioned I'm assuming it's going to be primarily for that. I'm guessing you'd either want to go for 60-65% or TKL form factor. Unless you play at a very high sense or feel comfortable playing with a vertical keyboard, in which case the only thing that matters is the switch type. Personally I like tactile switches, which are similar to Clicky switches like MX Blue or Razer Green but Tactile switches are just much quieter, which is better if you don't live alone or plan on streaming. Example of tactile switches are Cherry MX Brown, HyperX Aqua, Kaihl Brown, Outemu Brown, Gateron Brown, most of the Kaihl BOX lineup. The reason I prefer tactile switches for games that require a tremendous amount of keyboard clicks in quick succession such as Fortnite is because u want to be able to feel when a click gets registered (specially if u use double-edit keybinds or if u use all 4 building binds on the keyboard). Linear switches usually don't offer any feedback but tends to be slightly faster as u don't need to fully bottom out when clicking. When I was attempting to play Fortnite competitively, I found that I preferred to stay away from Linear switches because I often over-clicked due to lack of tactile feedback or accidentally clicking because linear switches tend to have a very low actuation force. From there on, it's just about finding a model that you like. Some of my favorites are the: Corsair K68/K95 (full size) Ducky One 2 (full size & TKL) Ducky One 2 Mini (60-65%) Anne Pro (60-65%) HyperX Alloy Origins Core (TKL) Logitech G413 (full size & TKL) Razer Huntsman TE (TKL) Razer Blackwidow Series (full size) Steelseries Apex Pro (full size) Steelseries Apex 7 (TKL) Edited January 29, 2021 by Salvaresi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karaja Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Simply for cleaning reasons, I reccomend getting a keyboard that has the keys sitting above the base, like this example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDorkfish Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I've been using the Corsair K68 for a while now and I really like it. It uses Cherry MX Red switches. Certainly not the quietest keyboard, but I like it. Like mentioned above, the tactile feedback might be nice where you might be needing multiple repeated inputs. My primary other game is league, where those are not nearly as common, so I like the more linear, faster key response, instead of having to bottom out before it takes the input.

That's where I got my current silent mechanical keyboard and it's really nice. I'd say everything is in the 100-200$ range though which is a bit expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
