Title: Which 65% ISO UK?
Post by: silk186 on Tue, 27 October 2020, 09:59:41

I've tried a number of Chinese mechanical keyboards over the years and know what I'm looking for: 60-65% with arrow keys. My current board is a Royal Kludge RK61 which is starting to die. I ordered a Royal Kludge RK61 pro with Cherry switches but I'm having trouble getting it shipped from China. With the lockdown I'm running the board through a KVM to a work laptop so now I'm more pressed to adopt the ISO UK layout. I want something as compact as possible, good build quality and preferably LED/RGB. Below are all the suitable options I've found.

•   Ducky Mecha SF Radiant Series (limited edition) - I really like this one but ISO is TBA
•   Durgod Hades 68 - ISO is supposed to be released this month
•   Ducky Varmilo MIYA Pro Panda - gap between arrows and home keys, expensive for not having an aluminium case
•   UK Majestouch MINILA Air 68 - I don't need wireless and don't like the top bit and indicator lights
•   Leopold FC660M - clean design but no backlight
•   Vortex Cypher 65% - clean design but no backlight

What did you end up going with? I am facing a similar dilemma.
