Title: help me chose a keyboard
Post by: wheelspk on Mon, 22 October 2012, 09:19:37
hello,

look into buying a keyboard from ONLY EBAY.

should be:

mx red switch ONLY.

TENKEYLESS

back-lighting is not important but will not hurt.

keys should be easily replaceable .

thanks

CM quickfire rapid in reds would be your best bet as far as price for quality

That too.  Although not backlit.  But definitely the cheaper option, and probably the better option quality wise...

You won't go wrong with that one. Leopolds are very well made. The only issue you'll run into is finding compatible spacebars if you ever want to change the keycaps. The stabilizer layout on the spacebar is different to most other boards.

Looks like a good quality board.  Meets all of your criteria, minus the eBay part.

Just a question: why do you want to buy ONLY from eBay?
