Hello, I am looking for a keyboard as described in the subject title. I also want to have mx lock keys at all function keys, esc and delete key. Where can i get cherry mx lock keys?
Requirements:
- 70% (must have individual function keys)
- corded
- non-backlit (or the option to turn it of)
- mx green keyes
- ISO layout
Edit: added list and changed the subject title from 65% to 70%
-
So basically you want a 65% keyboard and then replace the switches with MX Lock keys after?
Cooler Master has a 65% keyboard called "CM Storm QuickFire TK" with MX Greens if that is what you are looking for, the MX Lock keys are something I have no idea where to get.
-
Get them from 7bit over at deskthority.

I don't think 7bit has stock on mx lock :(

I am confused.
Do you want TKL (80%) or 65% (60%+arrows)?
Good luck getting MX lock keys, 7bit is sold out, and spamray bought every lock key he could find and sold them in a GB a few weeks ago.

Haha now you confused me aswell I just assumed he was after a TKL and reccomended the CM.

he mentions function keys, so I think he may be interested in a 70 or 70%. It's hard to know exactly what he wants. the %keyboard standard is loose at best.
From his description, I suspect the sayout he wants might be similar to this:

are there any factory produced 65%'s? I know the pure-pro has arrow keys, and the FC660 has a couple extra keys but not quite the whole navigation cluster just a couple extras off to the side.
Can the FC660M even be had in green? I guess I should google that ... sounds intriguing, actually.

Thanks, The keyboard you linked is the size i want. This is my "wishlist" of features:
- 70% (must have individual function keys)
- corded
- non-backlit (or the option to turn it of)
- mx green keyes
- ISO layout
In addition I am looking for mx lock keys(Seems to be very dificult).
EDIT: added ISO layout to the list
-
You want all that stock or are you willing to assemble it. If you need that stock, you're screwed.

Now why did SpamRay do that? How many keyboards does he have? :D

I Want it stock, but if it is not possible then I have to assemble it. I also have an 3d printer available if it is a keyboard that requires that.

75% boards are generally pretty hard to find, and with Greens probably even harder. I would look for something with the mindset that I'd have to, in the very least, end up putting in my own Green switches.
You can pre-order the KBT RACE 2 for $135 if you so desire, I can't think of any other 75% boards off the top of my head.

Edit: Oh, how could I forget, have you looked into Keycool yet?

Thanks for the link. Forgot to mention that i want ISO layout. I have looked into keycool but i couldnt find a keyboard in the right size with ISO layout.

I have one for sale at the moment. But I will probably send it to someone to have then switched with Clears, my favourite switch.

I Found out that what i whant is a 70% size keyboard. That means that a keyboard without a row of individual function keys is not an option( I know i first asked for 65% size). Thanks for the offer.
