Title: Want to help me find my next keyboard?
Post by: shut up on Tue, 28 October 2014, 17:10:48: Hey guys, I'm looking into replacing my last rubber dome keyboard that I've got left (Alienware Tactx) and with the Model M still undergoing refurbishment, wanted to see if anybody has any ideas for something that would work well according to my wants. I've got a short list of things I'm looking for, and would be happy to hear from this community :D If you've got any criticisms, or anything about my list just let me know!

1. Needs to be quieter than MX Blue switches.
2. Preferably backlit, it doesn't have to be. But it would be a big plus.
3. Anywhere up to $150 is the budget.
4. Needs to be a full sized keyboard.
5. No "House" brands please, and something that'll last for ages.

Again, thanks for the advice!

+1. Or at least the 3, 4 is not released yet AFAIK. Full size, backlit, quality, right around the top of the budget figure.
