keyboard around 80 dollars (Canadian)
« on: Thu, 02 July 2020, 15:47:49 »
I'm looking for a keyboard at 80 dollars canadian. I'm looking for brown switches if there are silver in this price range i'd be okay with that too. Im looking for something with more then 7 key roll over. not sure what to look for in terms of that. i play music rhythm games a lot.

hey there. so, i have a drevo blademaster te, which is about 69 USD right now (closer to 90 canadian). i think it's a solid tkl and has a programmable knob (teeheehee) that i use for media controls. i got gateron browns in mine, which i like, although they aren't the most tactile tactiles and can start to ping after a while (i heard lubing the springs can help with this). they are nice for typing if you can manage to touch-type lightly enough and are pretty good for gaming due to their lower actuation force.

overall, well built, has backlighting (note, it has abs keycaps, which tend to be better for it's rgb functionality, but seem to be shunned by purists) and a good weight, although not too heavy to transport comfortably. it's pretty much my daily driver due to its versatility.

there are now quite a few decent Chinese boards on sites like aliexpress or ebay that are cheaper than your 80 dollars budget, only issue is delivery time and the 7kro, most USB board have either 2 or 6kro (default USB-HID is 6kro that can then be "upgraded" to nkro by the OS) maybe something like that if you really need that much rollover:

this was after a 5 minutes search though so you may want to search a bit more, and if you are willing to use alipay aliexpress will most likely have better prices to offer
