Magicforce 68 vs Corsair K65
« on: Thu, 14 January 2016, 06:02:54 »
Hey guys, I am looking for a budget mechanical keyboard with linear switches.
The 2 keyboards I found at my price range are the K65 and Magicforce 68(the Coolermaster rapidfire with red switches is
too expensive for me).
Thing is the Magicforce(which is for me about 30$ cheaper) has Kailh switches while the K65(none rgb) has cherry and
that worries me, I heard people saying they were inconsistant and that the quality control isn't as good, what's your opionion
about the matter and which one would you choose given the choice?
Thanks!

The magicforce 68 doesn't have too many owners yet so you won't hear as much feedback as on the Corsair K65.

The Corsair K65 can be bought at big box stores and has a very large user base. You actually have feedback all around, good and bad.

I prefer the magicforce due to its unique layout, and inexpensive price.

If you're looking for only one keyboard to ever buy, I'd go with the Corsair out of your two options.

If you're willing to look beyond those, I would recommend CoolerMaster Quick Fire Rapid. It will be cheaper than the Corsair and better in my opinion.

I really like the color scheme and size of the magicforce but I am not sure I want my experience with mech keyboards to start with something that might not work well,
I'll just wait a while and see people's opinions about it, Thanks for the help!
