Question Best mechanical keyboard

[kisserik93]

Hi!

I am currently using an Asus Strix Tatic Pro keyboard, but I think it's time to replace it.

What do I want?

I want a keyboard with these features:

• ISO layout
• mechanical
• backlight
• num pad

I will use the keyboard for Game, Programming and Daily tasks(internet, word, etc..).

I would like to select the switches to be as quiet as possible. It would be great if the keyboard will be modular.(option to change switces)

What do you recommend?

Thank you

You will need to include your budget and preferred site for purchase. You could look for a bespoke keyboard but that will need at least 280USD worth of investment for one keyboard.

No particular brand or model to recommend, but I'd be inclined to go for another with Cherry MX key switches if you've enjoyed them so far.

The switches are readily available and can be quickly changed by anyone proficient with a soldering iron, although their expected lifetime of 50 million actuations probably means that you'll never need to change one.

I prefer the reds as fitted in my SteelSeries Apex M500 keyboard. I believe this keyboard is now discontinued or I'd highly recommend it.

I can vouch for this keyboard. It has cherry mx silent keys because I didn't want the treble from the key clicks to register on my microphone:

It's impossible to get a 100% purely silent keyboard, but the trick is not going with cherry mx blues or reds because the high pitch clicking noise is what registers on the microphone.

i had the corsair strafe rgb with mx silent , maybe the best keyboard i tested in my whole life , i already test another's keyboards from corsair and they worth the price. It have interesting features like audio visualizer using the rgb keys , you can see it here :

the body of the keyboard as far i remember is really good , the keyboard is confortable as well, i recommend it totally.
