Good mechanical backlit keyboard (UK)

[Taafe]

I'm looking for a decent mechanical keyboard for less than £120

I am from the UK so please don't suggest places like newegg -_-

I prefer a full layout keyboard (arrow keys and numpad etc) I'm not too bothered if it has macros or not as I've never actually used them

Thanks!

coolermaster- maxkeyboard- it just comes down to who got what you want for your price.. I can say this is great for me but it may suck for you

Max Keyboards are non-existant in the UK and most CM keyboards are really small or non-backlit

The razer deathstalker?

I am a big fan of Cooler Master, but when it comes to good keyboards - there is only one: Corsair K70.

The build quality and durability is outstanding. The only Corsair product that I actually like (and I don't liek Corsair at all).

I was looking at the K70, i can get it off amazon for £109 (cheaper than Scan as they charge £10 delviery)

I'm gonna get it, blue switches 😀

The Ducky Shine Zero, and the Ducky Shine 3?
I have a Shine 3 and love it. You can get them in any backlight colour and switch type.

Decided to go with the CM Quickfire Ultimate, it's £30 cheaper and has all I need 😀

Again, Ducky keyboards are pretty much non-existant in the UK

So I was looking at the CM Storm Trigger Z, what do you think?

 

[junkeymonkey]

in the end I decided to go with the K70 Brown MX

 

[junkeymonkey]

The brown switches are a bit noisy. If you dont mind the nise, and you want a strong feedback from the keyboard - it is a way to go. If you would preffer more "soft"buttons and lower noise, go with the red switches. In the end - it is what you seek and deem needed.

I use MX Blues for gaming and have no regrets. The browns aren't noisy. 😀

I've tried Red switches before and to be honest they're far too sensitive for my liking, I like browns, blues and greens I'm actually quite fond of the noise, it lets me know that they key has been pressed as I'm a touch typist
