[SOLVED] Looking for a TKL mechanical keyboard

[rohver]

I could use some advice on which keyboard suits me the best.

• The keyboard I need has to be TKL as my desk has limited space
• brown switches (or equivalent)
• under $70
• wrist rest would be cool but not a deal breaker
• no lighting preference

I could buy a wrist rest additionally if I have to. I am too used to my K70.

Thanks in advance!

So normally this would not be an issue except computer products are in short supply and going up in price and availability. I don't actually see anything with Brown switches in your price range you can get now, even the cheaper brands like Redragon. Unless you find something used, you may be looking at $100 range keyboards. https://www.amazon.com/Hexgears-Mec...s=hyperx+keyboard+brown&qid=1591229063&sr=8-3 <- box brown so keycaps not the standard plus versions, https://www.amazon.com/Fnatic-miniS...erx+keyboard+brown&qid=1591229123&sr=8-5&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/DURGOD-Mechanical-Keyboard-Switches-Interface/dp/B078H3WPHM?ref_=ast_sto_dp

Thats interesting. I guess I can settle for red switches (or equivalent) if browns are too rare for my price range. Thank you for those links. The Fnatic one is out of stock, I saw this too late, for some reason my notifications were off.

The Razer Orange keys are pretty good, similar to MX Brown but get better reviews. https://www.amazon.com/BlackWidow-L...ords=tkl+keyboard&qid=1606283334&sr=8-18&th=1

For a bit more you can get some nice keyboards with hotswap switch mounts so you can swap around the feel of the keyboard easier
