Hello all, I have been looking for the past few weeks and just can't come to a conclusion. I am in need of a new keyboard for work. Been using an old membrane keyboard because it was lying around the house and better than the standard Dell keyboard that my company provides. At home I am using a Logitech G810 and really enjoying it. So let's get to the meat of my problems. Since this is going to be a work keyboard I am not looking to spend a whole lot, would like to keep it under $70. I am a tax accountant so a 10 key is a must have, or a separate 10 key pad. Cherry MX Brown switches would be ideal since they are the quietest but still provide a tactile feedback. On my current keyboard there are volume controls and those are nice to have but not necessary. So I found a few keyboards but nothing really screams out "BUY ME!" Here is my list so far: -Mechanical Eagle -Corsair K66 -Corsair K55 this one only because it has multiple reviews saying it is a great keyboard...but not mechanical -RedDragon any variation of this one -Qisan really like this one but it is white and would prefer black so when I have clients over they don't see a dirty keyboard Are any of these reliable? Is there a better option that would meet what I am looking for? Do I need to step up my price in order to find something reliable? Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my post and for any tips/advice

mewse posted:Redragon boards are all blue switches afaik, bad for office setting. The Velocifire looks nice, like the price too. The first keyboard I looked at was the G610. Have a hard time paying $80 though, or at least justifying it to my wife. Thank you for these suggestions!

knox_harrington posted:I have a G610, it would be fine in an office as it looks pretty sober and not at all gaming-oriented. It was pretty much the cheapest one with cherry switches, it's backlit and feels good. Not sure about the other makes with off-brand switches.. I would say a G610 is a decent choice. That is one thing I have never done, although I am pretty new to mechanical keyboards. I see the appeal for having a color schemed keyboard match your computer, but why the way out there key caps? Like these ones. I don't understand how those would function. I may be going with the G610. I always come back to it, plus I like my G810. I don't know how the Romer switches differ from cherry mx though.

mewse posted:Artisan caps are loving stupid. It seems like that review pretty much bashes Romger G switches. Have Cherry MX become the standard for mechanical and anything different is taboo?

mewse posted:It was a bit easier than I expected. The solder sucker I purchased was invaluable in desoldering the stock switches. Wow, way more detail on how you did it than I was anticipating. Thanks for that! I may be doing this because I love projects and tinkering. Modded a DMG-01 a few years back and been itching to do something of the like.
