Jokes aside if you're not sure what you actually want, try a sample set, get an GMMK and put in there whatever you like

what kind of switvhes

THe cheaper chink boards will always have lower ends Gaterons/Kailhs and it'll likely never change

gmmk pricy, only really good if you get it for sub $80 with switches

I think that's roughly $65 with no caps or switches

What? We have 45Eurobucks sales on that thing in between

<:thenk:329322130804047872>

I got mine on black Friday for $75 with gat reds

preferably cherry reds. That's what I think my current anne pro has, and theyre pretty decent sans the coffee I've spilled on it. The Thermaltake Kalih Blue board I have from half a decade ago still works fine but I'd rather not earrape people over voice chat with my click

kalih box reds probably more up your alley

get gateron reds friend

benefits from the box shape and you're not jewing out for (the lack of) German innovation

Hm never actually heard of those (been a while since I've been in the keeb market) but they look decent

gateron red good too but the wobble bothers people

but its sooo smooth

are those strictly for byo or are there prefab keebs with them

So, reds it is. Price point?

there are prefabs but idk about fullsized prefabs

lets say that since corsairs can go for like 120 ish that's my rough budget. the CM masterkeys L has caught my eye but they dont seem to be available on amazon often

just get a ((premium)) western board for that money

I bought a cheap CM with gateron reds and its perfect

Gotta agree with win there

like ducky, Leopold, varmillo, etc

I mean if I can something similar for cheaper thats always nice

@Drunk Octopus James Donkey, dear friend

Epi, is the CK550 the one you got? thats the first result for CM gateron reds

yep

the caps are shitty ABS tho

uh maybe gmmk with some nice aftermarket caps, there are some not well known keebs but not at home rn

but standard rows so if it bothers you maybe you can buy caps for it later

like hexgears I think have some weird keyboards, I think they have a box red fullsized

or maybe the newer motospeed

I know they have a low profile kalih board

hexgears that is

the ck550 looks pretty nice. so do some of the hexgears, and both have amazon ones which would be cool, not that im against waiting 18 years for shipment. the GMMK modular one looks cool too, even though ive never fucked with non prefabs. I can always find after market caps somewhere

gotta get my cliche faux lenovo colorway

Imma cut short, if you want a quality keyboard with cherry switches look for a Leopold FC900R. They even come with non shitty PBTs

lmfao amazon has an amazonbasics mech keeb.
but i do really appreciate all the info, im gonna take some time to look into these

Watch some reviews about it, it's downright trash

How's the eachine e58? Did anything new come to the market that beats it out at the ~$100 range?
