I previously bought a Logitech G512 with blue clicky swiches and found it too noisy. Also didn't like how sharp the edges were on the keys as well..

Now currently looking for keyboard with numpad and brown switches. Or some slightly less clicky blue switch. Also looking for keyboard with raised keys for easier cleaning. I don't care about RGB either as I usually just turn off the lightning on my keyboard and mouse. I also kinda like plastic keyboards, but I guess I'm open to the newer metal ones

Any recommendations would be much appreciated:)

You can check out tempest keyboards, local seller priced bout $130-140 mainly selling the 3 main cherry mx switches blue/brown/red. Their keyboard also looks pretty good. I'm not sure what their base keycaps are made off, but they do carry taihao keycaps.

do you own it? it looks like what im looking for but it's really expensive considering the lack of features.

I have tried about 10 mechanical kbs in the past and finally settled with Filco. Best so far and still works like new even after many years. You can check my thread on this.

Tempest only has TKL atm, OP needs a keyboard with numpad

Quality and feel > features. Filco is a solid choice for off-the-shelf.

Been in the keyboard hobby since '09. Moved on to customs years ago but I'd still recommend Filco over brands like Logitech, Razer, Steelseries, Coolermaster, Corsair etc.

settled on an a-bit-too-pricey Logitech G915 instead. But after using it, I can't say I regret anything

Check this out bro - I like my new pink one! ASUS ROG Strix Flare PNK LTD RGB mechanical gaming keyboard with Cherry MX switches. So cool!

So basically you just want logitech lah :s13:

only settled on the G915 after seeing it in a few review videos. it turns out a logitech keyboard also works great since I already have G hub installed for my G502 mouse:) I've also taken a liking for wireless peripherals as well

I can't recommend this keyboard enough if you don't mind splurging.

I recently bought the Razer Basilisk Ultimate mouse and was blown away by it. Easily the best mouse I’ve ever owned.

I then bought the Razer Hunthsman Elite keyboard expecting with pretty low expectation and again was very impressed by it.

Happy with my purchases and I have to say Razer have come a long way but prices are very steep!
