u/OttoCobbler · 6 pointsr/MechanicalKeyboards

The TK version is already out. It's called the MasterKeys L. I'm very surprised because I'm not sure how OP got his hands on a TKL cause I didn't think they had been released yet. TK Version

u/GaiaNyx · 6 pointsr/MechanicalKeyboards

Sounds like you're very new to the sub. The logitech products do their job, and personally their support has been amazing. But there are a few negatives that breaks the deal for the community in general here.

  1. Proprietary switches that aren't compatible to anything in the market

    The community generates insane amount of custom keycaps and switches and boards, but what Logitech offers does not fit anything that was in place already in our community.

  2. Low quality keycaps and lack of choice

    If the keycaps and switches are proprietary, the options should also be solid. The keycaps are very simply made to shine light through for the RGB, and there aren't high quality options.

  3. Switches are supposed to be tactile but they're barely tactile.
    It's up to the people who use them, but large chunk of the community do not like them, and that's after comparing numerous other switches from cherry, gateron, Kailh and etc.

    There are many other options out there that cost just as much or even less that are higher quality, like CM Masterkeys if you're looking for a full sized one.
u/KaosC57 · 5 pointsr/MechanicalKeyboards

Neither. Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L It's better than both of those boards.

u/clee290 · 5 pointsr/MechanicalKeyboards

You can check out the Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro RGB series (full-size or TKL). Most people here would recommend those over Razer/Corsair/Logitech. You can also check out keyboards by Ducky or iKBC.

u/SwimmingAshes · 5 pointsr/MechanicalKeyboards

If you want a clicky keyboard you'll want one with MX Blues or one of its many clones.

I would avoid Corsair if possible, they are quite poor value for what you get and you will have difficulty swapping the keycaps in the future due to a non-standard bottom row.

Take a look at the Cooler Master Masterkeys series of keyboards.

They are comparable to the Corsair but better built and better value and more open-ended when it comes to customization.

Just choose the layout you want (full size, TKL, etc) and choose "MX Blue (clicky)" and you're good to go.

u/DangerG · 4 pointsr/MechanicalKeyboards

Personally I would avoid Corsair if you are spending over $100 it just isn't worth the investment. Most of their keyboards also have non-standard rows so you wouldn't be able to replace the keycaps later down the road if you wanted to.

For the average gamer I recommend stuff from Coolermaster, Filco, and Ducky.

This is a good CM board that has same specs as the k95 but better build quality and cap availability.

Here is a Ducky

These are all full sized boards, but they do have smaller siblings in the same product line if you look around. The majority of us will recommend a Tenkeyless board

u/tigojones · 4 pointsr/MechanicalKeyboards

In general, Das, for some reason or another, tend to be a little high-priced for the quality of the board. They're not bad, but you can find better for simliar pricing.

That particular Das you linked to uses some off-brand switch instead of Cherry or Gateron (Cherry is the original that they all copy, Gateron makes a well respected and popular clone).

For example, this Cooler Master Masterkeys L is cheaper, uses Cherry switches and has programmable white backlighting. And this Cooler Master Masterkeys L is only a little more expensive, uses Cherry switches and has programmable RGB lighting.

And Form Factor (from your other post) describes the physical size and layout of a keyboard. Full/100% is your standard keyboard. TKL is the next step smaller, and cuts off the numberpad. 60% is when you take a TKL and chop off the Arrow/Navigation keys and the F1-12 row, leaving just the alphanumeric characters and the surrounding modifiers.

Those are about the three most common form factors, but there are others as well (40% for those looking for something really portable and compact. 65% for those who want a 60% but can't live without the arrow keys.).

u/Jack_Vettriano · 3 pointsr/buildapcsales

A Cooler Master Pro L RGB full size with Cherry browns, for $80.

As you can see, they're not really in a rush to restock

u/SwammerDo · 3 pointsr/MechanicalKeyboards

You'd probably want something like a Cooler Master Masterkeys and then buy some thick o-rings to dampen the noise and reduce key travel.

u/Ophidios · 3 pointsr/MechanicalKeyboards

Truthfully, neither.

I'd recommend the iKBC F108, the GMMK, or the Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L, if you're looking for something full-size and RGB.

u/Jax_daily_lol · 3 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Obviously there is no "best," however, if you want a full sized mech with RGB, the ducky Shine 6 is a good option. Similar price to a K70 but better build quality. The CM Masterkeys pro L is another option that is probably cheaper and still slightly better build quality. Although corsair is definitely better than the likes of Razer, it is still priced expensively because of the brand name

u/fouras · 3 pointsr/MechanicalKeyboards

MX clear switches don't support RGB lighting. You could go with browns instead which have a similar weight to blues but a less noticeable bump in the keystroke.

If that sounds ok, this is a good choice.

u/shadowstar2417 · 2 pointsr/MechanicalKeyboards

Are you sure you didn't look at the Pro L instead of the L PBT? The L PBT is $90, the Pro L is $160 and you did say under $100.

Anyway if that's too expensive, maybe the Redragon K551-N, or the EagleTec KG010. They're both $40, and they're pretty decent. Plus they have a standard layout, so you can use some of that extra money to buy a set of decent keycaps for them

u/Jolly_Green_Giant · 2 pointsr/MechanicalKeyboards

Sad to say but Razer is actually synonymous with BAD quality. They're overpriced for what they offer and they're quality control is abysmal.

With a budget of $300, you can basically get any of the prebuilt off the shelf keyboards.

What kind of size are you looking for? The keyboards are classified by the amount of keys they possess.

Let's start at the beginning. You're surely used to the fullsize keyboard with numpad and everything. Examples: CM Masterkeys Pro L or Ducky Shine 5


Do you feel like you want the numpad but want a smaller board? You can go with a TK (ten key) or a 96 key layout (these are not the same). CM Masterkeys Pro M or RS96

Do you want to drop the numpad? You'll have a huge pick from the amount of TKL (ten keyless) boards or a 75% layout (again, these are not the same). MK Disco or Ducky One

Find that you don't use the nav cluster or the function row that much? You can get a 60% or 65% keyboard. Pok3r or Leopold FC660M

Do note that any of the missing keys can be found on layers (which means you press the function key to access them, only one additional keypress for much more compactness)

You can go even smaller by dropping the number row and getting a 30% or 40% keyboard. MiniVan or Planck

Then there are the split keyboards that you can buy or build. The Mistel Barocco or the Ergodox EZ are some options if you want some

u/Mind_Killer · 2 pointsr/buildapcsales

This is a great deal, one of its better prices I can see.

This one dropped in price because the large full-size one dropped down to $120 a week ago. Both are great keyboards, but if you prefer a numpad for whatever reason you can get that one on sale, too...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D3BDN60/

Both are Cherry MX Brown, the other switches aren't on sale. For the small version, the Blue is down to $98, which is a decent low for it.

u/t4n6 · 2 pointsr/mechmarket

https://www.amazon.com/MasterKeys-Mechanical-Keyboard-Intelligent-Switches/dp/B01D3BDN60

This is a better option if you want something more easily customizable, since the Corsair doesn't have a standard bottom row.

u/Mrbrodude123 · 2 pointsr/MechanicalKeyboards

I'm a bit uneducated when it comes to keyboards. I decided on this one

u/Epicepicman · 2 pointsr/MechanicalKeyboards

The Masterkeys Pro L is on sale for $135 right now. I have a Pro S (the tenkeyless version) and it works wonderfully. If you don't care about RGB there's a cheaper one with white LEDs as well.

People on this sub tend to not recommend Corsair and Logitech boards because of their nonstandard bottom row (it's harder to get custom keycap sets for them) as well as the lighting being tied to software (which sounds good in theory, but they're usually really buggy and overly complex). If you really particularly like their features then go for it; they're certainly not bad at all.

u/Xintros · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

I would check out the monoprice keyboard - https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=13858 I don't have any experience with it personally but it's a good price. The RGB colors are not changeable and you can't do fancy lighting features (not sure if that matters to you.) It has blue and red switches available.

This Gskill might be another decent option, better options and more switch options but more expensive - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823828020&cm_re=rgb_keyboard-_-23-828-020-_-Product

The G910 has AWESOME RGB lighting - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126489&cm_re=rgb_keyboard-_-23-126-489-_-Product
the build quality is pretty plasticky and you may not like the romer G switches.

Personally I use a coolermaster masterkeys - https://www.amazon.com/MasterKeys-Mechanical-Keyboard-Intelligent-Switches/dp/B01D3BDN60
I have the ten keyless but it's a solid keyboard with nice software features, but a little pricier. You may also want to check out the Corsair keyboards in this price range.

u/olbaze · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Coolermaster Masterkeys Pro L RGB. In my opinion, it's currently the best RGB mechanical keyboard on the market.

u/Driftmaster · 2 pointsr/MechanicalKeyboards

So I want a mechanical keyboard for a mac but I don't know squat about this other than:

a. these keyboards look and feel great.
b. there are different types of switches.

Would this or this be a good beginner keyboard? Could I eventually replace the switches with these 3D-resin-coated switches that I often see posted here?

I've also seen some beautiful keyboards with wood-grain and the likes; how does one go about aquiring that?

u/sense_make · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Shipped and sold by Amazon. Also, Amazon logo on short ends.

u/ADCBot · 2 pointsr/MechanicalKeyboards

No way you can get all of that for under 100. But if you pay a little more then you can get [this](https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=13650 same one but tkl, or this which is on sale right now.

u/Manus_2 · 1 pointr/bapcsalescanada

Anyone else mange to receive one of these Cooler Master intelligent RGB mechanical keyboards from Amazon yet? I ordered one during the last sale, which for me was Aug. 12, AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T SHIPPED THE DAMN THING. What gives here? As far as I can tell, it's in stock on Amazon, but it's just not being shipped out. Is it discontinued, or what? Surely some of you guys here who participated in the sale must've gotten this keyboard by now. At least they haven't charged me, due to it not having shipped yet.

Fortunately, I managed to get Amazon to issue me a $100 credit to my account due to this absurd wait, but the keyboard itself still remains unshipped. All they could tell me, is that'll ship once it becomes available, but why exactly isn't it available in the first place? How could I have managed to place an order it if it wasn't in stock in the first place? What did I place an order for? Thin air?

I suppose my decision now is, do I continue to wait for them to ship my original order, or do I cancel it and make a new order, whether that be on Amazon or somewhere else?

As an aside, has anyone here ever waited this long for an item like this, that being electronics and such?

u/ghghghelele · 1 pointr/MechanicalKeyboards

I'm looking for a fullsized keyboard, MX brown switches or anything tactile and quiet. it needs to match my rainbow pc so I gotta have that nice rgb not just single colour backlight, good software support is a bonus. I'd like a simple and compact design if possible. my budget is $150 CAD or $120 USD as I am buying from canada, I'll also take suggestions for keyboards under 60$ CAD.


I've already ordered a Masterkeys Pro L 5 days ago when it was out of stock and going for $143 but I don't know when they'll be back. should I wait a bit more or get something else?

u/Slagathor1650 · 1 pointr/bapcsalescanada

Gotta make sure that Amazon is selling it, otherwise it won't be on sale. Hopefully this link works

u/Qwertdd · 1 pointr/MechanicalKeyboards

Going to be buying a mechanical keyboard tonight.

This was the one i was looking at. It's a brown, it has tenkey, it looks nice. Some other people said I should go for a Corsair instead. What are some good full sized Corsair MX Browns? Or is the keyboard I picked out good?

u/a_grated_monkey · 1 pointr/MechanicalKeyboards

Is this a good board? This will be my first MK, I tried the WASD switch tester, debating between the browns and the reds. I may also customize the keycaps after having it, and someone said they were good because it's standard.

u/Worknewsacct · 1 pointr/buildapc

His current setup is strong enough that you aren't going to be able to upgrade it all that much in terms of CPU/GPU.

My recommendation would be to look at a mechanical keyboard (they're AMAZING if he's just using a normal rubber dome keyboard) or a new monitor for that price range. Those are very obvious items that generate a lot of value to the user (you type every day and always look at the monitor right!?) so it's better for gifting.

I'd look at a keyboard with Cherry MX Blue or Brown switches - they're great for typing, very tactile and responsive.

This is a fantastic new board, and saves on desk space if he doesn't use the number pad often. If he does, this is the larger version. The fancy RGB LEDs can be made to twinkle and react to typing, and can be programmed with the colors of his favorite teams and stuff. It's a neat gift.

u/noroadsleft · 1 pointr/MechanicalKeyboards

So basically fullsize with RGB? Are you buying in America? You mentioned seeing a K70 for $260, which is ridiculous for a keyboard that's overpriced at $170, and a price I've never seen for that model.

You'd lose the metal case the YOTM has, but you could go for the Cooler Master MasterKeys Pro L or the iKBC F108 RGB. Unfortunately the Ducky Shine 5 is hard to come by, because the production has shifted to the Shine 6 (which is worth considering if you can deal with waiting some more).

u/Plutus77 · 1 pointr/MechanicalKeyboards

Okay I will admit if we're going to argue semantics, then no technically I don't need RGB, but we are doing a custom room dedicated to gaming and we're doing mood lighting with LED strips and this is the only thing that will throw off the lighting since my current keyboard is RED only. I will look into the CoolerMaster Keyboard though.

I appreciate your help and sorry for being snippy. (Never thought I would say that on the internet lol)

CoolerMaster This board here. Except that godawful CM windows key haha

u/SpecCRA · 1 pointr/MechanicalKeyboards

How about a CM Storm Masterkeys? It has the RGB. It has much better stock keycaps. I don't know how the lighting programming compares to the K70, but I understand that was part of the appeal to begin with. The CM Storm board is overall better quality, more bang for buck, and has standard sized everything for you to customize if you want it. I'm sure you can program the function keys to be media keys of your choice.

u/theMCcm · 1 pointr/MechanicalKeyboards

Just to make sure I'm look at the right keyboard, this is the keyboard you were talking about originally, correct? It's $140 off of CoolerMaster's website, but off of that Amazon link, it's only $120.

The issue I'm having is finding a keypad that's customizable, uses Cherry MX Browns, and has custom RGB control. One that I've found, this, but I might as well just go with the Corsair K95 RGB Platinum as it's on sale and will be cheaper for me to get instead of two piecing the CoolerMaster and a keypad together.

u/TheAverageOne · 1 pointr/buildapcsales

Ah, you're right! Sorry for misreading. That said, for the same price you can get a Cooler Master MasterKey Pro L or an iKBC F108 for the same price or cheaper, which are RGB full size keyboards with arguably better build quality and keycaps (although the CM board does not have PBT keycaps). They also have standard keycap sizes (as opposed to the nonstandard bottom row that Corsair uses), so switching out keycaps is much easier.


They're a little more boring looking, sure, but I'd say they're a better value for their build quality and keycap compatibility alone.

Then again, if you don't really value that, and care more about the looks of the case (which I used to be a fan of myself!) and the software integration with games, I suppose there isn't anything wrong with going with the Corsair board. I can't change your mind there.

u/Crisis_Averted · 1 pointr/MechanicalKeyboards

Great info here, thanks!

>which is usually more like 50-60€ and not 80-90€

That's unfortunately how it is in Croatia. Low wages, high prices.

>Masterkeys Pro L would be a good choice

Yay I found one. It's $185-190 / 160€.

Christ, on amazon it would be only $131.86 with free shipping. But no Croatian layout.

>HyperX Alloy is alright, too, for about 80-90€

Oof, there's 15 of them on the list. From 88€ to 175€, grim. Anything particular to set them apart?

>Varmilo with Croatian caps

I go to http://en.varmilo.com and Cutomization? K, I'm registering right now.

edit: Hm don't see the Croatian layout option.
There's a $35 shipping fee if I'm right.
They ship from China, right? I'm bound to EU, otherwise I get slapped with crazy additional import fees.

Know what, fuck it. I don't need the Croatian print. If people can have all-blank keyboards, I can learn five keys. This makes me free to buy from wherever inside the EU. No idea where to start :/ Ugh I just want to buy something good and be done with it, my head is exploding.

u/Osuets · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I am a fan of this keyboard. I have the tenkeyless version and really like it. The cherry browns are a great choice.

The strafe really isn't a bad choice either

u/vineCorrupt · 1 pointr/MechanicalKeyboards

It's not a good choice. Mainly because you'll be stuck with Romer-G which are poop.

u/ahmedlotfy053 · 1 pointr/MechanicalKeyboards

hi guys, I want to buy my first mechanical keyboard between 100$ and 150$, I look everywhere for the reviews, and I have got really confused.

so after a long search, I came to a choice which I'm not sure whether it's the best or not:

-Cooler Master MasterKeys Pro L RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Cherry MX Brown

https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-MasterKeys-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B01D3BDN60/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1542758882&sr=8-1&keywords=masterkeys+pro+l

and iKBC PBT Backlit Doubleshot Mechanical Keyboard Keycap for it

https://www.amazon.com/Vortex-Backlit-Double-Shot-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B0779TFYQS

will that combination be any good? any other recommendations are welcomed, I will use this keyboard for both gaming and typing(writing codes).

I saw k70, mk750 and HyperX Alloy Elite, but I read mixed opinions, so I can't decide at all.

please note that I can only order from Amazon, thanks.

u/NaughtyTechie · 1 pointr/hardwareswap

If you could do a better price on that, I may be interested. I can get a brand new one for 140

u/hurrimmanobody · 1 pointr/MechanicalKeyboards

I'm having difficulty choosing my first mechanical keyboard. I was set on getting Corsair but now I'm back and forth between a couple at the moment, but still considering/open to some others. Using with a Mac but building my PC soon (just FYI).

I understand the dislike of Corsair and Razer due to the non-standard bottom row. However, I do like the dedicated media keys and the use of software to control the RGB is great, but suppose they aren't necessary.

Ideally, I would like an RGB keyboard and think I'm settled on brown switches. Media keys could be with a function key and not dedicated. And still kind of not sure about needing a full sized keyboard, but thinking I do want to have the arrow keys which is why I chose the MK Disco and iKBC.

u/Doctor_Sturgeon · 1 pointr/buildapc

I apologize. Let me do my best to break it down clearly for you here. Because it's a lot of stuff I was confused too, so I made a document that I hope clearly details my build and the associated costs. For the sake of this, I'm excluding peripherals, because I can't buy them from Memory Express anyways. If you're interested in what I've chosen I can link those too.

So, to begin, ME is holding on to their last 1060 for me, if I do my full system build with them (due to miners, they won't sell it to me alone). As a result, I can price match any of my items with them -- including the video card (of course, I'll be hard-pressed to find the GPU for less than they're listing it for). That's why I listed PCPP -- according to the associate I spoke with, they're willing to price match with any of the sites on there, so long as they have the GPU in stock. This is the most up-to-date build I have -- I've for now excluded the peripherals and the RAM.

****

The CPU is the same as before:

Intel Core i3 8100 3.6Ghz, 6mb

Price Match w/ Vuugo @ $147.25

https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX68268

**

The motherboard I think I managed to get the same one from a different ME, and it's being transferred to my local one.

MSI Z370-A Pro

Price Match w/ Newegg @ $149.99

https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX68590

****

The RAM I'm still iffy about. The one I have on the build right now is a Kingston 2x4 GB for $125. I wasn't given a product number and forgot to ask, but through some digging on their website, I found this and I think it's that one because the price is the same (it's the only one at exactly that price). If not, they have it in stock and I can switch it out for this one.

As far as I can tell, it's identical to the one you linked. What do you mean by expandability? As far as I can tell, my motherboard has 4 memory slots. Can I not just add more RAM? Unless I need to use those to connect stuff like my HDD and SSD, but I thought those used PCI-e slots.

If 8 gb will do me fine then I'm happy, I just don't want to have to upgrade any time soon. The 16gb version of the same one is less than $100 more so it's something I'll have to consider. If it was you, what would you do? The choices:

Kingston HyperX Fury 2x4 GB

Price Match w/ PC-Canada @ $117.99

https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX64812

OR

Kingston HyperX Fury 2x8GB

Price Match w/ Vuugo @ $218.50

https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX66968


**

From what I could tell, ME had the best price on my SSD.

Samsung 850 Evo SSD 500GB

Memory Express @ $179

https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX55510

I think I've decided on 500GB. More storage is always better, and again, I don't want to have to switch, transfer, or upgrade later. I aim to put only my OS and most of my games on there, so it will be dedicated to that.

The HDD I went for 2TB. It's a $20 difference from 1TB so I figured the same as above.

Seagate 2TB BarraCuda HD Sata III w/ 64 M Cache

Price Match w/ ShopRBC @ $72.25

The GPU I had to change from EVGA, because ME doesn't have that one in stock anywhere. This one, according to the salesperson and the Internet, has two fans and a higher speed. I figured that would end up being better anyways, but again, let me know if I'm causing a problem for myself here.

Asus GTX 1060 3GB

Price Match w/ PC-Canada @ $364.99

The case I had to switch a bit to get one they had in stock. It's effectively the same as far as I can tell.

IN WIN G7 ATX Mid Tower Case, Black

Memory Express @ $59.99

https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX52221




Same with the PSU. Think I used the filter to grab this one, sorted by Memory Express.

Corsair TXM Gold 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

Price Match w/ PC-Canada @ $94.99

The monitor they have in stock. I was looking to get a cheaper one at about 120Hz but apparently nobody has those.

ACER GN246HL 24in Full HD 144Hz LCD LED

Price Match w/ Amazon.ca @ $249.99

https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX64422



So the total price of all of the above comes to:

$1446,44 if I choose to go with 8 GB of RAM, OR

$1546,95 if I choose to go with 16 GB of RAM.

Prices may fluctuate a bit depending on the prices I'm matching with (I'll review as I get closer to picking up the parts) and tax etc.

I hope that was enough. Please let me know if there's any more info you need. Sorry for the late response by the way, trying to get some homework done at the same time, haha.

Once more, thank you for your help. You've gone above and beyond what anyone would have asked of you, and I appreciate your help very very much. This kind of thing is why I love Reddit.

Here.

Yeah, I'm not fond on the keycaps on the STRAFE and now the ones on the newer K70.


The CM board is generally better in every single way, has a standard bottom row, non-'tacky' looking keycaps (also seemingly better quality keycaps), has a removable cable alongside the ability to alter lighting without needing the software. Corsair's software from what I've seen either is awkward to use or it's just unstable, on occasion it locks up on me and doesn't detect my mouse, then I have to relaunch it and wait a good ~2 minutes for it to open until it actually works.

Well the main differences are

| Magicforce | Masterkeys
---|---|---
Switch | Gateron | Cherry
Lighting | White | RGB
Media keys | Dedicated | With Fn modifier
Cable | Non-removable | Removable
Macro keys | With Fn | 4x dedicated
Software | No | Yes
Price | $69.99 | $87.21

I have no idea what kind of switch you want, but I compared browns because I didn't see the magicforce 108 with a different switch option. I also don't know if the masterkeys rebate will work for you if you're in Canada or even if the pricing is the same so that's something you'll have to look up.

Personally I would purchase the masterkeys, but that's mostly because I have a Pro S and I've been really happy with it.

For you, you'll have to see if any of the main differences are selling points for you. If anyone sees any differences I missed please comment.

Then get a MasterKeys Pro L, it fits all your requirements and has a standard bottom row, and has proper RGB lighting, unlike the K70.

u/DrCraigSmash · 1 pointr/buildapc

I recommend going on this site to look at quality mechanical keyboards. Cherry MX switches are the way to go for entry to the mechanical keyboard masterrace. Might as well start quality as your build suggests.

I personally have the Cooler Master Masterykeys Pro L with Cherry MX Brown switches and it's such a quality keyboard. I recommend it of course.

Your build is awesome by the way
