Looking for new keyboard with more durable Arrow keys

[Merc]

I play racing and driving games and I find after a while of using the Arrow keys, the left arrow key becomes harder to press down due to me pressing it constantly on the bottom right corner of it rather than the centre. I have been using the Logitech Deluxe 250 but they don't seemto make them anymore unfortunately. Because I have this probelm I wonder if it is worth buying a more expensive keybaord. I want one with the same buttons but more durable.

Yeah its a $10 keyboard what did you expect? What is your budget for getting a new one?

Well the last one lasted me about a year which is great considering how much I use it, I would say £130 maximum, but I am sure up to £100 is perfectly fine?

I have a Razer Blackwidow Chroma and I have over 12k hours of gametime on it and it still feels like new, no imperfections or stiff keys. BTW Ik it's 12k hours as that's how many hours I have on my steam account.

Isn't that the one with no keypad?

Depends which model you get. You can get one with or without a keypad, I personally do have one.

Okay. I will have a look into it, how about attachable wrist rest? like the V2.

[Merc]

Well it seems that the V1 comes without any rest and it looks like it's built with too much spasce taken up so I can't use a rest with it.

Try Logitech G610/G810 with your own wrist rest. They are fairly compact full sized mechanical keyboards and made for gaming. There are also Corsair K70 but if you don't like LED basically go with G610. Less intrusive lights how you can turn off and with great quality construct at decent price.

G910 comes with its own wrist rest but I don't think you need to spend that much.

Looking at the cosair ones as the Logitech reviews say that they have mushy keys, I want a keyboard with keys that are not mushy/wobbly when you press them.

Get a "Corsair Gaming K70 LUX RGB - Cherry MX Brown" mechanical keyboard.

In the little bag, you will get grip "WASD" keys to swap in too.

This is a seriously strong build (aircraft-grade anodized brushed aluminum frame), which is also easy to clean (just tilt to one side). It has all the features you want for gaming purposes as well as music control. Lighting is just an extra bonus (I personally don't take it into consideration).

Just no macro keys... if you want macro, consider Logitech G710+ instead, but it's not as strong.

It's going to between the Strafe and the LUX but the lux is more expensive, I think due to the aluminium chasis whilst the strafe is a lot quieter without having to swap keys around. Going to the store tomorrow and hoping to be able to try them out before buying, thanks a lot guys!

It's going to between the Strafe and the LUX but the lux is more expensive for some reason whilst the strafe is a lot quieter without having to swap keys around.

K70 LUX RGB has the same controller as STRAFE RGB, but the white background on the STRAFE RGB does make it look brighter.

The main difference between the K series and STRAFE RGB is the Chassis. K series uses aluminum, while STRAFE uses plastic. LUX is the lighting effect added on top of that, keycap font, floating keys (easier to clean) and with media keys.

Hense it's a stronger build (and more expensive).

If money is an issue, consider masterkey or a ducky 5.

I decided not to spend £165 on a razer keybaord, these corsair keyboards look pretty decent, I do own razer mice and a razer aluminium mouse mat though, my last mouse lasted 6 years before it broke, not bad for the money :D

I Bought a Crosair Strafe MX Silent RGB Keyboard today, Very happy with it :D although one of the lights isn't working on one of the keys.

RMA it if it really bothers you.
