In search of a good mechanical keyboard!

[hwn]

Hi guys, i search a good mechanical keyboard for gaming and typing purposes!
So can you find me a good one?
I have 200$ of budget, rgb, low profile, tactile and clicky. ( I mean no Razer ).

It's hard to recommend an exact model based on your post, e.g., "tactile and clicky" is a bit vague. This question gets asked a lot, and my stock answer is to do a bit of reading about the different flavors of Cherry MX keys, for example, because each type has a different strength/weakness and only you can ascertain which type will hit your "sweet spot." Doing this before looking at specific models will work much to your benefit, and really raise the chances that you end up with something that satisfies you (even more important when you're spending north of a hundred bucks, no?)

Here are the 2 very informative stock links I refer people to in order to launch their search:

Once you know what you like you can ask for specific recos.

I believe those are made by Omron, so I'd assume they're good, but personally I don't know much about them otherwise.

EDIT: Found this, from a few years back: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/logitech-g910-orion-spark-romer-g,28101.html
I'm sure you can find more about them if you search, if that's what you're interested in. Most of my knowledge centers around the Cherry keys.

Best option might be to order a cherry MX sample, something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Keyboard-Cherry-Switch-Sampler-Tester/dp/B00UHVFMKA to see which key you like the feel and sound of, once you know which you'd like, I'd recommend a Corsair keyboard with the keys f your choice.

Didn't know about that--that's actually a pretty cool little piece. Although honestly, I'm not sure how much you can learn from just pressing one key!

Well it will let you feel and hear the difference between the various tactile bumps and clicks the various keys offer, personally I just went with red as I didn't want any of the tactile bumps or clicks, the other option would be to go into a store and have a play with the various key types, if they have a decent selection, but I figure if your willing to drop 200 bucks on a keyboard, a tenner to check to see if you like a key type first us worth it.

Yeah, I suppose it'd tell you a little bit. But personally, I'd like to knock out a sentence or two with both hands to get a true feel. OTOH, most stores really don't have a good selection of mechanical boards out on display...which is why I suggest to most people that they at least read up on the different "colors" before plunking down money on an online order.

if you want tactile and clicky, go with cherry mx blue switches. corsair k70 is a nice keyboard.

[oobymach]

+1 for corsair K70, I've got 2 now one rgb one red led both with cherry red switches and I would recommend them

Sounds you're looking for a blue switch, there are a couple of "real" low-profile mech switches out now - the Havit HV-KB395L[www.amazon.com] and the Tesoro Gram Spectrum[www.amazon.com] uses them. I think they are both made by Kailh. Unsure of the difference between the two, Tesoro has an exclusive design (all the rage these days lol).

Is the Blackwidow Chroma V2 is good?

Tesoro is a Kailh Brown :/

Should be available in either blue or red switch on that model, I don't think the brown has a low-profile switch yet. Hopefully there is one out soon, I am dying to try it!

I would recommend the Logitech G910, yet you want tactile and clicky; two things that the G910 are not. It does have zero light bleed and fully customizable profiles per game among other features, if that would sway you.

Is there any problems with Razer Keyboards?

I saved up 200$ of cash to buy a Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2, is there any glitches or problems? Such as faulty keys or LEDs problems

I don't like Logitech, the first time i tryed Orion Spark, there was faulty keys, so would you recommend me a Razer BWC V2?
