I’m looking to buy a decent keyboard - nothing ridiculous as I’m not a keyboard enthusiast, but decent enough for regular use. In particular, I’m looking for something…
- tkl or full size, nothing with a non-standard arrow key layout
- Pink or pink and white (or white but cheap enough I can buy keycaps with it)
- Quieter switches and shorter travel are perfered, but not a deal breaker
- Available in Canada
Currently I’m mostly looking at the Razer BlackWidow V3 for $122 CAD. I’m not exactly a Razor fan, but the only competitve option I found was the Ducky One 3 TKL for $171 CAD. I’m sure the quality is better, and the hotswappable switches are very nice, but it lacks the backlight and the media controls while being $50 more expensive.
Is there a better option I’m missing, or a good reason to pick one or the other?
I got an RK recently and have been very happy with it. Multiple connection options (wired, usb, or 2.4ghz), nice white and green colors, switches and caps all feel very good for such a budget model. Only thing I dislike is they made it full size but inexplicably decided no one needs an “End” key anymore. Its an Fn-layer button (on Page Down?!), along with Pause, PrtSc, and ScrLk. Admittedly I never need those other keys but I use End failry often and it’s an odd choice, especially since they kept the numpad.
