Keyboard suggestions

[ojmck22]

Im going to be in the market for a new keyboard soon. I currently have the Corsair K55. I would like to stick with Corsair so I was thinking about getting the K95, although I would like a wireless keyboard (not important but it'd be nice to have) and for it to be mechanical. I am open to other brands but not Razer or Logitech. Any suggestions appreciated!

The Corsair K70 is a favorite around here, I can personally recommend it. Guess it depends on how much you want to spend?

Ducky is without a doubt the undisputed king of keyboards but they are very pricey

There's also the SteelSeries Apex 7, but again, it's expensive but crazy good:

Apex 7

The Apex 7 keyboard has 3 available mechanical switch options: red, blue, or brown, an integrated OLEDSmart Display, and an unbreakable aircraft grade aluminum alloy frame.

The Apex Pro is also very good indeed.

i can highly recommend the last keyboard i bought and am using. Logitech G815 or if you want wireless G915. It comes in 3 variants based on how clicky you want it to be. So make sure to research that first tho

I'm a huge fan of SteelSeries, they've come a significantly long way in the last few years, really great stuff.

If you look at almost every review, they’re all like 4.9 / 5 stars. It’s a lovely piece of kit.

Just for some info on omnipoint keys on the Apex pro, it's a brand new (maybe a year old now) technology where you get the same feel as a mechanical key, but the actuation is controlled by magnets.

You can adjust the actuation distance on the fly. It's really clever.

Again, reviews are pretty unanimous:

And a bit of info on the actual omnipoint keys:

I have the K70 MK2 Rapidfire and I love it. Bought it for 25 euro brand new 😂

Corsair K65 owner here, it’s a belter and I’m very happy with it. But I’ll probably opt for a Ducky when the time comes for me to get another.

You'd be losing iCUE integration and all those fancy RGB effects that sync

Considering how much Corsair stuff I own, it’d probably be an emotionally healthy move to buy at least one peripheral from a different manufacturer, I’ve already been cheekily referred to as AgentCable due to my love of tidy wires, becoming known as AgentCorsair is a very real possibility.

And the only iCue feature I use with my keyboard is for monitoring temperatures. I could easily assign that to one of the other million Corsair devices without issue 🙂👍
