Hi hi, I've been using few different mechanical keyboards trhough my life but right now I'm looking for something new...
I'm looking for a keyboard:
- fullsize (ansi, I don't like iso at all)
- no backlight (I find it useless)
- clicky switches (been using cherry mx blue/green)
- similar in design to this one - https://static.techspot.com/images2/new ... mage-4.jpg
- detachable cable
- avaible in Poland (It's noice for rma in case the keyboard if faulty)
Thanks in advice for any tips and reccomendation :)

What else, Full size ANSI is the way to go. Only some freaks in the Western Part of Europe seem attracted to the ISO layout for some reason. They're the absolute minority on this planet.

It's usually for simple-folk that need to be mesmerized by lights, like brainless moths.

Best switches in the Cherry range.

Here are my favourites (which I own);

All listed from the same place I buy from regularly-

MK Typist Double Shot PBT Mechanical Keyboard https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/in ... ef=tzrr6ih Uses the best new switch currently available the Kailh Box White switches (Love them).

Ducky One Blue / Gray Dye Sub PBT Mechanical Keyboard Ducky One Blue / Gray Dye Sub PBT Mechanical Keyboard https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/in ... ail&p=3568 : Has a variety of switches for you to choose.

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/in ... ail&p=3567 This one has a different coloured keyset but it's all in Dye-sub PBT which are the very best for typing.

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/in ... ail&p=3529 Filco Majestouch 2 HAKUA Mechanical Keyboard which sets the standard for Cherry Based Switched Keyboards, nothing but the most needed keys are given. I still have a large collection of these keyboards which still work after being in storage for 10 years or more.

Leopold FC900R Two Tone White PD Double Shot PBT Mechanical Keyboard https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/in ... ail&p=3563 : First class keyboard from Leopold which this particular model uses Clear Cherry Switches (if you haven't tried it before give it a go).

If you like typing then try this keyboard that's usually mentioned here on DT, Matias FK302 Tactile Pro Mechanical Keyboard https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/in ... ail&p=3716 Uses Alps switches made by Matias himself and they do offer decent feedback when typing, so I'm not just pushing you only towards Cherry Based Keyboards here.

Here's my last pick for those who LOVE heavy keyboards; IKBC MF108 RGB LED Double Shot PBT Mechanical Keyboard.
https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/in ... ail&p=3927 I have this one in Blues, so you only get two other colours of switches being Reds and Browns with this design. Trust me, the weight of this baby can be used to crush anyone's head in within your office (if needed). The body of this keyboard is in Aluminium, with no plastic other than the keys being used.

Down side it's RGB which I always turn off and I replaced the original keys, with bought ones off MassDrop or on Mechanical Keyboards website.

No chance there, I live here in Australia and NOTHING is made here except hatred and suspicion (we lead the world in this).

I have to buy all of my Keyboards from overseas so there is no way in avoiding it. Also I may hazard to guess, that I pay more for shipping than you. Just knowing that I have to pay more for my isolation, is well worth the investment overall.

Both Leopold and Filco looks soo good, I would prefer a darker color though, like grey/black.

I have brand new unused IKBC KD104 in white with MX Blues I can sell you really cheap if you're interested. It's a very decent keyboard, especially for the price (~300 PLN, negotiable).

Mhh this IKBC looks kinda nice the only broblem is that I'd have to repaint it and change the keycaps because I don't like the idea of having a white keyboard.

czarek · 19 Jun 2018, 14:09

I also have 4 black ones but they have MX Browns...

ufoludek · 19 Jun 2018, 14:13

I'm not really a fun of mx browns (I kinda hate them xd).

I'm from Eastern EU and I'm this kind of freak. I do even like this layout that has Backwards-L Enter key.

I find it more convenient because of the amount of hits my Enter takes during my work day.

But yeah...sad truth is that we are minority
