Is there such a keyboard?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a mechanical keyboard.
Wireless.
Red keys.
Media keys – the more the better.
With a number pad.

[optional] Without a palm rest or with a removable one.
[optional] No need for RGB backlight if it can cut costs.

Thanks!
Dima.

Red key caps or red sliders (i.e. Cherry MX Red)?

Assuming full-size with Cherry MX Reds: https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-Wireless ... B078218YBY
Assuming you want red key caps, https://www.amazon.com/Keycaps-Profile- ... B091CDNWBJ is pretty nice looking.

There are lots and lots of keycap sets for Cherry MX mounts. Do note that the Corsair mentioned above may have a non-standard size bottom row, which may limit your keyset choice.

If you want maximum media key possibility something like a Redragon K550 wouldn't be a bad option. Standard media keys, plus 12 programmable macro keys. Unfortunately, it's brown switches and not red. Nothing a soldering iron, patience, and a touch of self-loathing can't fix. If you're wanting red keycaps then you can buy whatever. Redragon's not trash, BTW, I have a couple of their boards and might pick up a K550 myself just to have the macro capability for work.

I've meant Red Sliders.

Thanks for the feedback so far, I'll consider it but the Corsair K63 doesn't have a number pad, and the Redragon K550 isn't wireless from what I can understand (plus the brown keys).

motoko thanks,

Just checked some of the logitech g options (such as g613) and the official site doesn't offer a red linear substitute.
Do you think the romer-g switches are okay too?

This site shows they all come with switch options? https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/innovat ... tches.html
And you can select the switch as an option on an amazon product page.

I tried the Romer switches on one of the older range G keyboards - think it was the G613. I didn't like them. They didn't seem any better than Cherry MX; maybe even worse. The keyboard as a whole felt flimsy and cheap to me, but the wireless worked well :)
