Looking for recommendations on which new keyboard I should buy
Posted: 12 Feb 2026, 23:49
Hi, everyone!
Recently, my old keyboard has stopped working and now I'm looking to buy a new one.
I haven't been keeping up with mechanical keyboards for quite a few years so I could use some guidance here.
I'm looking for a new keyboard with the following requirements:
Emphasis primarily on durability/long-term use (i.e. something with good build quality).
When it comes to my use case, I mainly use my keyboard for general tasks like web browsing and everyday typing (e.g. forums and document editing).
While I don't play competitive video games like I used to, I do play some games casually from time to time, so anything marketed exclusively towards gaming or as a "gaming keyboard" can be ignored.
Do any keyboards with these criteria come to mind?

- Mechanical

- Full-size/TKL/≥75%
- No gaming gimmicks or other unnecessary space clutter (e.g. media control keys, macro-programmable keys, etc.)
- Budget up to $200 (can stretch a bit if worth it).
