I don't like fancy G*mer shit like leds and back lights, the closer to looking like something OEM the better. I have no experience with wireless so I guess I'd prefer wired products.

    Been thinking about it because this keyboard's getting old and it seems like the mechanical ones are low in price now? It looks like you can get one on aliexpress for like $20? Not sure if these are good or not though so that's why I'm asking.

      no experience with ali keyboards, but keep an eye on r/buildapcsales if you're in the US. snagged a mechanical keyboard for 75% off :crush:

      IDK how helpful this is, but I recently got an ali mechanical numberpad for number crunching, but I'm pleasantly surprised by it. It's got some cheap mx blue style switches, and the default caps were super cheapy but the typing experience is pretty good so far, comparable to cherries to my uncultured fingers at least.

      Don't know how long the tactile bump will last though, I got one of the kailh razer keyboards a few years back and gaming on that for 8 years has really done the tactile bumps in on the left side. probably still worth it though, off brand switches are pretty cheap and replacements can be put in pretty easy.
