Need a new mechanical KB. Any good guides online or may I ask for help here? in c/pcmasterrace@lemmy.world

Good to know, I guess I'll email them to make sure, thanks!

thanks, that could work! I missed that section, I went straight for the ready-to-use KB!

I worded it poorly, I meant they only have local stores in those locations. I'm wary of ordering from the USA at the moment because of the tariff war going on, wouldn't want to get caught with my pants down

Thanks, very pretty but they seem to serve only North America and a few SEA locations. Appreciated nonetheless!

I meant that I disliked the switches on the G815 (GL, clicky) that would register the input before I could feel and hear the click.

As I added at the end, I looked at many KB from Keychron but none of them seem to have backlight that shines through the keycap. I don't know how to explain, but if you look up any image of the G815 you see what I mean

I'm coming from a Logitech G815.

What I liked:

  • low profile keycaps and body;
  • aluminum body;
  • USB port to plug my mouse into it instead of into the PC;
  • backlit;

What I disliked:

  • switches (presses would register way before feedback);
  • proprietary app for macros, and other configs;

What I'm looking for:

  • mechanical tactile/clicky;
  • backlighting (through the keycap, as I need to see the keys I'm pressing);
  • smaller form factor but with tenkey;
  • shipped to and from EU;
  • wired;
  • US international layout;

What I'd like on top, but I can compromise:

  • low profile keycaps and body;
  • RGB backlighting;
  • aluminum body;
  • adult/sleek design;

Usage will be gaming (no competitive) and a lot of typing. Budget is the main problem, as I'd like to spend no more than 100-125€ but can stretch it to 150€ if it means having more criteria met.

What I looked at so far: Logitech, but the prices aren't quite there and I wasn't happy with the G815's switches; Keychron, but most of them don't seem to have lighting that goes through the keycaps?; Akko, seem to have the same "issue"; Monsgeek, seems to be more niche stuff and I can't find a small + 10key form factor.

Thanks in advance!
