New Keyboard from JB

Kendrite13 on 29/11/2021 - 17:41

I currently have a Logitech G810 which has begun chattering (typing keys multiple times when pressed).

I'm looking for a replacement and have $230 JB voucher I was planning on using.

There are quite a few available at this price point so was hoping for some recommendations or advice?

Requirements:
Full size
Backlit (doesn't have to be pretty - just so can see it in the dark)
Mechanical (not sure what type of switch but I don't mind a bit clicky)
Volume control would be nice

I've been scrolling back and forth here: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/collections/computers-tablets/keyb… trying to decide on one. There are a few brands I'm not familiar with like Roccat and Gtek - are they worth considering?

Is there any one or two keyboards that stand out at that price point?

Thx in advance.

    MX Keys Advanced but price-match PLE

      Another +1 for the MX Keys but it’s not a mech keyboard and I think that’s what OP is after. But give it a try in store before you rule it out!

        Ohh I didn't even realise actually! I just thought it was really well reviewed lol and based on price figured mech kb

        My bad

          Haha it’s an easy mistake! It does seem to be the OzB keyboard of choice!

          OP - If you’ve been somewhat happy with the Logitech keyboard it’s replacing, maybe look at the Logitech G512?

          It’s $99 (down from a somewhat dubious RRP of $199.95), is full size, backlit, has volume controls and comes with either GX Blue or GX Brown switches (I have no idea which is better…I’m sure someone else can chime in) - ticks all the boxes and leaves you with a nice chunk of change for something else?

            @jackary: Thanks for the recommendations. I do like the price on those - certainly not wanting to spend more than I have to. I think the brown switches would be more to my liking.

    You need to pop into a larger JB Hifi store and try the different switches as it's very very subjective. They usually have demo samples to try out.

    MX Keys are great for productivity but I will always favour Corsair's keyboards for gaming personally. K63 or K68 depending what size you want.

    K70 is on a ridiculous $120 off deal: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/corsair-gaming-k70-rgb-mk…

    Can price match with HN to get Logitech G512 for $98
    Or, look for Logitech G815.
