Best Mechanical Keyboard?

[PGen98]

What do you think is the best mechanical keyboard on the market? What about it in particular do you like?

For me I've been using a Lenovo "Black Silk" keyboard for the past 7 years, and it's been perfectly fine. It's membrane-based, so not a "true" mechanical" keyboard, but it has done its' job very well. Now that it's giving up on me, however (keys aren't working, space bar is temperamental), I've ordered a Ducky One 2 Horizon to see if it's as good as the reviews suggest. It certainly looks promising, so I'm hoping to get the same sort of life out of it! It's got Cherry MX Brown switches, no back-lighting (a positive for me, I don't like RGB on my keyboard, too distracting), and the keycaps have a VERY high rating in terms of quality, so I'm really looking forwad to giving this a try when it arrives tomorrow

How about you, what's the best mechanical keyboard you've used or would like to pick up?

Honestly, they're pretty much all the same at a function level. It really depends on what you want from your board, and a custom is usually the best route if you're willing to get your hands dirty. Also the cost factor also, you can get them under $100 to over $200

Some advice I can give is that if the company is known for mechanical keyboards is usually a good bet. I myself have a Corsair K95 Platinum and I love it. MAkes far more noise but they all do in that point of view.

There's this brand, that i don't know that if it exists elsewhere.. Redragon Kumara! it's one of the best mechanical keyboards for less than $50!

You can do hotkeys macro, it has RGB! durable and wireless.

That's cheap. I mean I paid $230 USD for my keyboard

I absolutely adore the Ducky One 2 Horizon I just bought, it's fantastic! Been using it since last night and it is absolutely incredible! Build quality is solid, keycaps are top notch and it didn't break the bank to pick it up. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for mechanical keyboards!

I've been using a corsair K70 rgb w/ cherry mx red switches for a good few years now, I'm quite satisfied with it overall. Never used any other switch types though so perhaps I'm missing out.

Is it possible to buy a silent mechanical keyboard? The noise factor is probably the only reason why I haven't purchased one for myself.

I've gotten a ducky brand one, that was awesome. However, I've come to need ergonomic keyboards and managed to find a cloudnine ergonomic keyboard.

Sucks I had to give up my other.

I got myself an Anne Pro II 60% Mech Keyboard, pretty sweet I have to say. I got mine for about $100 or so.

Nope, most are not silent series, unless you do not buy a mechanical keyboard.
