Have been debating a new keyboard for awhile and haven’t been able to settle on anything. I used to have Razer everything but I finally got tired of my Mamba double clicking so I got a Corsair Harpoon to try something new.

I was debating getting the Corsair k60 to keep within the Corsair line but honestly i don’t care at this point and just want a keyboard I’m going to be happy with for awhile. from everything I’ve seen I’m thinking of getting a Ducky One 2 RGB Pudding edition because I’ve always wanted pudding caps and just never actually got them.

I don’t use my computer a whole lot and when I do it’s mostly gaming. Truck driver by trade so I almost never “work” at my computer and I don’t do a whole lot of typing but I have to admit I’ve always kind of hated and struggled to type on the black widow.

looking for a 100% keyboard with RGB no wrist rest needed and idk what my budget will be maybe the $100-$150 range? less is better though since I’m a cheap bastard and the blackwidow still works perfectly.

    Another brand that offers entry level boards is Keychron. My tastes are different from yours, so I can’t speak to whether they’ll scratch the itch, but I think you should check out what they have to offer if you haven’t already.

    Difficult to answer not knowing what you like aesthetically. I would surely look at keychron.

      That’s fair. Typically stick with black everything. Have had all the RGB and have outgrown it to an extent, currently have the razer RGB mousepad and want to switch it out as well with something without lights, but I’m a finger peck typer and need the RGB on the keyboard sometimes lol. keychron was another one I saw as well so I’ll have to look some more. Thank you.

    Others have mentioned Keychron and Ducky already but I just want to mention you can get the pudding keycaps separately for cheap off AliExpress.

      That’s actually a really good idea. Just to make sure I actually like them 😂 do all keycaps fit all mechanical keyboards? Or do I have to make sure they fit the MX styled switches that razer uses?

        You have to go out of your way to find keycaps that aren’t MX-styled. But you may want to double check the layout and particularly the size of the spacebars, shifts, and the keys in the bottom row. Some gamer boards have nonstandard layouts.

          Ah ok. Well that makes things easy. I did see that about gamer boards. Will have to get one of those printer keycaps rulers that I saw and do some checking. I know mine “feels” normal but I’ve been using razer keyboards since I bought my first computer so I don’t even know 😂
