Need a new mechanical KB. Any good guides online or may I ask for help here? - Lemmy.World

I’m coming from a Logitech G815. What I liked: - low profile keycaps; - 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 they 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; - 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!

Check out ducky keyboards, they have a bunch of different options. When I ordered mine a couple years ago I could choose between a couple different types of switches but not sure if that’s still an option
