Full Sized Keyboard

Switches: Outemu

Keycaps: Either Double-Shot ABS or Laser Etched ABS

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: Sorta RGB.

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: According to the description, there are different presets for the lighting, so I would assume that this keyboard has RGB, and is not just a rainbow board with different colored LEDs like some of the cheap ones are.

Switches: Outemu

Keycaps: Double-Shot ABS

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None-Backlit-Rainbow-RGB

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: There are four models, the only differences are backlighting and price. Nonbacklit ($35), Backlit ($37), Rainbow ($40), and RGB ($45)

Backlighting/RGB: None-Backlit-Rainbow-RGB

Detachable Cable: No

There are also silver models available as well with the same prices.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Likely Pad Printed ABS

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: This is probably about the cheapest option for a full sized keyboard with Cherry MX switches. I would recommend buying aftermarket keycaps.

Switches: Outemu

Keycaps: Laser Etched ABS

Case Material: Steel Plate, has some sort of acrylic/plastic used with the underglow.

Backlighting/RGB: Backlighting and Underglow.

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: Looking at this board, I was very impressed for the price point. Although I have not tried the board myself, this is definitely something I will be recommending in the future.

It may be a promotion, but it appears that this keyboard comes with a mouse. I doubt the mouse is anything too special, but if you don't have a mouse, that would sure be a perk.

There is an RGB model as well for $60.

Switches: Outemu

Keycaps: Double-Shot ABS

Case Material: Plastic with a metal plate

Backlighting/RGB: RGB

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: Make sure to look into the switches for yourself before purchasing this. It almost appears that they began making their own switches but I have not confirmed this. If not, they are likely Outemu.

Switches: Kailh

Case Material: Appears to have an aluminum plate with some sort of acrylic or some other type of plastic midlayer for the underglow.

Backlighting/RGB: RGB and Underglow

Switches: Kailh ML

Keycaps: Laser-Etched ABS

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: RGB

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: The switches it uses are Kailh ML switches, which are low profile switches. Essentially think about a laptop keyswitch, except that they are mechanical. Note that with that kind of switch there probably aren't too many keycap options. Definitely not anywhere near as many as there would be with the standard switches.

Switches: Kailh

Keycaps: Laser Etched ABS

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None (Has yellow legends and a yellow plate so it appears backlit)

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: Looks to be a pretty sturdy board for $90.

Other Notes: A pretty decent option if you're looking to get a professional looking board.

Backlighting/RGB: None

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: Pretty nice keyboard for the price, if you are looking for a professional looking board at a decent price, this would be a great option.

Note that this keyboard has 108 keys rather than 104, so make sure that whatever keycap set you purchase later on has all 108 keys (Look at the top right media keys)

Switches: KBT

Keycaps: Laser Etched ABS with clear legends

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: Backlit

Detachable Cable: No?

Other Notes: Note that this keyboard has 108 keys rather than 104, so make sure that whatever keycap set you purchase later on has all 108 keys (Look at the top right media keys)

Switches: Kailh

Keycaps: Double-Shot ABS

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: RGB

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: This is a solid option for the price range with RGB.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Double-Shot PBT

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: These keyboards are often recommended. Ducky is well known for making quality products.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Depends on model, this one is Double-Shot PBT

Case Material: Aluminum and acrylic or some type of plastic similar to acrylic for the underglow

Backlighting/RGB: Backlighting and Underglow

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: Pretty nice board for the money if the lighting and clean look interest you.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Double-Shot PBT

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: There are a few different colorways available.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Double-Shot PBT

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: This layout is known as the 1800 layout. The layout keeps the numpad, and keeps most of the keys from the navigation cluster. This layout is a great option for individuals that use a numpad, but want something more compact.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Dye Sublimated PBT

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: A great stock option. There wouldn't be any need to upgrade things like keycaps on this board which can help save money in the long run. It may even keep you from falling into the mechanicalkeyboard rabbit hole, since customizing is generally where it all starts.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Doubleshot-PBT

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: Backlit

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: Would be a fairly nice option, but wouldn't be my first pick at $130.

Switches: Matias Alps

Keycaps: Laser Etched ABS

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: This keyboard uses Alps switches, I recommend you research them before you buy this keyboard. A lot of people enjoy Alps switches, but they are not for everyone. They are mechanical though, unlike Topre.

Note that this keyboard has 108 keys rather than 104, so make sure that whatever keycap set you purchase later on has all 108 keys (Look at the top right media keys) And also, being Alps, this keyboard is not compatible with standard keycaps. You will need to find Alps keycaps if you wish to change the keycaps on this board.

Switches: Topre

Keycaps: Laser Etched ABS

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: This keyboard along with some others use Topre switches, and that is the general reason for the price tag. These switches are technically not mechanical, and are essentially very premium rubber dome switches. Don't let that scare you off though, the keyswitches are very pleasant to type on for most. They are not for everyone though. Find more information on Topre switches here: https://deskthority.net/wiki/Topre_switch

This keyboards use genuine Topre switches, but similar to the Plum keyboards, this is a budget option, and is not considered as quality as options like the Realforce boards, Leopold boards, or the HHKB.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Double-Shot PBT

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: RGB

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: This keyboard is similar to the Shine 6, however I believe that it is lacking the software that comes with the Shine 6, so keep that in mind. The RGB lighting will have to be adjusted manually. Otherwise, this is a pretty decent option if you'd like to save a little bit of money compared to the Shine 6.

Note that this keyboard has 108 keys rather than 104, so make sure that whatever keycap set you purchase later on has all 108 keys (Look at the top right media keys)

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Pad Printed ABS (Recommended Replacement)

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: The specs of this board may seem unappealing... This keyboard may be considered a little bit overpriced, but overall the built quality is pretty nice. Having the volume wheel and media keys may be handy for some. I'd say this would be a decent professional looking option. I would likely recommend other options, but that doesn't mean this is a bad one.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Pad Printed ABS (Highly recommend aftermarket keycaps)

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: Even though the listed specs make this board seem unappealing, they are very high quality and sturdy. I would probably recommend other options at the $150 mark though.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Dye Sublimated PBT keycaps

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: Backlit

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: There are many different colorways available for this board. Some of them are really beautiful.

Note that this keyboard has 108 keys rather than 104, so make sure that whatever keycap set you purchase later on has all 108 keys (Look at the top right media keys)

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: PBT Double-shot

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: RGB backlighting, includes software to easily manage and customize.

Other Notes: This is often recommended to individuals looking into a full sized keyboard with RGB.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Double-Shot PBT

Case Material: Aluminum

Backlighting/RGB: RGB

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: This is a great option if you can afford it. This is probably the best bang for your buck keyboard in this price range. To have nice keycaps, Cherry MX switches, an aluminum case, and RGB for $160 is pretty amazing in my eyes.

Switches: Topre

Keycaps: Double-Shot ABS

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: RGB

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: This keyboard along with some others use Topre switches, and that is the general reason for the price tag. These switches are technically not mechanical, and are essentially very premium rubber dome switches. Don't let that scare you off though, the keyswitches are very pleasant to type on for most. They are not for everyone though.

The Realforce RGB has a few differences from regular Topre boards. The keyboard uses stems that are Cherry MX keycap compatible, so any keycaps should work. Note that this keyboard has 108 keys rather than 104, so make sure that whatever keycap set you purchase later on has all 108 keys (Look at the top right media keys)

Besides keycaps, this board also has RGB, and the ability to change the actuation point of the switches. One note I will make about this keyboard is that some individuals that have reviewed it swear that the other keyboards in the Realforce series are higher quality. Make sure to do your research if you are looking at this board.

Switches: Topre

Keycaps: Dye Sublimated PBT

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None

These switches are technically not mechanical, and are essentially very premium rubber dome switches. Don't let that scare you off though, the keyswitches are very pleasant to type on for most. They are not for everyone though.

As a side note, there is a Hi-Pro version as well. The Hi-Pro has a different keycap profile that is taller. I suggest you look into both models before you make a decision on either. The Hi-Pro is $260, where the regular 104 is $250. There are also silent versions available that will end up costing more.

Keycaps: NOT INCLUDED

Case Material: Aluminum (Stainless Steel or Brass Plate)

Backlighting/RGB: (Optional Backlighting)

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: This board can be purchased from KBDfans.cn

As a side note, there is an option to select GMK Stabilizers, these stabilizers are superior to the ones that come with the board otherwise, but are not necessary. They are something to consider though.

LED's can be added by adding LEDs to your cart and then requesting in the comments for them to install them. Also, I would recommend that you also request for them to clip and lube the stabilizers.

This keyboard will be found as a DIY kit, but in the Assembly Service section, you can pay for them to assemble it. The DIY kit will require you to solder all of the switches onto the PCB. If you do the DIY kit, make sure to purchase switches.
