Tenho o alloy origins porém versão tkl, ele é um teclado muito bom, porém 700 reais é loucura.

Mine also started failing after a year. All the bottom row keys just started typing on their own. I was going to return the keyboard but it's a hassle getting warranty online and in our country. It turned out that it was a bad solder/Cold solder. I just tried reflowing all the bottom keys and it started working again till now.

Coming from a G213, you might like the feel of a mechanical with similar features. The [HyperX Alloy Origins Core](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=HyperX+Alloy+Origins+Core+full+size&language=en_US&tag=bestdeals202f-20&ref=as_li_ss_tl) is full-size, has good RGB, and a solid metal build. For media controls, some SteelSeries Apex models have a dedicated roller. Both are around your budget. I’d double-check the dimensions against your G213 to be sure it fits your bag.

I just got one recently and am enjoying it so far compared to my razer black widow that broke only a year and a half. The linear keys feel nice and smooth to press and arent too loud but im still getting used to not having the click and the same feedback from the razer. But doesnt have switchable keys for that longevity. For long game sessions the keys arent taxing to press at all. If getting keys you like and longevity out of a keyboard is most important to you i think getting a custom keyboard is a better fit, so if a key does die you can just switch it out. But for its price point its a pretty nice keyboard If you dont wanna deal with the hassle of getting a custom one

It should be covered by warranty then. Get it replaced, preferably by a new keyboard brand if you can. I've had nothing but trouble with razer products, even straight out the box I've had issues a couple of times. Honestly get a keyboard with hot swappable switches if you intend to use it for a long time or even build one yourself if you're interested in that. Either way you can replace switches as they fail and get switches that suit you best If you don't want that hassle I'm still using the hyper x keyboard above and enjoying it so far. The big plus for it is that it's so much easier to clean with a can of compressed air. The rgb looks better to me too if you're into that stuff. But saying that I've only had it for 6 months now so I still don't know the longevity of it yet. It seems like people are having issues after a couple years on average

Wooting 80HE has that analog input, which is neat if you want more precise control in games. But if you want something that just works and feels more traditional, the HyperX Alloy Origins is good and built well. Check out reviews for both and see which one suits your style keyboardyeti might have some useful stuff too, especially about comfort and typing feel.

This will be my second mechanical keyboard purchase after my HyperX Alloy Origins died. I’m torn between the Leopold FC750RBT and the Filco Majestouch 3 Ninja TKL(PS/2 to USB-A), but the USB type is my biggest concern. My first board was USB-C, and the port got damaged within a year or two of use. I’m really leaning toward the 750RBT, but after getting burned with my first keyboard, I want to know how durable Leopolds are long-term. I know its a silly question because USB-C is the standard now but I really dont want to replace my keyboard due to port damage
