Picked this up and for $20 this is a insane value keyboard. Switches alone is worth the whole keyboard price. My rainy75 stabs started ticking and wanted to try a new keyboard with different switches. Epomaker hate or not I'm totally impressed for $20. Actually I like it more than my Nuphy Halo65.
I think I have you beat: - Kick 75 low & high profile - Halo 65 black & white - Halo 75 v2 blue - Halo 96 v2 black & white - Air 60 v2 black & white - Air 75 v2 white - Air 75 v3 white That’s just the Nuphy boards… 😵💫😓
Yeah the place can be a bit overwhelming, but they have a lot of stuff and pretty often do discounts too. but they have a lot of actual brands available (easier to compare) but its pretty hard to buy a bad keyboard nowadays, just focus on the type of switch used. And what size ofcourse. i use the Nuphy halo 65 he (hall effect switches) and its a amazing keyboard. but it will be on the higher limit of your budget. The Aula F65 pro is a amazing keyboard as well for a lot less money . but ofcourse not a hall effect switch in it
Definitely go with magnetic switch keyboard there are plenty now that are very affordable [https://www.hlplanet.com/keyboards-hall-effect-switches/](https://www.hlplanet.com/keyboards-hall-effect-switches/) I use Nuphy Halo65 HE which I got for $100 and it's great
With a hotswap board, it is fairly easy; you can change the entire keyboard in probably 15 minutes. But you have to be gentle because you can accidentally bend pins or at worse damage the PCB underneath. But I do encourage you to have a look at what's available; r/MechanicalKeyboards have a lot of examples and people who can give you advice. Not long ago, I scrapped my gaming keyboard for a Nuphy Halo V2... it's feels really good not to be held hostage by buggy gaming software anymore (at least for the keyboard. I've not found a suitable alternative for the mouse).
The best keyboard for Starcraft is Nuphy Halo. Clem and Cure use it. It's good because there are no gaps between the function keys.
I have few from keychron and nuphy - all low-profile. I use them everyday home/office/livingroom and I do not even prefer one over the other, all of those are in ANSI layout and this is my preference, got the red switches for, like how tactile those are. I also have Logi MX keys but in local layot and just because of it I do not like it, other than that it is also fine. As for connection - I have the dedicated adapter, BT and cable, depending on the setup - I see no difference in response times while typing or gaming. As for RGB - I apriciate it only in livingroom while watching movies. Oter than that I do not care, I do not look on the keyboard while typing. From wow side - nuphy is much more eye-catching, I got many positive comments about it while using in the office. If you configure something - make sure to have the shine-through key caps, the "behing keys" backlight is rubbish. For config, VIA software - whatever - I never cared about it, function lock was always there, never needed anything more. Except for nuphy v2 - I had to set it,as was F keys by default, but easily done with browser plugin and VIA software, I think it is unified. If you need macros etc - all is linux compatible (except logi - this I have no idea), As for your question: "The best Gaming Keyboard to buy for Gamers now?" I nmy opinion there is nothing like "gaming keyboard". Keyboards can be good or bad. Good keyboard is good for gaming and typing, bad is bad for everything xD
I don't think that fits in your criteria in term of switch and/or size but I had a Nuphy wireless before and it worked with no issue at all (although the battery on it isn't great, had to charge it like every week, sometimes more). I've switched to an 8bitdo keyboard now, same, works no issue out of the box but this one has a beast of a battery...I think I've charged it maybe 4 times? And I bought it in october last year.
