Hi Guys,

Thinking of buying a Mechanical keyboard as my Logitech MK200 is stopping to respond.
As I haven't used Mechanical keyboards before, don't want to buy any high priced premium ones.
Just want an entry level Backlit Mechanical keyboard under 2500 INR or 3K max.

Some items I viewed are as

Max Plus | Keyboard | Premium Mechanical | Zebronics - Always Ahead
Redgear Invador MK881 Mechanical Keyboard (Black) from Amazon.in

Please suggest me some ideas.
Thanks in advance.

Congrats :) How much is the prize?
Thanks. Price is 3K. But there was lightning deal in Amazon for this with Rs. 100 less. However, I paid extra 50 for one day delivery. So totally Rs. 2950

Can't we change the effects?
Actually we can. There are some 6 predefined effects and three extra custom modes where we can set our desired keys to glow.
