Recommendation for Keyboard replacement

5 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/recommendation-for-keyboard-replacement.211474/

Hello folks,

I currently own a Logitech G512 Carbon (GX Blue) mechanical keyboard (which was given as a replacement for my original G413, for the second time). It has worked fine for 1 year post replacement and now I face double tap issues on the 'e' and 'up arrow' key. I also started noticing that certain numbers on the numpad don't register at times.

I'm looking for a replacement mechanical keyboard under INR 6K (preferably with wrist rest and RGB lighting). The Digit Config section mentions Cooler Master CK550 V2 and I find it almost meeting my needs. I would preferably not want to purchase another Logitech keyboard with Romer G switches .

Could you please recommend any other options besides the Cooler Master CK550 V2?

Get a soldering kit and a pack of mechanical switches, replace the switches and keep using your current keyboard :wink:

I thought the same and saw videos for it too.. But there's the prospect that more keys will take that route in the future.. :chinscratch:

It would be a never ending cycle of fixing keys..

I use Asus TUF K3, has red switches, costs 5.5k. But recently have seen CM CK550 V2 full KB for as low as 6k for brown switches.

I'll say pick brown, but upto you. Logi switches are similar to brown, I think.

Closing this thread - I finally bought the CM CK550 V2 for INR 5.6K from EliteHubs.
