Eyo,
Looking at upgrading my parents keyboard as a gift (currently using a cheap Logitech K400), and was hoping to get some opinions on a couple different boards I was looking at, or alternative recommendations all together.
Quick thing of note, I'm located in Canada. So I would prefer if I can go thru a Canadian retailer, as opposed to having to have it shipped from the States, cause of import costs.
Here's a quick spec run down for what I was looking at:
Needs to be a TKL wireless board, as they are using their computer from the couch. The K&M being held on a lapboard.
Preferably tactile switches. Alternative would be linear
Backlight would be nice, doesn't need to be anything insane as they'll prob just set it to a solid colour anyways.
Budget wise, not looking for anything too expensive. But don't need a super cheap $50 budget board either. Max I was looking at spending was $300 CAD ($237 ish USD)
Also, in regards to connectivity (RF vs BT). They do fairly casual gaming on their PC, so just wondering if could get by with BT, (since seems that would allow for more options). Or if the latency is truly horrible then would need to be looking RF I guess.
With that in mind, here's some boards I was looking at.
Royal Kludge Sink87G - budget option, but haven't heard brand name before and couldn't find a lot of third party info on the board.
Keychron K1 - Gateron Low Profile Brown - seems like a fairly decent board. Just wasn't sure about the BT connection for gaming.
Logitech G915 TKL - Tactile - this is the most I'd be willing to spend for a board. Honestly prob more expensive then what its worth. But spec wise does check off a lot of boxes for what I was needing.
Any recommendation on the following boards is appreciated, or if there's another one you want to point me off in the direction of feel free to do so. Just again please bare in mind that I'm in Canada, so to keep in mind regional pricing and availability with any recommendations.
