Which Of These 3 Brand Makes The Best Mechanical Keyboards?

Sep 21, 2018

Everyone shits on Corsair, and I'll level in that I'm sure there are people with needs that corsair does not fullfill, but I'll say it a million times over, I absolutely love my CORSAIR Vengeance K65 Compact Mechanical Keyboard and would recomend it to anyone who asks. Its everything that "most" people need out of a mechanical keyboard unless you want to go above and beyond and make keyboards a hobby. Which is ok and I would never sit here and tell you you're wrong. But by-and-large, my k65 is incredible and I likely wont replace it for years. I dont care much for back lit RGB, this gave me an option for a clean, stainless steel look without all the color. I got the mechanical switches I was looking for, I can replace the keycaps (with the exception of the bottom row being a bit non-standard in size). Its responsive and has provided me zero issues in the howevermany years i've had it. Its heavy weight and well built. I dont care to build my own, I dont care to program or soder a board, I dont care to have a display case of fancy keyboards. Its just not what I wanted or need.
As for razor, I've seen too many peers spend a premium for a name and a logo just for their product to die for one reason or another. Whether its their keyboard, a controller or what have you, You're paying for their name to be on your item rather than build quality. Some people might share the same for Corsair, but I've yet to see any of my, or my peers' corsair products cause any issues. This is anecdotal so take that with a grain of salt. I cant really speak on behalf of Logitech's mech keyboards, I dont have or know anyone who has one, but I know their other products are well reviewed and mostly well made, albeit sometimes from lower cost materials.
I think ultimately, all that really matters is what you're looking for in a keyboard. Do you want to make it a hobby and learn how to program and soder a board? do you want to have a collection of keyboard with different switches and different boards for different occasions? If the answer is yes, you could probably do a bit more research and get something that provides you with your needs rather than whats available on this list. If the answer is no - and you're just interested in a "nicer than your average" keyboard - Do a little research, figure out which switches you like best and that feel good under your fingers, buy a keyboard with the switches you like, and enjoy spending waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy more money on fancy artisan keycaps then the keyboard itself.

PuppetThe thing is you can buy a Ducky One TKL RGB that has practically all the same features, but it an overall superior quality, for around the same price (if not cheaper) than the K65
