Mechanical 108 keys keyboard with BL and cherry for about 100$

[MarLabs]

Hi. I type a lot in work and I need a good keyboard, preferably with loud, juicy feedback and backlight.
I live in Poland so I will probably order from amazon.de so availability is a plus. I like backlight.

you have to identify which keys you want.

The most common cherry keys for typewriting are the blues, they're clicky and have feedback, there's a plethora of products with these keys.

The layout you want will restrict the choice a bit, with 108 keys do you mean ISO (international standard) or ANSI (US standard)?

if you want ISO there really is a huge choice.

Have a read of the reviews here at PCMAG .... http://www.pcmag.com/roundup/347603/the-best-mechanical-keyboards

Then you try and decide which is best for you. My own preference is to go into a local store, like Staples or Best Buy or Microcenter and actually see if I like the physical look and feel. My current desktop (Dell Dimension 8200 P4 from 2001) came with a nice Dell Keyboard (still using it fine)

It makes no difference whether it's ANSO or ISO. I just want it to have numpad (108 keys?). I think Blue ones will be good. I would just like to be able to remove them. And one more thing. Is it worth to skimp additional money and go for something for bout 100$ or should I go for 150?

Thing is it might be hard to touch them here in Poland but will definitely try Thank you very much for the link, I will be reading reviews ASAP.

If you never had a mechanical keyboard before, you should buy a switch tester. Here is a good Wiki that cover boards: They have a good Wiki there.

I'm starting to think about shelling out more cash and getting something with the ability to change switches. Anyway as a "as is" keyboard my front runner for now is G610 Blue. I had the pleasure to type on blue switches last evening and I absolutely LOVE them. Would like to try out the rest tho. Also Keyboard with replaceable switches would be perfect cause I would be able to change only the keys I need faster reaction on If I were ever to buy a Gaming PC.

Some people game on Cherry Blues just fine, while others prefer browns or even clears. You may want to consider using O-rings as well.

If you want something almost like a typewriter , the AZIO MK retro may be up your alley:
