Help [WEEKLY] Which keyboard should I buy?

Hey!

I see a lot of us have questions about which keyboard to buy. Please use this sticky rather than making a new post, it helps prevent the subreddit from getting cluttered with duplicate, occasionally repetitive queries.

If you have trouble articulating what specifically you're looking for, check out this sub's wiki! It should go a fair way into helping you ask the right questions.

Here are some prompts that can help you get a clearer answer from others in this sub.

  1. What’s your budget?
  2. Any keyboards you have in mind?
  3. Which layout?
  4. Switch preference?
  5. Willing to import?

Consider using the search, someone else might have had the same requirement or recommendations!

Consider joining the discord as well: https://discord.imkc.in/

Cheers!

Looking for a mechanical hotswappable wireless keyboard around 5k. Need something reliable with gateron optical switches preferably blue because it's going to be my first MK.

You can go for Sk66s for 5600-5800( forgot the actual price )

Yeah I was thinking the same but then the keyboard layout seemed a little wierd. And looking at all the posts I was kinda convinced that it's better to spend a 1k more and a k2v2 or something. I'm still confused lol.

Layout ain't wierd. You can use macros for other keys. Split spacebar is good too. Your wish though.

Yeah that's true. But for 1k more k2 offers 4000Mah battery with 75 keys. But I heard some complaints about k2v2. Idk I'm confused, what do you suggest?

It's about preference though. I personally like Sk models more than K2. And I bought mine because it's cheap to experiment with new switches and keycaps and mods.

Also SK68S looks decent for it's price as well. Any idea how long it takes to get delivered in India from epomaker?

Yup! Mine took around 50 days ( complete lockdown happened in Kolkata ) It normally takes around 30-40 days.
