    Looking For a New Keyboard

    Hey Everyone.

    Not sure exactly where this belongs as haven't really seen any posts about peripherals?

    I've got a Logitech G413 with Romer G switches and, for the most part, love it. However there is a know problem with the space bar, causing it to double or triple register presses. Already returned one board and the replacement had the same issues. For years I decided to grin and bear it, as it mostly didn't have much of an impact. But now that we are all spending our days at home, it's become totally tedious to re read everything and fix the double spaces (there are probably multiple examples just in this post).

    Any recommendations from people for a fairly priced mechanical keyboard? Preferably tenkeyless. Been looking at the possibility of a refurbished Corsair K63, which comes in at 45 quid on scan.

    I tend to avoid Romer G mechanical switches as they have a history of the reliability problems you have experienced. Cherry tend to be the best,especially the Japanese made Cherry mechanical switches.

    Whatever I buy will definitely have Cherry switches, most likely reds although I don't mind browns. Is there any way to know which consumer boards have the Japanese made switches? I honestly don't want to spend the money required to build my own.

    I too am looking at the refurb K63 - anyone had any experience with the state of the refurb units?
