Looking for a new keyboard. Been using a Skiller mechanical gaming keyboard since 2014 but looking for something new.
Took a fancy towards membrane/thin-key/silent typing keyboards, the Skiller sometimes sounds like a typewriter and it's a little bulky. Also plan on doing a good bit of word processing. The quieter the better.
Had a look at Redragon's K502 keyboard (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Keyboard-K502-Redragon-Backlit-Illuminated/dp/B00LSGKEC4), though I'm not too sure if it'd be worth investing in. Heard complaints that it's too flimsy, has a glossy finish which brings up a lot of fingerprints (though, for me, this would be a good thing as it'd encourage me to clean my keyboard more often) and, as silly as this sounds, I'm a bit put off by the red stripe across the wrist rest. Both my PC and mouse (and the keyboard I have now) have blue LEDs, so I'm not too sure about the physical look either. Could always switch the LEDs to blue, I like that feature, but it's more so the stripe that's making me have second thoughts and its flimsiness.
Also looked at Logitech's K280e (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-K...ows/dp/B00FOJFGEM?ref_=bl_dp_s_web_1647985031), though it's not a gaming keyboard (not really a big deal to me to be honest) but looks quite sturdy.
I'm not necessarily looking to buy either of these two but they are my favourites right now, though also looking for recommendations on similar keyboards. Any would be very much appreciated, cheers.
