Need recommendations for my first Mechincal Keyboard

[sanz1112]

Looking at the MKs but most I found are 75%. I want a full size one. This is going to be my first mechanical keyboard so I don't have any idea about the switches.
White color is preferred as my whole build is white themed.

Check out meckeys.com. Also I would advise against getting a white one, they tend to lose their color very soon.

I bought a rk84 as my first mk keyboard more than 2 yrs ago…battery life is amazing and looks minimal. Serving my purpose well…

in recent times i have seen a lot of traction for mk keyboards and accessories in india. Lot of new sites have come up and they have brought along some great brands at affordable prices…

Budget

Budget is around 5k which I can extend max to 7k

Wired or wireless

I prefer wired because of low latency but wireless is also fine

I've also been using the 84 for the last two years. It has been serving me well.

RK100 may be worth considering.

Thanks. Which would you recommend round 5k?

Thanks. Which would you recommend round 5k?

If looking at 75%, you can consider the RK84, or RK100 if you want the number pad. Other members may have better suggestions.

I use numkey a lot, so i'll look into the RK100.

I have two royal kludge keyboards initially they were great, after two year in both keyboards the key press lag badly in wireless mode . So i won't recommend them long term. I have rk96 and rk84 in both , i am facing the problems listed in the below reddit post.

I use a Akko 5098B for the office with Piano switches and its really nice. Its almost all white. Its not exactly full size, but is close.

I have a Keychron K10 Pro for gaming with brown switches. Its quite nice too, but for the typing the Akko is a tad more satisfying. While its a full size keyboard, it isn't available in white. I settled for the Akko, because its the closest I could find in white, and close to full size, but it worked out well in the end.

Word of caution though, the keys began getting dirty quite quickly.

How do you clean your keyboard? Do you remove the keycaps?

Go for AULA F75 variations, the key sounds are good on it, and obv looks and feel are premium. Plus the knob for sound looks good too. If you are into gaming, then go for Razer black widow.
