PC Peripherals Buying help for Keyboard & Mouse

^what you will suggest below 3k no mechanical, normal gaming keyboard?
redragon mech, should have been clear, it's a great budget option despite company being mediocre, don't speed over 5k on their RGB boards tho.
@PHOENiX117, the Redragon ones you suggested has keys made by a Chinese company called Outemu precisely Outemu blue. The one I suggested is a full size keyboard and makes use of same Outemu blue keys. Just trying to understand the difference and how come Redragon one is better than Motospeed option? Please enlight.
there are multiple reports of Motospeed not being mechanical, I haven't used it so can't comment further, its up to you, it's a gamble.

also TVS-E gold bharat is the also an ultra solid budget option if you can live with blue keys.
 
This looks interesting for Cherry MX Blue as claimed by seller:

SHIFT FLAMER Real Mechanical Gaming Keyboard by Texet | Best Value Mechanical Keyboard on Amazon | Waterproof | 12 Multimedia Keys | 87 Keys | Anti Ghosting | 6 Colour LED Backlit with 6 LED patterns and 5 LED intensity settings https://www.amazon.in/dp/B01N7T3UP5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_4CMUybQ2XZN9Y
Thoughts?

the reviews are Fake, Its a cheap MagicForce 68 replica, the seller said MX blue format keys, i won't touch this
 
I bought an Azio MK Hue keyboard from Amazon. Have gone through several other keyboards, this features Outemu Brown switches, has superb feedback and is very responsive. It's a mechanical keyboard, and the finish is top notch compared to others in this price category. At the moment, I don't think there's a better option at the 3.5-4K price range.

I've used earlier
1) Microsoft Natural
2) MS Natural 4000 (which died some years ago), so I bought another, because I needed an ergonomic keyboard.
3) After the second one died, decided to purchase a regular keyboard because I did want a backlight, and then bought a Circle Adroit X7C. It has 7 backlight modes and is really good to type on. However it's still a membrane keyboard. The design etc is similar to the more expensive Asus and Coolermaster membrane keyboards, so no point paying additional premium for those brands (unless it's warranty you want).
4) Bought a Logitech G105, but found the keys were very firm for a membrane keyboard and finger fatigue would set in immediately. However, the backlight (only blue color) and the finish of the keyboard was flawless.
5) After doing tons of comparisons and following reviews, I was going to purchase either the Logitech G610 (Cherry MX brown) or the Logitech 810 (Romer G, full RGB), but then came across Azio.
6) This brand had a lot of positive reviews, and decided to take the plunge and bought it off Amazon (Azio MK Hue in blue color).
7) Quality, switch response, and feedback is all superb. You only get one color (white) for the backlight, but that's good enough for me. If you want to explore full RGB, the Azio MKG L80 (with Kailh browns) is available off Amazon for a reasonable price.

Many of these other keyboards feature Kailh blues, not Cherry MX blues, but I've found typing on blues has the loud click and hence have been avoiding those. The browns have an actuation point you can feel, are clicky, but not as loud as the blues. This applies to Outemu, Kailh AND the Cherry MX browns.
 
^TVS-E gold Bharat. Good option.
As per many reviews, you can't press more than 2 keys at a time. Is this true?

What if I purchase only Keyboard from Devastator II combo? As it is gaming keyboard and have lights.
Or keyboard from Asus ceburus combo?
Both prices at ₹2500?

Well my 500rs keyboard can press 5 keys at a time, its false.
 
If you're on a budget and want to get a membrane backlit keyboard only, go for the Circle mentioned above. Costs much less than either the Asus or the CM and is practically the same, except that it's got a 7 color backlight.
 
@PHOENiX117
Redragon k501 - fancy rectangle shape not suits me. Overall good
Redragon k502 - heavy typing is worst on this.
After watching YouTube reviews I decided to go with mechanical keyboards.
Redragon K551
Redragon k552
Redragon k553
All are ₹4000 below on Amazon.in
I am buying all in local shops (Lamington Road, Mumbai).
So prices will be low there.
Other than k551, k552, k553, what other best mechanical keyboard can you suggest below ₹4000.
Mouse will be between G102 and G403. I will check size and grip on shop if possible.
Suggest a good mechanical keyboard which pair nice with either g102 or g403.
Thank you.
 
okay, All my knowledge goes down to this

first head over to https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/ to gain knowledge.
This is the best keyboard in the 5K~ Range, The Legendary Anne Pro, Gateron Reds, 60% Layout, RGB leds, Optional Wireless, Completely customizable.
http://www.banggood.com/APP-Control...l-Gaming-Keyboard-p-1064055.html?rmmds=search

the best Keyboard under 5k
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Mag...lgo_pvid=b2fde949-f1db-4571-9611-61a4b96b251f
magicforce 68, Kailh red switches, Standard ANSI layout for customization, excellent build, Loved by r/mechanicalkeyboards

Now coming to India, My vote goes for this
http://www.amazon.in/Redragon-Mecha...scsubtag=3727e859-9575-47f1-bb14-b87a973f7bfc

This has Plate Mounted Switches, and build quality looks better then K552, K551 well, is K552 with a numpad.

Ok.
I am not buying online, so I never mentioned about magicforce keyboard.

I'm still confused with these 3, K551, k552 and k553.
Only K551 have numeric keypad and K552, k553 don't.
K553 is not RGB though, k551 and k552 are RGB.
Are these numeric keypad really not necessary? Because redragon didn't put those on k552 and k553. And I'm thinking of getting k551.
Any specification wise difference?
Using Keyboard for Programming and casual gaming.

After asking on reddit, some are saying, go with k552.
Of those 3 I'd go with the k552 because it is Ten Keyless, so smaller, and has more basic aesthetics. The 553 is too gamer-styled for me. And I personally don't care for LEDs. They can be fun but the novelty wears off.
On redragon site there are more models available k556, k558 etc etc.

@PHOENiX117 which is why I suggested the Azio to him. It has outstanding build quality for the price. Now, Outemu vs Kailh is a toss-up, but around the 5K range, there's the Azio with Kailh switches as well. Importing products is a hassle, just in case customs holds up the shipment. Buying locally means he gets the product faster, and avoids the importing issue.

PS : Noticed the Azio MK Hue is out of stock now. Pity, for 3.5K, there isn't much to compare in the market at present. Certainly not the gimmicky gaming font 'mechanical' or memchanical keyboards.

Edit : That Magicforce looks REALLY nice. @TigerKing you might want to consider this too http://www.amazon.in/Azio-MGK1-K-Ba...&qid=1488732285&sr=8-2&keywords=azio+keyboard

this one, it's actually a really nice find, this one got kalih browns. :)
 
^above 4k now, getting expensive.
I will check price at local store if it's getting below 4k, I will reply price here.

Think in terms of long term usability and finger comfort. IMO, nothing beats a MS Natural 4000 for typing comfort and I've had to re-learn typing on a normal keyboard again. However, having two of them die on me is an expensive proposition.
I still have the Circle Adroit keyboard - very good value for a 2.2K membrane keyboard with backlighting.
If you just want to go mechanical at a budget, the TVSE gold with Cherry blues is the option without backlight.
I would still suggest you spend a bit more for long term comfort and get a good mechanical keyboard. It's more of an investment, and something that matters for your hands in the long term.


Yeah - their slightly expensive range has Kailh browns. I find the Outemus very good too, they're responsive, have a nice tactile bump and not too clicky compared to blues. Of course, these mechanical switches all come down to personal preference. What I like about this brand is there's no hidden 'comparable to cherry' and such nonsense, they state whatever keys they're using.
 
Ok.
Now after looking every indian computer shopping site PrimeABGB, mdcomputers, theitware, itdepot etc etc and Amazon Flipkart Snapdeal ebay etc etc.
Only Amazon.in provides best price for "Redragon Keyboard ₹4000" and sadly all are available only in "Red Backlight".
Same thing for Logitech G102 and G403 mouse on Amazon.in

Also I searched everywhere locally in Lamington Road, Mumbai for Redragon Keyboard and Logitech mouse. But no Redragon Keyboards and no Logitech prodigy lineup available there (also not available in PrimeABGB Shop). I need help now.

In PrimeABGB shop, only HyperX Cloud Stinger Headphone available. Also no QcK mousepad available in shop and I can't find it locally in Lamington Road.

Need big help. Anyone working with PrimeABGB or representative or staying nearby or purchased from that shop.
 
^ Do NOT buy a gaming headphone. Better to go for a Sennheiser, Audio Technica or a Beyerdynamic for the price you're paying.
Regarding the keyboard, why are you bent on purchasing it locally? What's the issue with online purchases? In fact, purchasing online is much better and easier.

Stinger - ₹3300. I watched on YouTube where all these headphones, same priced, compared and overall this one is good. I'm not sure about warranty with keyboard mouse for online purchase "Amazon Global" and all.
Mousepad can be purchased online.
