Cooler Master Quick Fire TK Mechanical Cherry MX Red Switch Gaming PC Keyboard.
Same was listed quite hot 2 months ago for £10 more from box uk.
Havent purchased myself as I have a corsair mechanical but this is less than half the price.

What an awful layout, I would much rather have proper arrow keys and Home/End/PgUp/PgDown buttons than some bastardised numpad.

Yep this is the same one I got from the argos misprint. They honoured it though. It was a bargain at £35, Tbh, I'd even bite at this price, superb build and quality. It's does have a number pad, combined with arrow keys - using the fn key to change.

How noisy are these?

Once it gets going, it's nearly silent.
It's mechanical, it's going to be much louder than a standard keyboard. I'd recommend getting the rubber rings to put under the keys

These are Red switches which aren't 'clicky', it's a smooth motion until it hits the base of the keyboard.
They do tend to make louder noises than typical keyboards but they're among the quieter of mechanical keyboard and I believe you can actually get dampeners to put under the keys to make them near silent. How quiet they are without the dampeners depends on how heavy you are when pressing keys.
I prefer brown switches to red. They're also smooth motion but there's a light tactile (but near silent) click feeling when you get to the point the keypress registers.

Had one of these with blue switches for a couple of years now. Paid £73 for it from eBuyer. Great little basic mechanical keyboard. Tenkeyless size with full functionality using numlock key makes it ideal for smaller desks. Highly recommended at this price. Heat added. :smiley:

I'll stick to my Dell for the moment, having not used a cherry key before I'm still hesitant as to if I'll like it and I don't want my CSGO game to suffer for my team if I don't get on with it. If it ain't broke.

Is this UK qwerty layout with the larger enter key?

Should be, the red switch I received from Argos has the full size Enter key.

There's some customer images on the Amazon listed, and by the looks of it it has full UK layout. " and @ in right places, with a little left shift + backslash and a big enter key on the right.

Picked this one up (Blues) from Argos for under £33 and wouldn't recommend it, it's just too small.

its ment to be small it allows you to have your mouse closer making it more ergonomic

how often do you use those keys while gaming?

I find it weird to be going back to keyboards I used 10 20 years ago < i have to give it a go see if it makes any difference for gaming, probably not now I'm older :smiley:

Love using compact size keyboards for gaming. Gives mouse more room to manoeuvre on lower DPIs.

I need a new keyboard.... i don't know if i can justify 60 quid on one though.....

I have the brown key version and very happy with it.

Yep, I know.
Button layout isn't great IMO. Could do with the keyboard being a bit bigger.

I bought the Element Gaming mechanical keyboard listed here
I have this keyboard and love it. The extra mouse space is great for ergonomics and aiming at low sensitivities.
Turning the numpad on and off has become 2nd nature and doesn't take long to get used to.

Looks great, very very similar(copied?) in design to the expensive £120 corsair K70 which i got. but its worth pointing out it use random brand of mechanical switch instead of the popular branded cherry mx switch which is used in majority mechanical keyboard from reputable brand.
i dont how much it differ in actual quality or if cherry mx is all it crack up to be, but with the palm rest, full keyboard layout and brush metal finish, i probably choose the Element Gaming Beryllium keyboard

That's a ugly typeface for the keys,
