Hi /mkg/ first time posting here, so I hope I don't fuck up, here goes:
>Budget
Well I live in Africa. and the cheapest reputable one I've come across has been R1800, so $120 or so, I guess at the max I would be willing to go to $150.
>Location
As specified above, I live in Africa, South Africa to be exact, so I'm well aware that I won't have a variety to choose from, like a BSA does.
>Preferred switch type
Quite flexible on this, but i guess also depends on availability for stock here. I don't think I'd be too well-fitted for red switches, I don't want the keyboard exclusively for gaming, I'm a very junior software dev, so that response you get from typing helps me. Was thinking of perhaps brown or blues.
>Layout
Probably ISO, seeing as that is all I have ever used
>Form factor
100% only please, I use numpad a lot for debugging
>Backlight
Not opposed to it, but like I said, it all depends on availability
>Previous/current keyboards
Only ever owned membrane ones, and they were all the generic Microsoft ones, so I am virginal when it comes to this. Was leaning towards Corsair Strafe RGB (as it comes with a wrist-pad, which I would like to have if at all possible), but would be keen to hear what people's opinions on other accessible boards would be.
