I got this 71 key Drevo mechanical keyboard for $62. It has RGB led lighting and Bluetooth, which is awesome if you game from the couch.

Finally made the switch to 21:9 It makes my workflow for editing photos and making music so much more enjoyable. So many pixels!

I think the closest you'll find is the Drevo Calibur

I'm on mobile, so I'm not sure if the Amazon link will work. Anyway I've heard it's a pretty good budget board like the Magicforce 68.

The YouTube channel taekeyboards has a review of it, check it out.

I just swapped all the keycaps but WASD on my keyboard to give it a little flair. The keyboard itself is alright, just a relatively cheap one from amazon. Nothing like the crazy ones people post on r/mechanicalkeyboards.

But then I thought... I should have asked you guys for advice before buying. I did my own research so you guys, being veterans, might have a better suggestion.

I bought it off amazon for 52 bucks, had a lot of great reviews, probably the most well reviewed wireless mech for the price range. Went with the brown switch for a mix of gaming and typing, 71 key because when I'm playing games, extra keys tend to get in the way after a certain point and I'm a minimalist anyway. I also like the spacing on mechanical keyboards and this keyboard in particular. The general layout has enough room between the keys and the keycaps are clearly defined from each other so you don't accidentally mash more than one and it will register even if you do.

Are there better mechanical kbs for this price range/these specs, though? Amazon will let me return it if you guys have a better suggestion.

EDIT:

Here is the amazon link.

Anyone have the DREVO Calibur? How good is it? Are the switches replaceable?

gotcha. Problem is there's no way to make the magicforce 68 wireless that's simple and good looking. There's no space in the case for it. You're better off finding another keyboard, if you really need arrow keys and bluetooth compatibility.

EDIT: Maybe this is what you want

Drevo Calibur and a BT Dongle.

It's a good idea to check seller feedback across all platforms. Most legit sellers usually have hundreds of reviews with a overall score of 90% and up.

Not sure if this is your same one, but [this seller] (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Anne-Blue-Red-Brown-Switch-Mechanical-Backlit-Gaming-Wireless-Keyboard-/311796508197?var=&hash=item4898852625:m:ms7wfAfhvJmr88yRTOvxIqA) on Ebay seems legitimate.

With your requirements and at that price point, the Anne Pro is your best best. The only wireless alternative I can think of is the [Drevo Calibur] (https://www.amazon.com/DREVO-Wireless-Bluetooth-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B01N0QAB3V/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_bs_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=EHXFX5PQZPZ1WKY6CDW4), but that's a slightly larger form factor. Good luck!

I keep my gaming machine as portable as I can, the 71 key keyboard I picked up has been great and I don't miss the FN keys or numpad at all. I got this one in black with brown keys and it has been really pleasant to use. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0QAB3V/

Just got it last week. So far the bluetooth connectivity has been very reliable.

Royal Kludge makes some decent boards, the only downside I see to that one is the non-removable wrist wrest and the huge bezels that make the board well... uh... pretty big, and the usb is non-removable.

I can see why its appealing, its on sale and a full sized board, but I don't think its the best option, if you don't need the numpad or don't use one very often you can go with a TKL (Tenkeyless aka Numpadless) board and then buy a numpad seperately (Jellycomb numpad is under $20).

With that being said, if your willing to loose the numpad I'd recommend the Drevo Calibur 71 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N0QAB3V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_keD8ybWWVHTHJ
Its slightly longer than a 60% board but it gives you arrow keys and the nav cluster (pg up, end, ect.), and it has optional bluetooth.

Its not my primary board but its build quality is pretty good and for the price I'd definitely recommend it since its essentially a Magicforce 68 with rgb, the Magicforce 68 being another very popular option around here but its not RGB, not that that's a bad thing but the board you linked is RGB making me think your probably looking for a keyboard with RGB backlighting and not a solid color.

I recently purchased a Drevo Calibur Mechanical Keyboard: link

It is mechanical with cheaper but still good brown keys, wireless that works well, has many lighting effects (including red), and can be wired if need be.

I've been using it for work mostly and have no complaints other than I do miss the 10-key. I knew when I bought it that I would, but I wanted somethings on the cheaper end for work and to be wireless. I can always buy a separate 10-key if need be.

I have one of these, and I like it a lot. Very simple RGB low profile board you may not even need a wrist rest with. RGB is set on the board, and is limited to like 7 colors, which sucks, because it's got RGB LEDs in it, but they are nice colors. I have one, and it's very nice for the price. Otherwise, the keyboards listed in the guide posted by another user - eagletec, red dragon etc are very cheap, nice boards.

It's a keyboard I'm looking at. It's wireless but the latency for non gaming applications is minimal. And when you game you can easily just plug it in. RGB backlighting with no software so you don't have to put more software on your computer. Otemu blue switches, which are cherry mx blue clones

I am keeping it after all. I am not wholly satisfied, but it's not too bad. I really wish I could reprogram the keys, though, and not all of that can be done in software.

The browns version is still available on Amazon.it where I got it, and also other EU Amazons I've checked, for the same price (DE, UK, FR). They are listed as available for international shipping.

You're currently out of luck if you need to order from US Amazon, but then I assure you the shipping cost would be silly high from here anyway... plus risk of Customs hassles.

I'm completely new to mechanical keyboards and I was planning to pick up a Drevo Calibur and change the keycaps. Is there any specific requirement for what kind of keycaps I can change it to? I was thinking that I would be able to change the keycaps to any kind that says Cherry compatible like these.

Love it! Why is this better, Internet Stranger?

Drevo Calibur. Not cherry, but brown.
