Buying_Guide

If you have questions, please consult the CMKB FAQ first.

NOTE: This list cannot possibly list every single keyboard available for sale in the world. As such, each of these keyboards is picked for a particular reason.  It was a famous brand, it's easily available, it is white (unusual), it offers switch-swapping, and so on.  If you find something cheap that's NOT on this list, it doesn't mean it's not worth buying. It just means it may not offer something special or unique feature that I find notable.

Anyway, keyboards are arranged by size, with the "other" section containing the oddballs and honorable mentions.

  1. What about Cougar Attack X3 RGB and PURI TKL?

  2. Cougar Attack X3 does not have a standard bottom row. This has a been a persistent problem with Cougar keyboards. The three left keys to space bar are 1.5x, resulting in a tiny space bar. The Puri, at least, look like it has normal space bar, and that magnetic cover is interesting. $70 for TKL is tolerable for Cherry switches.
