Any recommendations?

Primary use is gaming.
Prefer something that isn't stupid loud, open to non cherry brand switches ofc.
Must be backlit, I'd like rgb but I can live with red/purple.

I know...
Its ridiculous. And I know nothing about these off brand guys so I'm kinda lost on quality and switch types that aren't cherry.

Rosewill k85 and k81 Rgb brown switch KB are 64$ and 74$ respectively, and I can get a Hyper X allow fps to for 99$ from amazon.

Are any of them decent or comparable to your current suggestion?

I'd prefer full KB though so prolly pass on the Hyper, I use my PC as more then a gaming machine as well so I'd like a full KB.

When you live in a tiny rural community like mine with approx 3500 population options are slim.

I had the guy send me pictures of the item, the box, the postage on it etc... and confirmed with canada post.

I also have the conversation saved on MyKijiji with a backup and his address.

Paypal also offers buyer protection if your account is linked to Kijiji and the sale was completed via Kijijis buy/sell program.

I'll know tmrw if I bought a really expensive box lol.

Took a chance as the cheapest I've seen that keyboard is 185+ taxes and this one has a receipt, its 2 months old and covered by steelseries.
