Deciding on 100% Rapid Trigger Keyboard
Hi everyone, I'm getting a new keyboard.
Short explanation: I am figuring out which rapid trigger keyboard I want to get. My budget is ≤ $200, and I want a full 100% layout that is wired. I am struggling to find resources on keyboards that fit this criteria other than the Wooting Two HE and Corsair K70 Max. I do not care if it has fancy RGB, but I do want a backlight at least.
Long explanation(s): I'm doing this since certain keys on my current EagleTec keyboard are starting to become unreliable after ~7 years of service, plus I have actually gotten to a point where I can notice the difference in time it takes for a mouse click Vs. key press to register when I start pressing down on the buttons, so I figured I would splurge a bit since it's been so long since I last bought a keyboard. ^((plus I just enjoy fiddling with controls in general, and customizable actuation distances+rapid trigger seem like) ^(fun) ^(things to tweak and obsess over)) I would heavily prefer it to be wired as well.
I want a full layout since I do gaming and work on the same computer, and I use the numpad enough to where an external one doesn't seem worth it to me, but I am open to suggestions on this front. I am impartial to fancy RGB, but I would at least like a backlight.
I am also completely inexperienced in building my own keyboard from parts if that's the route I should go - I have built and upgraded my own desktop over the years, but the most experience I have in fiddling with keyboards is taking each keycap off to clean everything before putting them back on. I'm not entirely opposed to building a keyboard, but I have no clue where to start considering my needs (not sure how easy it is to build one w/ rapid trigger specifically).
As mentioned before, I am struggling to find many good resources on keyboards that fit this criteria, with the only good candidates so far being the Wooting Two HE and Corsair K70 Max. Almost everything I'm seeing recommended/talked about are keyboards or PCBs with reduced key layouts.
If switch types matter (I am uneducated on the switch types that rapid trigger keyboards use), I am in the "blissful ignorance" phase - no hard preferences.
Thank you for your help, and as a reward, the alt code for the less-than or greater sign is ALT+243. I look forward to being corrected on my terminology. ^((I know I used rapid trigger and custom actuation distances somewhat interchangeably, please don't kill me))
