Hi everyone.
I want a cheap mechanical small (tenkeyless) keyboard for 90% gaming.
I found this
http://www.banggood.com/Flashget-G600-W ... 79412.html

and

http://www.banggood.com/KEYCOOL-84-Mech ... 84863.html

What do you guys think about flashget and keycool keyboards and buying from banggood.com in general?

In general: Banggood = slow and risky, Keycool = low end but effective, and Flashget = first I've heard of them.

I'd go second hand and post a wanted ad here instead. You'll get a better keyboard (like a used Filco) from someone much closer and probably more reliable.

Why not go for one of the Cooler Master keyboards? They seem to be cheap and plentiful these days and come in all kinds of switch types.

Last time i checked cheapest "CM Storm Quickfire Rapid" was 84,80 € + shipping
and on banggood.com that Keycool is 65 € with shipping

+ i would like US layout and not the eu/uk/de one.
I'll try and post wanted ad.

I think you would be better of with a QFR. I don't think you should look at a price difference of 10-20 euros tbh. The QFR always gets very good reviews so I think you should be fine with one of these.

US got all the big discount because of the volume.

I'd recommend going with banggood since you're from UK and they offer free shipping worldwide but i suggest you add a few $ to have tracked shipping.

I ordered from them before, it can take 2-4 weeks depending which warehouse they ship from. make sure you can tolerate the wait before ordering otherwise you'll be anxious the whole time.

Id recommend looking for a coolermaster QFR or TK. They're really solid boards for an affordable price.
