Need help with a keyboards and two computer mouses

[Vasylich]

Hello everyone, my keyboard died today and I had to replace it with another - very loud and cheap keyboard which was used by my parents.

So I need a keyboard that is quiet or not too loud, costing up to $50-55, maybe cheaper. I know about Ajazz AK820 and Aula F75, but I'd like to see what you can recommend too.

Also I'd like to hear your thoughts about Razer Deathadder Essential: is it worth to buy? It costs $27, but maybe you know something better for the same price?

And the last question may be a bit strange, but in the future I'm looking for a wireless mouse for parents that costs somewhere between $10-$25 so they can switch pages or click on something without using the TV remote (they like to watch movies and series on TV) or a wired mouse, but lying on their bed or couch. Also looking for not too loud wireless keyboard for them that costs somewhere between $20-$45. So if you know of any options, that would be great

SteelSeries Apex 3, approximately $50 USD. I've used this one for about 2 years now and it's held up fine. It's a solid choice, and it's very quiet

 

Amazon.com: SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL RGB Gaming Keyboard – Tenkeyless Compact Form Factor - 8-Zone RGB Illumination – IP32 Water & Dust Resistant – Whisper Quiet Gaming Switch – Gaming Grade Anti-Ghosting,Black : Electronics

 

For a mouse, I'm partial to Logi. The 502 Hero - more than your budget but still solid choices at about $47 USD

I am currently rocking logitech for both my keyboard and mouse...keyboard i wouldn't recommend, ive broken the space bar, W, S, and D keys over the last four years and the keys overall feel a tad week (Logitech G610)

 

However, I am a huge fan of the Logitech G305 mouse. Has survived my rage well and have had no issues with its responsiveness. Below link is to the logitech website but can find cheaper on Amazon or tech stores

I guess I'm old school but I thought wireless mice just weren't good for gaming?

Just like pineapple pizza -- there are those staunchly for and against!

 

I had this convo on jay1 a while back and the two groups quickly popped up for being wired or wireless. From my experience, I have had absolutely no issues with this mouse when gaming (ranging from ET to elden ring to minesweeper)

That's good to know because I may be limiting myself by not even considering wireless

 

 

....and Pineapple has no damn business on a Pizza...

I'm late, by now you probably bought something, what you get?

For reference I have been using this keyboard since 2020.  It's under $50, but it's mechanical and not quite.  I don't think I have ever heard a quite mechanical.

I have bought TRUST GXT 833 Thado TKL USB. I read on the website that it might be relatively good for its price (about $25-26 + $3 shipping).

I didn't really like it, actually. The keys are smaller than on the previous keyboard, so it's a bit difficult to type sometimes, maybe need to get used to.

I don't have thick fingers, more like somewhere in the middle between thick and thin, but sometimes they are very tightly placed on the WASD and this causes some inconvenience.

Also, the spacebar sometimes creaks a bit. This is more noticeable when jumping.

So far, I've been recommended MSI Vigor GK20, which is about $5 more expensive. Maybe I'll try to order it, or I'll still buy either Ajazz AK820 or Aula F75 or something that you have proposed

i've had an hp ku-0316 keyobard at my workplace and at home for years and i always insist on getting the same model - the last replacement due to a defective key (space) was three years ago. They last a 9 hour working day for years like the one I'm writing on I had to replace sometime in 2016

 

My experience with keyboards is that some of the ones I tried in the past with all the multimedia bells and whistles were quite fragile and some of the keys flew in the air or hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhung up
