It should matter who the buyer is on Amazon because if the buyer isn’t you then you won’t get it delivered, now will you?
In terms of sellers — I bought this one which is the AP2 X SainSonic. People seem to have some of the least issues with this model, so I’d say go that way. A lot of switch variants are no longer available though and I’m going to assume it’s due to COVID-19. Happy hunting

Is this keyboard a good keyboard?

Couldn’t tell you about that site. But I got mine last Oct from Amazon. It’s currently $89 (I got it when it was on sale for $79).

I got mine off Amazon, they have a 20$ off coupon right now so the price drops to 89$. I saw that it can be bought for cheaper on AliExpress and other sites but Amazon ships it to you next day if you have Prime.

I’m kinda lost:
I want the feels, moving from a K120 Logitech to a MKB finally
- Budget 100-120 USD
- Must be on Amazon
- Wireless/Bluetooth
- No aditional software if possible
- I dont need numerical or arrows (I mainly program and game)
- Kinda silent switches (browns?)
What about the F1, F2, F3… keys? how do you guy manage without them?
I was thinking about the ANNE PRO 2 60%
I love this aesthetic TOFU
​
Thank you in advance guys!

Plenty of switch choices, available in black or white, wireless or wired, full RGB. And it’s 60%.
Is this what you’re looking for?

Just confirmed with the vendor. These two stores are official dealers. https://getannepro.com/ and https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Y4ZVP6J

u/deathdraggon228 ‘s build has tons of issues, I recommend going with this or what u/mapleballing came up with.
1) US pricing for someone located on the UK, not a good idea. That memory costs £160 where you live and is ridiculous when you can get 16GB of ram for half the price for example. The build also goes over budget, it’s £1350, and once you tack on the extra £300-400 it costs to get a rtx 3060 ti or 3060 at MSRP, it goes over the £1600 mark. Without even including keyboard and mouse mind you.
2) The noctua D15 is a no compromise air cooler meant for the hottest processors and the richest people who have a chronic fear of liquid cooling and don’t give a flying fuck about money. You can literally get a 360mm liquid cooler for less money that destroys the D15 in sheer cooling performance. However the 5600x is a really chill processor, it does not produce a lot of heat, so really a good air cooler like the Arctic freezer 34 esports duo or scythe fuma 2 will be plenty to cool the 5600x.
3) The motherboard is really overkill for your use case. General rule, if you don’t know why you need a X570 motherboard you don’t need a X570 motherboard. More here. A B550 board like the MSI B550-A pro is fine for most people.
4) Yeah I doubt you need such fast memory either. For most use cases you barely see much gains for super fast memory, some benchmarks here. Even if you wanted fast memory you could get even faster stuff for less money anyways, but like I said, not needed, the jump to 32GB will literally have a bigger performance increase.
5) You don’t need a PCIE 4.0 SSD. You play video games with this, right? Because let me tell you, a PCIE 4.0 SSD is not really that much faster than a PCIE 3.0 SSD like the Kingston A2000 in gaming stuff, in fact in this case it’s 0.2s slower! What a staggering difference! Yeah usually these ultra fast pcie 4.0 SSDS are for people who do video editing work and all sorts of really demanding stuff or for people who have unlimited budgets or both. For games you really start to see diminishing returns above the 500MB/s mark. The A2000 does 2GB/s and the 980 pro does 7GB/s.
6) Assuming you don’t care about looks you can get the performance version of the case which is optimized for airflow over looks. Both cases are good, but if you seriously don’t care about looks the performance variant will be better.
7) You don’t need a 850w PSU for a rtx 3060 ti. Once you add a 3060 ti, you’d be looking at around a 400w peak power draw. So you could easily get away with 650w and 550w, higher wattage is a waste of money and will reduce efficiency. Anyways, the NZXT C is a pretty decent power supply, but it’s overall performance for the 850w version is inferior to the corsair RMx 2018 and RMx 2021, I’d pay the little extra for those ones. However like I said, 650w is fine.
8) The VG27AQ is quite poor compared to modern competition, lacks a wide color gamut and has pretty damn slow response times that can result in low refresh rate compliance. The LG 27GN800, gigabyte M27Q and Dell S2721DGFA are all much better for less money.
For this build I’ve gone with the 5600G over the 5600x. It’s a bit worse in sheer CPU performance but it comes with integrated graphics so you can use the computer already without needing a graphics card.
Also for peripherals. For keyboards, a better one gets you just a overall better typing experience. After trying mechanical keyboards, a lot of people describe membrane keyboards as “like typing on mashed potatoes” or “mushy”. You get better switches that feel better, better stabilizers, better build quality, and some other stuff like lower latency, rgb backlight, wireless etc
A better mouse will also bring several advantages, better comfort and higher build quality, lower latency, extra buttons, weight optimization, a better gliding experience, sometimes wireless connectivity too.
Anyways, for keyboard suggestions, if you want wireless I suggest picking up one of keychron’s K-series keyboards. Wireless latency is a bit high though. The obinslab Anne 2 pro is also really good. If you prefer wired I’d get the hyperX alloy origins core or EVGA Z20.
For mice if you want wireless the Logitech G305 is what I’d go with, maybe the glorious model O Wireless or Razer viper ultimate if you want to spend more. For Wired the Razer viper mini, Razer DeathAdder V2, Steelseries rival 3 and glorious model O/D are all really good. I recommend trying these out in store to see what you like best.

You get better switches that feel better, better stabilizers, better build quality, and some other stuff like lower latency, rgb backlight, wireless etc
A better mouse will also bring several advantages, better comfort and higher build quality, lower latency, extra buttons, weight optimization, a better gliding experience, sometimes wireless connectivity too.
Anyways, for keyboard suggestions, if you want wireless I suggest picking up one of keychron’s K-series keyboards. Wireless latency is a bit high though. The obinslab Anne 2 pro is also really good. If you prefer wired I’d get the hyperX alloy origins core or EVGA Z20.
For mice if you want wireless the Logitech G305 is what I’d go with, maybe the glorious model O Wireless or Razer viper ultimate if you want to spend more. For Wired the Razer viper mini, Razer DeathAdder V2, Steelseries rival 3 and glorious model O/D are all really good. I recommend trying these out in store to see what you like best.

u/deathdraggon228 ‘s build has tons of issues, I recommend going with this or what u/mapleballing came up with.
1) US pricing for someone located on the UK, not a good idea. That memory costs £160 where you live and is ridiculous when you can get 16GB of ram for half the price for example. The build also goes over budget, it’s £1350, and once you tack on the extra £300-400 it costs to get a rtx 3060 ti or 3060 at MSRP, it goes over the £1600 mark. Without even including keyboard and mouse mind you.
2) The noctua D15 is a no compromise air cooler meant for the hottest processors and the richest people who have a chronic fear of liquid cooling and don’t give a flying fuck about money. You can literally get a 360mm liquid cooler for less money that destroys the D15 in sheer cooling performance. However the 5600x is a really chill processor, it does not produce a lot of heat, so really a good air cooler like the Arctic freezer 34 esports duo or scythe fuma 2 will be plenty to cool the 5600x.
3) The motherboard is really overkill for your use case. General rule, if you don’t know why you need a X570 motherboard you don’t need a X570 motherboard. More here. A B550 board like the MSI B550-A pro is fine for most people.
4) Yeah I doubt you need such fast memory either. For most use cases you barely see much gains for super fast memory, some benchmarks here. Even if you wanted fast memory you could get even faster stuff for less money anyways, but like I said, not needed, the jump to 32GB will literally have a bigger performance increase.
5) You don’t need a PCIE 4.0 SSD. You play video games with this, right? Because let me tell you, a PCIE 4.0 SSD is not really that much faster than a PCIE 3.0 SSD like the Kingston A2000 in gaming stuff, in fact in this case it’s 0.2s slower! What a staggering difference! Yeah usually these ultra fast pcie 4.0 SSDS are for people who do video editing work and all sorts of really demanding stuff or for people who have unlimited budgets or both. For games you really start to see diminishing returns above the 500MB/s mark. The A2000 does 2GB/s and the 980 pro does 7GB/s.
6) Assuming you don’t care about looks you can get the performance version of the case which is optimized for airflow over looks. Both cases are good, but if you seriously don’t care about looks the performance variant will be better.
7) You don’t need a 850w PSU for a rtx 3060 ti. Once you add a 3060 ti, you’d be looking at around a 400w peak power draw. So you could easily get away with 650w and 550w, higher wattage is a waste of money and will reduce efficiency. Anyways, the NZXT C is a pretty decent power supply, but it’s overall performance for the 850w version is inferior to the corsair RMx 2018 and RMx 2021, I’d pay the little extra for those ones. However like I said, 650w is fine.
8) The VG27AQ is quite poor compared to modern competition, lacks a wide color gamut and has pretty damn slow response times that can result in low refresh rate compliance. The LG 27GN800, gigabyte M27Q and Dell S2721DGFA are all much better for less money.
For this build I’ve gone with the 5600G over the 5600x. It’s a bit worse in sheer CPU performance but it comes with integrated graphics so you can use the computer already without needing a graphics card.
Also for peripherals. For keyboards, a better one gets you just a overall better typing experience. After trying mechanical keyboards, a lot of people describe membrane keyboards as “like typing on mashed potatoes” or “mushy”.

I bet I’m out of my depth here but for “any” 65% keyboard, amazon is selling the Anne Pro 2 for $54 RN…

I really like the Ann Pro 2. That’s my daily keyboard while I’m at work. You just need to like the 60% keyboard

depends on a lot of things, what kind of switches you want (clicky, tactile, linear), the form factor of the keyboard (full size, TKL, 75%, 60%, or any of the weirder ones like 40%), and your budget. generally if you want a gaming keyboard you would go for a keyboard with linear switches, but this is all personal preference. personally i game with kailh box pinks which are clickies. this is a good 60%, this is a good TKL, and this is a good 75%. let me know if you have any questions.

I noticed that too. Actually, there are more things that are different to it compared to another Anne Pro 2 a colleague of mine has (and the ones I’ve seen on the internet). On the box it says “Anne Pro 2 x Sainsonic” and there was an extra key cap that came with it that also says Sainsonic. The backplate is also a little bit different compared to the ones I’ve seen before. I guess it’s an “edition” of some sort?
I bought it on Amazon.com, it feels and looks legit, ObinsKit works fine. So I don’t know what’s up with that.
Here are some other pics:

Thanks for the tips, I really appreciate it!
Currently I’m caught between the AP2, K2, and K8… all within 80-90$ range so price so much a factor. All with Gateron browns, and I don’t have much of a preference between these board sizes as all the keys I’d actually use still seem to be there in 60% so
Any advice on which to pick? they all seem very solid so I’m really not sure, so I’ll list out the main differences I see
AP2s I think I like the aesthetic of better and the loss of the arrow keys doesn’t seem so bad here because they have a workaround where you can use the shift/fn/command/ctrl as arrow keys. The battery is ~1900mAh but I don’t care for RGB much so I doubt I’d have problems there
K8s are 80% and have a 4000mAh battery which is much better, but they seem really chunky and flat which might be strenuous to type on idk. Also, they’re hot-swappable which is nice but I don’t know how important that really is because I doubt I’d swap the switches so much just because of how expensive they can be lol
K2s seem the same as K8s just 75% and with a bit more incline maybe, though still very thick
Thoughts?
Also, is there anything specific I should look for from wrist rests?

What size keyboard are you looking for? There are a lot of affordable 60% keyboards like the Anne Pro 2.
