Best praise vs top criticism for Cooler Master CK550 V2
“Many boards have tried, ha. I've gone through TX boards, a Keycult, one TGR, and several RAMA boards. These 3 Norbs are the only ones that stuck through with me the whole way around (the rest got sold). There is just something incredible about the case material combined specifically with the plate that the stock Cooler Master uses. I can't explain it, but it makes my Gat Ink Blacks just so subtly thock in a way that I haven't replicated on another board yet.”
“Hey, I am looking into buying a new keyboard as some of the keys on my Cooler Master CK550 V2 have been skipping inputs and it is getting pretty annoying. I am looking into getting a full (or alternatively 96%) keyboard with ideally these features: preferably under 150€ (I am fine with buying second-hand), brown switches (i.e., tactile and quiet), backlight (not a necessity, both RGB and monochrome are fine, I don't care about the backlight being programmable) as well as "tame" colouring (i.e., I prefer my keyboard to look "boring" instead of something like what most Ducky keyboards seem to look like). It should additionally be available in Europe/Germany (I looked into getting a Ducky or a Keychron but the models that I like seem to be out of stock). I use the US keyboard layout (ideally I would prefer the ISO layout, i.e. US international, but it's probably the least important thing that I have listed here). Regarding this, the Das Keyboard 6 Professional looks nice (at least in theory, I am aware that they aren't well-liked here) and I saw that someone is selling it second-hand (apparently only opened and not used) for around 100€. Is that a good deal? Thank you for your help.”
