Good size with function keys, feels good to use, multiple colours to switch between, wireless or cable, comes with Mac + Windows buttons that you can change out and inexpensive. They also have bigger and smaller models with more or less keys. I bought a second recently since liked it so much.
Got the same keyboard and switches for my office, Just hot swap and White blacklight.
Really sweetspot size, compact and save space and maintain the all the keys you will ever need.
I got for my old man K3 for his birthday and he is happy about it.

You can add one tough, they are even selling in the same store.
Got my sight on the CORSAIR K70 RGB PRO. USB Type C cable and onboard memory profile and PBT keys (While MK2 has 2 USB cables but not sure if ya need to use both or not, OBM too? and ABS keys)
But i've seen it might have a pinging noise due to the metal plate from it and it's MX Speed switches, meaning my fingers would easily sink into the keys easily on rest and accidentally press the keys.
Would there be any similar alternatives from the K70 RGB PRO or am i screwed?

Dunno how K70 is but got K95 and it sucks. Buttons go: Clock, click, clickety clock pretty damn loudly. On Discord you will annoy others and you might just annoy yourself. Turdfuck quality unless they're actually aiming for as loud buttons as possible.
@Freiwalkd: Those are not the kinds of keyboards that i look for, besides missing the dedicated and separated multimedia keys like STOP (<-Important) and Play/Pause buttons
Well, any other alternatives that aren't the recent Logitech keyboards (that DON'T have the STOP multimedia key separated)?.. Been looking around and there's nothing much else
An alternative would be the G513 that has the multimedia key but it's mixed within the F keys

But if you use the "krisp" background noise suppresison on discord, it shouldnt pick up on any keyboard sounds, that one is usually activated by default on new installs.
Dude you are weird in every way, you cant live nicely with critism as it seems cause no matter where when someone has an argument you come up with silly defense phrases like the one above to change the subject.
get something from keychron or similar and forget about those useless gaming brands which sell every shit they can.
The issue with those Keychron/Ducky/-similar custom KB brands names here- is that their KB Layout is US and UK ISOs ONLY ....NOTHING EU ISO (Aka Ñ key among other distributed specific keys)
And they don't sell em over here either in Spain
Hence the asking about Corsair K70 RGB PRO wich's the closest thing compared to my Logitech G213 in terms of multimedia keys besides being better worked keycaps etc (That PBT thingy they say)... And no, anything past G213 in number term (G513, G815) does NOT have the dedicated multimedia keys separated. They're either fused with the FN+F## finger tango combo or the separated media keys does NOT have the IMPORTANT (atleast for me) "STOP" keey, wich makes "Stop->Play" easy to rewind a song if needed while not attending the music player. (But again, that's me. You guys have ya own preferences and i have mine..)
I tried the mentioned Corsair again, Speed Silver, at a shop (but without being on an actual PC and no wrist rest) and felt that the moment you placed the hands on the keys they're kinda SUPER EAISLY get pushed down, probably activating the keys ACCIDENTALLY and maybe even typos...
Not sure if MX BROWNS don't have this "press resistance" issue or something. I know my G213 is membrane and when i rest the fingers on em nothing happens, but you know what i mean...Maybe it's because mine's "Tactile" ?..But i'm unsure about it
As for "clickety clack" mentioned above i've heard ya can mod the KB with foam to prevent metal pings and then maybe lubricate the switches and maybe even add O-Rings, but i still gotta see one mod that has all of that togheter and get up to YT
Can someone please help me a bit?...

@DV2
I got the RedDragon full keyboard. Its mechanical but nothing fancy and sturdy as shit being all metal. But for the clacky keys in reference to my keyboard there was two solutions if I wanted to mitigate it.
1. You can physically change out any of the switches on mine by just pulling them out and plugging in a new one no soldering or anything its 'pull out, put new one in socket'. So Enter/spacebar/shift and tab I replaced with none clicky ones.
2. Then adding O-Rings to all the keys including the ones I changed stop a lot of the bottoming out clack noise.
Now all I hear is about the same as a very quiet ink pen click type of sound from each key. Its not as loud as an ink pen, just for reference of the type of click.
Actually more like the click from a good mechanical pencil when you extend lead. Testing it my mouse click is louder than my keyboard
Unless I am whaling on my keyboard while in discord, my desk mounted condenser mic that is mounted RIGHT in front of my keyboard (I have the slide out keyboard tray, mic clamped above the tray to the desK) doesn't trigger voice activation.

The issue is that we do not have that brand here either, and there's no dedicated STOP multimedia key...And it's USA ISO layout only, so no spanish Ñ key and specific layout (mentioned in the previous post) and there's no option in the Redragon's site for such layout etc..

seems like you don't have much options then and you will have to waste some on money and get one of those overpriced corsair keyboard.
maybe you can at least wait for a sale or so, so you don't feel that scammed.

Yeah, that's what i thought. Better wait for Black Friday or any other big sale and pray for MX Browns or Speed Silver to fall what, 50?...(aka 139€)
No hurries
What about a G815, even though it's low profile, or an G513?. Is there much difference in press feeling etc than my G213?

everything will feel different, since the g213 is just a rubberdome keyboard with mechanical sounds.
i got the g815, you will need to get used to it, it has a little bit smaller layout. it's also pretty cheaply made and way overpriced. i wish i would have gotten something else back then.
if you can get it for 100 euros i guess it's ok. too bad that you don't have other options, then the typical gaming brands.
Yeah, i know, but this is my "curse" of living in Spain and getting used to the EU Spanish layout etc and nothing much people can do about it.
And i know, hotswap etc to fix possible broken stuff, yet again we don't have those here with the mentioned layout etc

That really blows man.
Stuck in a situation where anything you could get is having to decide which features you are willing to give up to get other ones you want.
I wish I could help ya.
But if you have to pick options, my own personal opinion? No tools switch swapping is a must have for me after having it.
Don't like a particular key being clicky? or too stiff, or want it more clicky? Maybe broke it or spilt something on it and its not working? Maybe 30 seconds of effort and you have a whole brand new switch of your choice of type in there. Like i had one a splash of coke got into and started getting sticky. COULD clean it out, but just changed it out as changing it was quicker than trying to clean out the inside of a switch.
Personal preference is all but after having that convenience. Its in the top 3 of what my next keyboard must have. Id even give up other 'nice to have' options if I had to get that feature if I had to myself.

Here ya'll go. Shut it down. Shut the fuck up and buy this. End game. Period.
Or not, I don't care what you do.
I showed this to a few friends, one of them picked it up because fuck it why now, after some slight relearning on typing, he fucking loves it and might pick up a 2nd one for work because typing on a regular board sucks.
I'd pull the trigger but it was hard enough to swallow pulling the trigger on my Das 4.
I dropped a coffee on the $400 keyboard I was using last week
Tried cleaning it but the buttons are all fucky to press, feels like there's sludge forever stuck in there.
Looking for something new with media keys. Anyone have any suggestions?
Finally someone who's into Media Keys...Dedicated or not (F##)? <<
For cheap i'd say the membrane'd Logitech G213 , wich has a dedicated Stop multimedia (Very rare to see nowadays in it's latest KBs, dedicated keys or mixed with the F keys) but has an unattachable wrist rest
If ya don't mind the multimedia keys being in the F keys then probably any actual mechanical Logitech G513 version, but has a metal board wich might make pinging sounds (lubrication required?) or the low profiles G913 or something. Find one that comes with a comfy wristrest!
Going premium the CORSAIR K70 RGB PRO, wich has dedicated keys, including the Stop one, along a wristrest (but get a more comfy one like the HyperX on Amazon?) but has the tendency of PINGING SOUNDS when pressing (Although with some internal FOAM and lubricating the keys (both much easier to do than the previous Logitech?), as videos suggests, gets mostly ridden of the issue... Maybe even some O-Rings helps a tiny bit more?)
If the Stop multimedia key doesn't bothers you (Ya prefer to go to the app and restart ya song manually there instead of doing a 1 sec finger tango of Stop->Play in the keyboard, like me) then there's more options out there
Then there's the fully mechanical customizable Keychron keyboards like the K10 , but that depends if ya like it's designs, sounds, etc .. But atleast there's some customizable keys (with logos instead of F) that, hopefully, has a customizable Stop/Play/etc function that works without drivers/apps etc on the background
I'm no KB expert but that's what people been saying around Reddit etc...Personally i don't like the Keychron designs and worse of all the best one does NOT have European layout so it's a no-go for me, but since ya in the USA or around then it shouldn't be a problem
I owned like 2 Logitech G213. One broke the Enter key when i tried to pull out the keycap and tried to put it back and well, didn't worked that much... On the 2nd one no touchey touchey, but if i were to get a new one, even if modded the shit out, would be the K70 mentioned above (Even though i use my left pinky to rest at the left border of my KB... Comfy... Used to do that with previous G510 keyboard but that one had G keys that bothered me out.. While K70's is more THINNER on the BORDER and ... Uncomfy?)
