Either brown or blue mx switches or the like. I'm looking to buy in the UK. Not trying to find any full price items, but with offers I can manage.

I've been ogling the Rantopad MXX for the past few days, but that doesn't seem to be available in the UK, sadly.

Zalman ZM-K500 is cheap, if you can find one.
In my area it is near $60 in most stores, so I assume in civilized places it costs below $50 (that was it's original price here in 2013). It is a 10-keyless KB which uses Kailh Reds.
Simple and decent build quality, no fancy stuff like gazillion extra keys, or eye-gouging backlight etc.

I bought a Tesoro Durandal a week ago, no complaints, but I don't need all the fancy gamer stuff

What do you guys think of the charming Logitech G105? I'm really getting into a retro mindset at the moment xD

EDIT: I know it's not mechanical, but in truth I don't care. I just want the best typing experience.

With that said you should care.

There is a lot of difference maybe you should go visit some shops see if you can get to try some to get a idea.
