Recommendations for cherry blue keyboards. (lemmy.world)

I use a Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate with cherry blues and love it. Have a good friend who likes using her grandson's gaming keyboard that I think is a nice membrane keyboard. She was interested in my keyboard as it is mechanical like the old keyboards she used back in the day.

We are both office users, not gamers.

I don't want to spend the $179 for a keyboard that might not be what she wants and there are better options now, from what I understand.

Can you please recommend a cherry blue mechanical with a number pad and a steel back plane?

I'm using a Leopold FC900R with blues (click-thock forever!) that I got a few years back. It's a full sized, 104 key, no RGB, no bells and whistles type deal. I got a really good deal on one (~$80 USD), but I'm in Korea where they're made, so YMMV. I honestly don't know what the back plate is made of, but it is quite heavy. 1.2 kgs (2.6 lbs) according to this place.
