A Drevo Calibur v2 Pro

I'm not sure what's "pro" about it, I think that means it has bluetooth as well as working with a cable or some such. It's a sort of 65% (no function keys, no keypad) in a slightly unusual style with hardward toggle for mac/windows layouts as far as the control keys go. I don't use that function like I thought I would.

It has blue switches and sounds like a typewriter. It has magnetic feet which are actually really cool - I always end up snapping off the little flip-out plastic ones that are so common or replacing them with rubber.

It's fully RGB and though I get strobing effects when I move my eyes along it, I don't tend to look at it while I'm typing so it doesn't matter. It's black, and I have a mostly light pastel-ish sort of colour theme going on with a few differences: Caps Lock is red (and mapped to escape), Tab and arrow keys are green, Enter is pink. Don't have a camera on me right now.

Overall, I'd say it's a really good keyboard. Cost about £35 on ebay as an open-box return a couple of years ago.

I'd like different keycaps, but it's ISO, and it's really difficult to get keycaps for proper keyboards - most manufacturers only think about the US, and I can't get used to that layout.
