I'm trying to buy a new keyboard that will be high quality and last me a long time, what are some known companies that make great keyboards?

Ideally I'm looking for a keyboard with cherry mx red or silver switches.

g. skill, cooler master, logitech are good, razer is good as well but tend to be overpriced, just read user reviews and find out which model or keyboard size would be best for you

I beat the absolute shit out of my Corsair Strafe back in the day and stayed totally reliable. Only ever got rid of it when I moved from MX Reds to Razer Greens (MX Blue adjacent)
Also had good luck with Razer keyboards thus far, While I prefer TKL have been enjoying using the Blackwidow X (had the Tournament Edition TKL until i killed it w/ water damage)
Can't speak on Razer Yellows (MX Red adjacent) but the Strafe with MX Reds was excellent.

There are three different Corsair keyboards that are used in my house. Absolutely no complaints with them whatsoever. When I had my first Corsair keyboard back in like 2014, the only minor complaint I had is that there were some issues with the lights acting a little weird. That has since been fixed via firmware updates a long time ago.

Great switches, software that doesn't act like total shit, and great quality keyboard all around.

I really do like mine, got the k70 M.K.2 with cherry red switches, only issue I’ve had is RGB not working and certain key binds not being recognized when ever I launch metro exodus…

I recommend the HyperX Alloy FPS with red switches. Affordable, minimalistic design so very portable (as a laptop gamer this keyboard easily fits in the same laptop bag). Quality is good and recommended by many other people. Big vouch.

I hope this doesn't count as necromancy but
I'm looking for a full-sized, wired keyboard with a big wrist rest
That's basically it; any recommendations?

saclogitech mech keyboards come with cheap plastic pins that break easily if ur a button smasher

Same with Razer mechanical keyboards. I had a nice one many years ago. It lasted about 1-2 years before the D key became softer than hot butter.

most companies when it comes to reputable hardware are fairly good in the 80-100 dollar price range nowadays, you shouldn't have much trouble with finding a keyboard that lasts. My recommendations no matter what though is that you look for a metal cased keyboard, instead of a plastic one or something without a lot of weight to it. Right now I'm using a modded keychron q2, but even unmodded it sounded and felt really high quality.

agree, I have a keychron k8 and it's great. I honestly prefer the plastic sound over metal though
