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?

    Blue switches are not a good choice for office use if the user shares a space with others or has video meetings. I find typing on a red switch to be just as fast and comfortable as on a blue switch. Brown is a good in-between.

    Check out the Kechron C2 or Logitech G413.

    I recommend getting a red switch from a retailer you know has good returns and see if she likes it as much as yours. Or maybe go to a best buy together and have her try out a couple different switches.
