Bought it from HP India web. Seems they have hiked the price by 300rs.
Model number is GK-320. Rectified in previous post of mine.
Which switches does this HP mechanical keyboard use?

This seems like a very good option. Only issue is it is not listed on amazon. Buying from anywhere is something I won't do these days.Anyone have any experience with Gamdias products, specifically the Hermes E1?

it is Mechanical Switch Blue Switch.Which switches does this HP mechanical keyboard use?
They are wireless and wired Via Type C.As @Rockfella stated, most of the Keychron lineup is wireless. There's also the RK61 and the Anne Pro 2 that offer wireless connectivity.
Got this for 3k from Amazon.
AFAIK Cherry MX is the gold standard of mechanical switches. Rest all are inspired from MX. Please clarify how the kailh are way way way superior than the MX blues?I got this for 99 rupees more.
It comes with Kailh Box white switches which are way way way superior compared to Cherry MX blues, let alone Outemu/other clones. This keyboard has its flaws but it provides a vastly better typing experience.
This is not the usual TVS Gold which comes with Kailh blues - this is the TVS Gold Pro : https://www.amazon.in/Generic-TVS-Gold-Pro-Keyboard/dp/B08B5WTS4Z/
This is a very common misconception. Yes Cherry were one of the firsts but they are in no way even close to being the gold standard. Almost all other brands are better in one way or other than Cherry.AFAIK Cherry MX is the gold standard of mechanical switches.
True. But box whites are a ground up design and have nothing in common with standard MX switches except for the pin layout and the cross stem.Rest all are inspired from MX.

Thanks. You've saved a lot of my time too.This is a very common misconception. Yes Cherry were one of the firsts but they are in no way even close to being the gold standard. Almost all other brands are better in one way or other than Cherry.

Cherry switches are scratchy as hell. Press a box white switch, then go back to a Cherry MX blue, it feels like the Cherry switch is full of sand, feels rough and makes a scratchy sound all the way through. Even lubing the Cherry switches does not get rid of the scratchiness.
MX Blues have a Click jacket to produce the click sound when pressing a key. This feels mushy and scratchy, as well as sounding similar. The Box White instead has a click bar which gives a very distinct and crisp click on the downstroke and upstroke.
FWIW, I used to think just like you - CHerry switches are the best and nothing is better. I then paid 1000rs for 10 each of Kailh box white and red from meckeys, used them and then found out how much better they actually are. Ofcourse when I found out a keyboard exists with the Box whites, I did not hesitate to purchase it.

Stumbled on this thread while searching for mechanical keyboards. My 5 year old Meka G1 has problems with 2 keys which i need a lot, mainly for excel work and gaming. I have already ordered contact cleaner. I took the keys off and cleaned them up, but that has not helped. Any ideas?

my friend seems to be having issues with this kb now.had suggested Zebronics Max Plus to friend as cheap option in mech kb.
after about 2 yrs of use some of the led's on kb seem to be not working.
otherwise kb seems to be working fine even after a coffee spill & shit loads of dust
Which keys and what problems?My 5 year old Meka G1 has problems with 2 keys which i need a lot, mainly for excel work and gaming.
Took it apart and used some contact cleaner. The down right key got fixed after using that, but the down button is not working. When I took it apart, i could see that there is no solder on one of the legs. Very funny, because all the other keys seem to be well soldered. Have ordered a basic soldering kit and will work on it tomorrow.Which keys and what problems?
