What's all the hype with mechanical kb nways? I never understood the justification on spending more than $50 on a kb. Craziness I tell ya.

Personally i went with this and i'm more than satisfied with it (gigabyte osmium):

Then again some of the brands you've mentioned before aren't available in my country at all, so can't really compare. It was this or razer for me basically.

I have a Ducky Shine2 myself, and I love it. Definitely wouldn't want to switch back to a regular keyboard (I use one at work every day though).

Other than for gaming, are there any benefits to mechanical keyboards? I hate the clunky sound they make, they remind me of an old keyboard I had back on my 286 Laughing

i hate flat keyboards, feels like typing on a touchscreen, it needs to make a clunky sound and be cheap, there is alot of beer on my desk at all times to be potentially spilled.

Pulled the trigger on this yesterday:

http://www.ebuyer.com/506035-cherry-mx-board-3-0-wired-professional-usb-keyboard-with-win-key-lock-black-g80-3850lybgb-2

Cherry Red MX, has feet (@The_Zeel I hate flat keyboards too), and seems to have a decent number of positive reviews here and there. Cheap too. Smile

There is no benefit to gaming unless you are using the mx red and black switches, but I believe those are not worth it because they are not much different than a rubber dome

The benefit is in typing satisfaction and speed and personally I really like the sound that blues make

Also you can type with your face with N-key rollover, you can press every single key at the same time and they will all be registered


The sound is the one thing I'd like not to hear, that's why I'm planning on getting Logitech K290.

Hmmm I'd always wanted to type with my face Very Happy

Did you check if you like the Cherry Blue sounds? My brother got a kb with blue switches and they are too loud for my taste. I went with red and it's much better in my opinion. Brown should be fine too.

Anyway, enjoy your keyboard, Das are very good.

things i would do if i pretty much had everything and couldnt decide what to waste 170 dollars on:

1. wipe my ass with it
2. burn
3. throw into the sea

nope, buying a 170 dollar keyboard isnt one of em...

There are enough people who think spending 300 bucks for a GPU or 600 bucks on a phone is moronic. Different people, different priorities.

@KGen I actually went to the store to check them out. I just LOVE the sound of blue switches imo.

I just hope they won't wake up anyone in the house Very Happy Very Happy

Guys, somehow related, no point in creating another thread - are there any worth checking wireless sets of kb/m? I wanna transition to playing on my TV entirely and while I have wireless gamepad I would like to play some fpp also, no serious multiplayer fpps, just for some singleplayer - wolfenstein, farcry 3, thief maybe etc
