If you are after gaming gear get a mechanical keyboard, FILCO/SteelSeries 6g/6gv2/7g/Ducky ect... those keyboards don't have fancy shmancy backlightning/macro keys but they are:

- very durable
- pleasure to type on
- awesomesauce response time/pressure needed to activate a key (which is AWESOMESAUCE for gaming!!!)

Some of those keyboards are loud due to switches used, any switch is good for gaming just pick one that you feel is comfortable (i find that for myself black switches from 7g are very nice, tried blues and didn't really like them that much)

Sure you will pay $60-$100 more than arctosa (from their RRP of $69.99 which is actually MUCH higher in local aus shops) but those keyboards will last you for far longer than arctosa/lycosa, just dont spill any liquid on them :P

Anyway.... if you were to compare mech keyboards to regular membrane keyboards, yeah, i'd say mech keyboards will definitely come out tops. But since OP has already ordered an Arctosa, just letting him know it wasn't a waste of money. It IS a decent product
