Just got myself a Steelseries 6GV2, pretty sick and glad I got it for $88 :P

Great pickup, and I am absolutely stocked that I got it finally

what a cool guy... has the same keyboard as me.

i'm using blue keys filco at the moment. It's all up to personal preference. make sure u try the keyboards before buying them.. That's all. Get one that really suits u. U dun wanna end up regretting splashing >$100 for a keyboard that you dun really like.. but once again. Once u go mech, u cant go back. :P

most ppl go for browns/blues cos they feel natural, rather than blacks with no tactile feedback but are supposedly better for gaming. blue keys have a problem with the actuation points so double tapping is more difficult but you will get around it after a few games. Doesnt affect much imo. blues are also considerably noiser compared to browns. so if u dont have your own room, i will suggest going for browns if not your roommate will want to kill u if u game in the middle of the night. Personally, i like the clicks too so i went for blue. but some ppl hate them and go for brown instead. Afterall, its all up to personal preference! have fun getting your first mech keyboard!

How come you think blacks don't feel natural?

[zeffrin]

Blacks feel unusual at first because the difference in pressure required from top of the stroke to the bottom increases... people let that affect them too much anyway...

It's kind of good they get harder to soften the blow when you bottom out... eventually you get used to only kind of half pushing all the keys while you're typing anyway

Once that happens rubber dome feels 'unnatural'

[iRLpuku]

it's all up to personal preference and whether u like to bottom out your keys.

[Mayo]

I use a Cherry black @ home and rubber dome at work, tis fine for me

My personal keyboard is the Das Keyboard Model S Ultimate

Cherry MX Blues, very very VERY nice typing keyboard and i've had no problems gaming on it. I also got some white keys from wasdkeyboards.com and put them on

If your doing lots of typing along with your gaming, a das keyboard is a great choice.

the Das keyboards look hell nice, but they look like (in the photos) fingerprint and dust would be too obvious... how is it actually?

Under light it's pretty obvious but it just takes a quick wipe to get rid of it, doesn't bug me but bugs a lot of people from what I have heard.

oh baby..!



The "Majestouch 2" Filco TenKey-less is what I wanted, cherry MX blue switches. I wanted it in this colour too, sadly these only come with the brown switch D;

+ Show +

On the other hand the standard black mj2 filcos look nice, luckily they come with blue switches.

If anyone knows where/if I can get the first one with blue switches, let me know. please.

PCCaseGear in Sydney.

Bought mine from them, i received it on the same day that i ordered it with their Sydney-based shipping.

Not sure how much longer it would take to get to WA.

This is why I don't have nice things

[jobberz]

I used black widow which has Cherry MX Blue switches - its a little too clicky. Not good in voip situations but good when you are just on your own.
Macro keys on left are nice but throw you off a bit - you may be used to referencing the edge of keyboard. I kept hitting macro key instead of ctrl ... but now I am used to it I love this - so accurate. You definitely don't make mistakes or miss keys in hot battle micro as often on this.

zeffrin:

Oh.. about referencing position by edge... omg huge point

[zeffrin]

I bought logitch g17 I think it is, the one after g15 but without the colour lcd... I used it for months and it was pretty good (for a standard keyboard lols)

but I just could never get used to finding the right keys because with every other keyboard I have I leave my pinking like on the far left edge of the leftmost key it turns out... whether thats capslock or a macro key

As most people have said, the razer BW really isn't very good.

Filco Majestouch with MX Browns is definitely the way to go.
