I absolutely love them. They sound amazing (most likely better than any headset targeted at gamers) and are EXTREMELY comfortable for long use. They're light, have comfy cloth pads and they're open so you don't get all sweaty. Being open means you don't get any isolation however, so if you live in a noisy household or using them for LAN specifically they wouldn't be great - Amazing for sitting on the computer all day however.

I do have one small gripe with them and that is that each ear cup can spin around on its axis endlessly, meaning the wires will take a lot of abuse if you're not careful. My left earphone has recently died because the wire got twisted (after 2 years of use however) but I'm going to open them up and replace the wire and all should be good.

I'll bring them along to next CH if you you're going.

That would be awesome. I've always enjoyed the feel of ones like my current Senns which fit completely over your ear. I would love to try something like the alessandro's, but I've been a bit nervous about how comfortable they are... don't want to fork out that kind of money if I have no if they'll be hurting my head after an hour or so

No mech keyboard is going to feel anything like a DT-35. The closest I can recommend will be a Topre board.

Honestly though I think the beauty of mech keyboards is in how different they feel from rubber domes. It's a much nicer feel and I feel repulsed when I go back to a regular rubber dome now.

anyone know what this is? (the keyboard)

I know he used to use a Qsenn DT-35 with a checker pattern, but I can't quite tell with this one. I guess it coule just be another Qsenn the profile does seem similar to my Qsenn.

And I felt bad for spending 150 on my Das.

In off the record today they asked him what gear he used.

His reply was that he was using the DT 35, then switched to Razer and is now back to DT 35.

Pretty sure thats what he said anyway =/

	Hydroid:	Yeah saw that too. So I guess he just got rid of the checker pattern.
	Jaywalk:	yes! i posted that question to them because i wanted to know so bad haha

im using a Razer blackwidow ultimate and Razer Deathadder, i have had the deathadder for 3 years and love it, only had the blackwidow for about 3 months, but im loving it, my first mechanical keyboard and so glad i bought it, + the backlighting is pretty

should be getting a meka g1 in the next few days...

soo keeeeeen!!

c_kAelle · Thu, 16th-Feb-2012, 12:02 AM

I use a Logitech K120 Keyboard and an A4TECH X7 F3 Mouse. They work great, saving up for Steelseries 6GV2 and Sensei

NDG.Stitch · Thu, 16th-Feb-2012, 12:35 AM

razer imperator, logitech g105, planning to get the Tt spiral (or whatever that is called), regular cheap mousepad, using beats right now

My choices above are rather cheap because I'm a student and I haven't really put a lot of money into gaming gear. The mouse costs about 750 HKD (around 125 AUD), the keyboard costed around 360HKD (60 AUD) and the Tt Spiral costs around 480 (80 AUD) - my currencies may be wrong because the last time I went to Australia was way back :P

anyways, i find my gear quite decent, the keyboard is not mechanical but has a really nice hard feel to it and has lighting, the mouse is a palm mouse, so it may be hard to get used to, but it has a nice texture and feel to it.

Just saying, why don't you guys go for Ducky over Filco? A lot of my friends say that a Filco is basically just like Ducky, but Filco is a lot more expensive.

ROOTPetraeus · Thu, 16th-Feb-2012, 11:40 AM

I just use a Razer Deathadder and a shitty logitech keyboard T_T
Maybe when I get a job I'll buy some new stuff

Billy Stevens · Thu, 16th-Feb-2012, 11:51 AM

I used to use a logitech G110, but recently switched to a Razer Blackwidow.

Absolutely loving the black widow (Clakity Clakity Clakity Clakity)

I also use a Razer DeathAdder.
