I don't use the razer blackwidow when people are around, and also, mechanical keyboards don't actually directly increase your apm, but more in a indirect way. For eg. i have a rhythm of the tapping of my keyboard, and when i dont hear it, i know im doing something wrong, so it helps me sustain a certain apm.

its easier to press fingers dont get tired that easily while spamming, Filco cherry mx blue +1

the razer blackwidow uses blue cherry keys and isnt as expensive as the other mechanical keyboard so you can consider it

razer blackwidow build construction <<<< filco

try before you buy, if you're singaporean, there's a shop in simlim, level 5 called tecdrome. you can ask to try, at least i got to try out mine. and i'm using a filco cherry mx blue

Does the blackwidow actually use Cherry switches? Nowhere in the technical details does it ever say that it uses Cherry blue switches, I think it's razer's own technology.

I got the Razer BlackWidow and although it's a Cherry MX Blue Switch I personally like it more than the previous Filco Majestouch I had.

It is 101% cherry blue switches, if you take off the keys you'll see the switches have 'Cherry' written on them.

I own a filco blue and the blackwidow feels lighter to type with. Haven't tried it for gaming though.

Not sure about the flat keys though.

Paroxysm · Sun, 10th-Apr-2011, 3:22 PM

Wow Makra, that keyboard looks amazing :O. It is possibly the most elegant keyboard I've ever seen... however it probably wouldn't be appropriate for gaming...

NoThanXSPR · Sun, 10th-Apr-2011, 3:51 PM

im interested in this too.

bossplayers · Wed, 20th-Apr-2011, 10:25 AM

Very interested in this!

Meatex · Wed, 20th-Apr-2011, 11:44 AM

i would also be interested, especially after raging and busting my current logitech wireless keyboard TT
Are mechanical keyboards rage resistant or fairly fragile compared to normal keyboards?

SiZeMaTTeRs · Wed, 20th-Apr-2011, 11:57 AM

Im just waiting to order Ducky 1008 blue keys.

Jabberwocky · Wed, 20th-Apr-2011, 12:31 PM

Interested in this! Need to get a new keyboard anyway.. It's been about 7 years since I last bought a keyboard.

cruxBsK · Wed, 20th-Apr-2011, 1:00 PM

any updates/pics of the custom keyboard? is this still happening?

Edit - how much would they be as i've looked on http://elitekeyboards.com/products.p...&pid=fc200rtab and 105 is still expensive would we be getting a bulk order special price?

bossplayers · Tue, 26th-Apr-2011, 11:18 AM

would be cool to get an update on this

ke_ivan · Tue, 26th-Apr-2011, 3:55 PM

Me too! imma looking at mech keyboards atm. shld i wait?

bossplayers · Wed, 27th-Apr-2011, 10:02 AM

I am definitely waiting! Please update

I'm sure most people are keen on this. I would purchase 2.

FvRsolis · Wed, 27th-Apr-2011, 4:55 PM

I think that the general consensus is.
Filco (if you have the cash)
Steel Series V7 (if you have the cash)
Or Razer's Black Widow (as a cheaper alternative).

For me, the cheapest would either be Filco or the BW as they're worth about 100-130 AU at the moment... I just don't want to shell out that money when I brought my Lycosa not long ago.
