Your experience with a mechanical keyboard

[supaflyx3]

That was a great guide, and i'd buy in to mechanical keyboards if logitech stepped in and designed one like the G510 or the G15.

i have the filco cherry blues.. bought it when it was probably the only mechanical keyboard u can get in NA. Luv it for both typing and gaming altho its a little loud.

so no one with first hand experience using cherry mx browns?

Turns out my dad has an old ibm model M, so I am going to give that a try.

I've been looking as well and I might settle on browns. I might just grab the Das Silent with the browns but I've also looked at the Ducky 9008 which I'd have to import or get shipped here from the US at a fairly ridiculous price.

I am leaning toward the Das Silent myself. After having used the model m for a bit I don't think I could pull off long typing/gaming sessions with something as "stiff" as the buckling spring switch, and cherry mx blacks are even stiffer.

I am not one really to accidentally press keys so I doubt I'll have issues with the mx browns, and the non-linear keys on this model m seem perfectly fine for gaming (well outside the activation force).

Just got the Razer Black Widow Ultimate, so far I really like it, tried COD-BO's, LOTRO, Rift so far.

I ended up buying the das keyboard silent, uses cherry browns. Very nice to type on, and I am obviously very light on the keys as there is no way I would accidentally press any keys. Would have preferred if it didn't have glossy plastic though.

Going to take a whirl in a couple games.

On the topic of daskeyboards, I like my das keyboard pro s. idk what else to say about it though.
