Judge the product. Not the brand. The standard blackwidows is actually surprisingly nice on your wallet for a mechanical board. P.s. Razor blackwidow is actually 2KRO regardless of which model you get.

Razer use terrible keycaps.

[...] This. I bought a Steelseries 7G and regret it - it gave my hands severe cramp/ache/discomfort after about 30 minutes of playing. Went back to a cheapo Logitech and it's awesome.

Lol? it's called black mechanical switch. It's meant to have a lot of force to press any keys. Nice to see you found your old gear still useful though. Quoted from SteveyJJ

My housemate had to shout at me because my nerd mechanical typing skills was keeping her up one night. As nice as they are to type on, mechanical keyboards make a fair bit of noise.

That only depends on what switch, brown switches aren't too bad when it comes to noise but blue switches are a absolute killer. Quoted from atmo

Razer keyboards are shit, don't buy them.

Judge the product. Not the brand. The standard blackwidows is actually surprisingly nice on your wallet for a mechanical board. P.s. Razor blackwidow is actually 2KRO regardless of which model you get. Quoted from GibbZ

Get a filco majestouch. Best keyboard I've ever used and I honestly wouldn't trade it for anything. If there's one thing that's made gaming more comfortable, enjoyable and that makes a difference (especially in hon atleast) its a mechanical keyboard. So nice.

Filco's are some quality boards but they are pretty damn pricey. Also at the endo f the day you cannot just say 'it's good for gaming' especially when filco is involved not because they make bad boards but they make boards with all types of switches. Mechanical boards all come down to preference of switches. As with all gaming equipment however I say this: You can give a fisherman the best tennis racket ever, but it can mean he still sucks at tennis... badly. Skill>equipment but it does give an edge, just don't depend on it.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=20145&post=364267 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 07:10:59 +0100 Reply by atmo https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-20145/page-2/?recent=364372#post=364067 Quoted from WARHURYEAH

I have a Filco Majestouch, probably the best thing in the world, it feels solid and durable and I melt with every key stroke I make.

but does it have MX Reds I THOUGHT NOT enjoy not typing on a cloud of breasts cu@qlan]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=20145&post=364067 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 02:44:42 +0100 Reply by joaof19 https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-20145/page-2/?recent=364372#post=364060 Quoted from Shintaz
