Mechanical Keyboards - Good Info Guide

As there was a bit of talk lately about Mech keyboards and what not in a couple of threads...

A great guide/info to help you decide what might be best for you if you didn't already know about it:

Just remember when it comes to the models, it does not list everything. Whilst the thread does get updated, i know there are other brands available out there over and above whats in the list.

I'm going to grab a new keyboard i think in the near future, so refreshing my memory by reading this was handy

On the subject of keyboards, anybody know of any keyboard that is bulid like a tank like one of those old school IBM ones?

Think I must have destoryed 3 K/Bs already everytime I rage quit...

I've got a G110 and it's copped a pounding.

It's also t!ts for WoW if that's your thing. The G keys = ezymode.

A G110 isn't a mech keyboard...

I mean my G15 has taken a pounding as well, even taken a few beers being poured over it and still works...

But i use my mech board @ work, and then am resentful going home to a dome/membrane keyboard as the mech is soooo much nicer.

Like they say, once you've had black

I just got one of these today.. It was between this one and the Steelseries 7G for me.

I chose the Black Widow because the keys are back-lit, and because it has the 'clicky' blue cherry switches, which I like the feel of. The Steelseries has brown switches which are similar in feel but lack the click.

It's a noisy bastard though, hahah!

I geeked it up when I built my PC and bought a Corsair Vengence K90 and a Steelseries Sensei gaming mouse. Love them both.

Mechanical keyboards are ftw!

I've still got the same one that came with my pc 11 years ago

I should probably give it a clean.

Mech keyboards FTW!

I'm running 2 on my PCs, main rig's got a Ducky DK 1008L(brown cherry) while the download rig's got a Filco Majestouch Ninja(black cherry).

Love em to bits!

+1 for mechanical keyboards, I have 3 now, 1 brown for work, 1 black for home, and 1 red for LANs.

If anyone is wondering what colour switch to get and you don't know anyone with one to test, start with an brown I reckon, good all rounder

lights have started failing in my black widow after 12 months

[SoFreshSoClean]

Yeah, I had to sell mine because my computer is in the living room in my new house - was just too damn noisy!!

Got one of these now, and it's even better than the BlackWidow
