Keyboard suggetions?

Post by fightinfrenchman »

So I'm finally building a computer for myself and I need to figure out what keyboard I should get. I have already decided on a mechanical keyboard but not sure on what specific ones. Give me some suggestions! (nothing really dumb and ugly) :ear:

Mechanical keyboards are great, you should aim something around 40$ at least if you want something decent.

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

if you don't want that RGB LED garbage, this is a decent alternative:

The logitech G910 is also on sale on amazon for $135, but it is bigger (includes a wrist rest). It's based on personal preference really.

I am actually a big fan of this apple keyboard: http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MB110 ... h?fnode=56
It is probably the best membrane/non-mechanical keyboard out there, and the short travel is very nice for typing speed and even gaming.

This one is really good, and I dont like ones that have number pads, so I recommended this one.

looks like a nice keyboard. I'm not sure that I like "clicky" keyboards but I don't touch type either. Have you used those media controls much?

Corsair keyboards are no good. Crap software: badly coded, high CPU usage, awkward interface and animations don't work without the software.
Get a cheap Mionix.

I've been enjoying my Das Keyboard 4 quite a bit so far. I like the look of nothing being written on the keys and the clickiness is very satisfying.

I'd say any grade is fine except for...
*wait for it*
BASEMENT tier stuff

ba-dum-tsss



P.S. do you sometimes forget which key is which without any markings?

He can always write the appropriate marking on the keys if he needs!

It depends on what your play-style and preference is with a mechanical keyboard.
If you type quick - go for a keyboard with Cherry-MX blues
If you like a good feedback from the keyboard - go with Cherry-MX brown

This guide can explain better than I can: http://www.keyboardco.com/blog/index.ph ... -switches/

Don't go with anything other than Cherry MX. The Razer keyboards have an ok Razer-Green switch, but thats really just a rip-off of a Cherry-MX blue.

As for my personal keyboard preference I prefer the Logitech G170+ over anything else I have used.
