I can't fully understand it, but even after owning multiple mechanical keyboards which include:

- das keyboard ultimate s
- blackwidow ultimate
- 6gv2
- filco tenkeyless brown
- meka g1
- qsenn dt 35

I feel that the marauder is the most comfortable and the quickest for me to play on. I don't know why I feel comfortable with using a non mechanical keyboard after using a lot of them..

A lot of people give the keyboard shit and mock it (although I agree 100 or so dollars for non mech sucks), it is really comfortable and I haven't seen my fingers move this quickly in a long time.

I can't tell if mechanical keyboards have a further push point to go down, I know the perks of them is that you are able to "verify" the key press, but even this marauder has a certain bump to it when you press a key (I always bototm out).

So yeah idk, random blog about a random unappreciated keyboard.

Also food for thought: Why do most Korean pros use non mechanical keyboards? (besides the fact that they are easily replaceable)


TLDR: idk man.

Yup, I enjoy rubber dome alot more, even my old HP crapboard feels better than MX blue switches. I just feel like my hand movements are ALOT more smooth and fluid on these keyboards, which is why I use a dt-35 now ^^.

I do like mechanicals for regular typing, feels nice, but def not for gaming.

Its kind of how I feel about my WASD, its my first keyboard, I don't think I will ever have anything like it again, I will end up trying the Q-senn and some others, but god do I love the WASD.

my only problem with the maruader which I love btw is that it's to small I would have liked it if the right side would be longer to fit arrow keys better. Though I will agree it feels pretty good.

That totally depends on the switches you're using. Blue switches have this bump, whereas linear switches (black/red) don't. I am currently using a mechanical keyboard and I love it. But you're right, it sometimes feels really good typing on a rubber dome keyboard.

Haven't tried the marauder, it's a little hard to get in Norway and I don't feel like ordering an expensive product i'm not even sure about over the internet.

Using a DT-35 atm, though, and if it's anything like that then it's probably really good.

OK so my filco majestouch 2 with blues came in just now.

It feels EXTREMELY different than my DAS...

I can't tell yet if it's good or bad but it makes a lot less click noise (its comparable to the noise of browns) and it feels really different.

Wtf I thought Filco was supposed to reign supreme at this shit.

EDIT: not to mention that it came in shitty packaging.

It almost feels like I need to break in the switches as if it were a black switch board.
