looking at the diagrams i would say that blues and browns are almost the same tbh. browns are just less "clicky" ... so that discussion is kinda senseless imo.
i'm using a dasKeyboard II atm with blues, but recently ordered a Filco with browns.
So i can tell you exactly what difference i feel than

This is probably the best keyboard for Starcraft IMO. Blue switches of course. Even has the option to set the caps lock key to L-Ctrl with the switch lock key.


nice keyboard, I can't wait to get my filco brown, hopefully it will arive by end of the week

Switched from a Logitech G19(Yes I know. Terrible) To a Filco Majestouch(brown) and whenever I use another keyboard I sorta feel like I am dying on the inside. So frustrating.

Does anyone else suffer this since switching to mechanical from membrane?

Once you type on a mechanical keyboard and get accustomed to it, it's very difficult to go back to a membrane keyboard. There is a lack of response in pressing the keys as well as it being a lot harder to get the keys to register once you get used to the lighter actuation.

Since using my Filco, I've been able to increase my WPM around 10-15 words. I tried going back to a membrane keyboard just to feel the difference; I couldn't stand typing on the board for more than 15 seconds. I immediately wished I had the Filco back under my fingers.

My friend just received is Black widow cherry MX blue's mechanical keyboard. I gotta say wow it's fun typing on that I did find it a little weird / hard to play SC2 at first not because of the keys or the mechanical part. But because of the layout, I think the keys are a little off to one side by like a 1 cm and the macro keys on the side makes me think my hand is not well placed. But a few games and I'll get used to it.
I just orderd a Steelseries 6GV2 for me. Should receive it this week. Can't wait to test out that one.

Same with headfi, but with headphones lol. Waiting for the leopolds to come in, don't feel like preordering. Actually might go with filcos, on amazon they come out about the same cause I don't have to pay shipping on amazon but do for the leopolds.

Leopolds + shipping is still cheaper than Filcos from amazon with free shipping. but the $10-20 difference isnt that much. get a Filco now with one switch and then get a leopold (when they arrive) with a different switch :D

Totally agree with you on that. Just switched from a Saitek Eclipse to a Filco Majestouch (brown) and I don't think I can ever go back. I've only had the Filco for a day now, but what a difference!

Don't have that kind of money lol. Will just wait for the Leopolds to come in, see if there are any first impression horror stories, and then buy.

I really want this keyboard because of how close the F keys are to the numbers, but I can't find one with brown switches : (

Just got the newer U9BL-S backlit with brown switches (currently the only one of its kind). I am enjoying it much more than my Filco...so far. I'll be posting up a review and comparison in the next few days, but I believe it is the best backlit mechanical available by far.

I finally ordered Leopold F300R Red Switches and I preordered it so its coming with no letter cap set.
I will probably upload a image of the keyboard once I get it in my hand.

Nice! I heared a lot of positive feedback on the Cherry MX Reds. Im using Browns and I still like it but the Reds is even better they said so I am actually waiting for Noppoo Choc Mini in Reds or a keyboard with the same key layout as Noppoo

So I got my first mechanical keyboard today, a SteelSeries 6Gv2. Needless to say, I wish I had known about mechanical keyboards sooner. I initially impulse bought the 6Gv2 when I heard SS was having a 30% discount. I didn't know anything about switch types then, so I was apprehensive after learning that I purchased one with the most resistant keys. I won't lie, the key presses do feel heavier than any other keyboard I've used. It's kind of hard to describe; it's not difficult to have the keys register, but if you try to bottom them out, it feels like you're pressing through a layer of syrup.

I feel like this isn't the keyboard for people who rest their arm and wrist flush against the desk while they type because in that position, your fingers do all the work and bulk of that 60g of force kicks in. Otherwise, it's a fine keyboard. Miles better than a membrane keyboard, but not the most optimal choice for sc2 (if you're a relatively fast player) or if you regularly type non-stop for long periods of time.
