so is the general consensus that blacks aren't great for SC2 ?

No, its all up the user and their tastes. There are a lot of progamers who use black keys, of note include iNcontroL, IdrA, and I believe White-Ra. There are more that I'm probably forgetting at the moment.

It's all a matter of personal preference.

I've heard and read a few things about the Zowie, and what I've gathered is the way the key caps are printed is that it tends to get a little dirty as time passes, but not like how other key caps get dirty.

Don't buy Zowie. The Space bar is just bad made there - sometimes just doesn't comes back up.

ended up buying a Filco Majestouch-2, Tenkeyless cherry brown for my first mechanical keyboard ... seemed like a pretty safe pick ... good choice for someone who had some extra money laying around ?

Yep, EG is sponsored by Steelseries (aka 6gv2, 6g, 7g, all black switches); White Ra by Thermaltake, aka Meka G1, blacks too.

I have to post this... but at the end of season one I was high diamond on the verge of getting into masters. When season 2 hit I was moving so didn't play much during that time and when I did play I got smashed, I was waiting to get demoted and had 0 points despite having 5 or so wins w/bonus pool.

I just got my Filco yesterday and am currently 14-2 using it. Gear doesn't make much of a difference but just the feeling of knowing your keyboard will be there for you seems to help a lot

Had a 6Gv2 before and just got a new DasKeyboard Ultimate Silent with Brown Switches and its just awesome, the 6Gv2 is not at all as good as the Das. Ofc its way more expensive but its worth the price, imo brown switches are much better for SC2 than blacks, they are just too stiff.

http://www.diatec.co.jp/en/det.php?prod_c=775 - This is a pic of it. No difference to yours except the placement of the print, which I think is kinda cool.

Yea, I know the feeling. I was refreshing my tracking info every 5 min.

Would recommend you a DasKeyboard, its available in German with both blue and brown switches, shipping is free. I had both the Zowie and the Das and I think the Das is much better.

I have red switchs on my Filco Majestouch 2 Tenkeyless. Wouldn't be able to give you a comparison though as I have not tried the other switches.

It's hard to try out mechanical keyboards in Canada so I read up on geek hack as much as I could. This link is wonderful for figuring out the differences of the Cherry MX switches.

http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Cherry switches and boards


Also the main wiki link they have to mechanical keyboards is fantastic!

I started using a red majestouch 2 and its my fav switch for sc2 - ive used blue, brown, and black before. red takes the cake for gaming (basically a lighter black switch - sooooo smooth) and is much better than blacks for typing for long periods (no fatigue) though I may still prefer brown/blue. after using all of these switches, I see no reason to go black unless you have a preference for a heavier switch.

linear for gaming (i prefer red over black) and tactile bump/click for typing. i should also add the blues drive me crazy when i game on them.

Is there an alternative to the keyboard company for the Filco Majestouch tenkeyless with brown (prefered) or blue cherry switches?

Preferably with a Swedish/Finnish layout but I'm not too bothered if its a french language setup or whatever as long as the layout of the keyboard is the exact same (same size/shape return key etc) as this:
http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard_details.asp?PRODUCT=807

I'd like to find a company within the EU that sells it since I'd get screwed on import taxes otherwise. I don't understand how the keyboard company stays in business when it seems like 90% of the stuff they sell isnt in stock and wont be for several months.

I wish Amazon would ship keyboards to Australia! Will need to look for a proxy address forwarding service

Actually I just found Das and Majestouch keyboards available in Australia at http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/products/1838/ - maybe a little pricey but at least its local.

Das Keyboards can be bought at pccasegear for around $140, which should be less than how much that website is offering.

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=das keyboard model s&x=0&y=0

Extra nice if you live in Victoria. I think they have a new office/warehouse near Monash University.
