I though I pushed the key but actually it is not the case (for instance to make a group of units). It is very embarassing. I don't blame my keyboard (6G is very good anyway). It is mostly because of me. However i do need a keyboard with lighter keys. I suppose it would fit better with my style.

The black switches are fairly hard to press down on, and might not suit everyone especially in RTS. I suggest you look into a keyboard with either red, blue or brown switches. | ||

Red, blue and brown switches are "smoother" keys than Steelseries 6G black switches ? My budget is about 40-45€. Do you have any idea of keyboards which would suite me better than 6G for this prize ? | ||

The Razer Blackwidow is about in your price range, may need a little more though for shipping depending on where you order it from. It uses cherry blues. (My personal favorite for SC). | ||

The Razer Blackwidow and the 6Gv2 are both at about 80€, and I don't know of any mechanical keyboards that are cheaper, so you might have to spend a little more. | ||

Blues less expensive because of black widow, but here, XArmor U9 Brown Cherry Razer Black Widow is cheapest blue around Mechanical keyboards do not sell for 40-45 as they use metal springs not shitty Rubber Domes. | ||

Blue switches are LOUD, so make sure you don't mind the loud clicks and that the people around you won't complain. Browns or reds are probably the best bets if you don't like the high activation force of blacks, but reds are expensive. Personally, though, the 6Gv2 is a good keyboard and I don't prefer it much less than my browns. if you live in australia. http://www.mechkeyboards.com/9000.html reds are the same price as blue/black/brown. | ||

The build quality and general feel of the keyboard is over the top, you will not be dissapointed! That board should last last you about a lifetime, as long as you treat her nice.  | ||

Brown switches will suit better to me than black switches. Is the difference large between both switches ? Brown are largely much smoother than Black ? I have a last question : Filco keyboard do not have a support for your hand. Isn't it a little unconfortable when you play ? | ||

There are those 120 wpm typists which perhaps translates into 600 apm or so? If they can use blue switches, they cannot be that bad. I myself never had problems with my keyboard that uses blue switches, but I am not fast. The best personal example I have is, I did not have problems with that weird double-tap movement in Unreal Tournament. | ||
