Filco majestouch 2 brown switches here. 6gv2/7g/blackwidow/ultimate are easier to get/cheaper. Filco's/ducky's/das/zowie celeritas etc etc are harder to find cost more money but are better quality. they are all good but some have benefits over the others. yes das looks nice when u get it. attracts fingerprints.

also the thing i found out from switching from normal keyboard to mech is that there is a difference but the biggest difference is when go back to a normal keyboard (work/school) thats just fukking horrible.

I just got a Das Keyboard Professional Silent (with Cherry MX Brown switches) and it is AMAZING to both type and game on. My forcefields are 1000% better (this may be partially due to the awesomeness of my new keyboard and partially due to the 'F' key not actually working all the time on my old one ). I love that I can feel pretty much just when the key is actually pressed, unlike my old keyboard.

I do however miss the volume buttons on the side of the keyboard as I currently have my computer plugged through my guitar amp and if I unplug my headphones I need to drastically dial down the sound so as not deafen' my mrs/wake my daughter.


I set my F11 and F12 to volume down and up on my filco with SharpKeys, this made my Filco far more usable.

Steelseries is by far the cheapest and most keyboard for the price but if you wanna go up a bit Razer blackwidow is good and also Thermaltake has some nice keyboards

I'm looking for a filco with Cherry Mx-Blues that ships to the US, really prefer a version with the keypad. Can anyone help me find anything in stock, or recommend another?

that would be the filco majestouch2 with blue keys. filcos usually have browns and i didn't find a distributor that has it in stock with blues. maybe you should go with a DAS or a black widow, both of which are usually the primary choices when it comes to blue keys.

Hello TeamLiquid forum people,

After the slow death of my Razer Lycosa, i'm currently looking for a new keyboard, specifically a mechanical keyboard. After reading reviews and stuff, i've currently got a budget of 80 euros, or around 110 dollars. I have decided against another Razer product as i've not had great experience of them, so I believe the blackwidow to be out of the question, i've been looking at the Steelseries 6gv2, but have yet to decide. I was just wondering if any of you could help me out by recommending a keyboard, with the price of about 110 dollars with cheap if not free shipping to England.

Thanks

I find the DAS keyboard to be too much for my price range. I would love to buy one but the shock of buying a 130 euro keyboard + shipping would make me cry.

According to DAS keyboard themsleves, the offical european supplier is getdigital.de - And they seem to be very expensive.

http://www.getdigital.de/products/Das_Keyboard_Model_S

A proffesional UK would set me back 129 euros, which, according to google is 181 dollars. Plus shipping as well, as it's from Germany. It's not that cheap!

I am leery of buying the G6v2 as it does not have a hand rest. Do any of you TL'ers have any recommendations for alternatives to the G7? I have seen the Razer equivalent, but I have been skeptical, seeing my past Razer experience has been pretty miserable with defective products and the like. Price isn't really a concern, as long as it isn't astronomically expensive.

Any advice/input would be appreciated.

I've got the Razer equavilent and i am very much pleased with it. I recommend it fully. The only thing is that if you are concerned about disrupting people on different LANs this is not the keyboard for you since it has a very loud, clicky noise.

The keycaps will wear out within 6 months of heavy use, 1 year of medium use.

Filco keycaps will go shiny in about 6 months of heavy use

Leopold keycaps will not go shiny
