Did some reading on the links provided here, and as far as I can tell, the MX Black are the quietest of the Mechanical Switches? Can anyone verify that? Unfortunately, for my setup I'm going to need them to be as quiet as is practical with actual mechanic design. I think I would prefer something loud and tough, like the Buckling Spring, but that is not going to be in the works for me. Any advice about sound and switches, even specific makes? Thanks in advance. | ||

If you want to soften this - you can buy soft landing pads at EliteKeyboards, or something - but the actual keyswitch is silent (browns/blacks) its just that the bottom out cause noise The only mechanical keyboards with a wrist rest would be something like BlackWidow, but that uses Blues. It is also the cheapest mechanical keyboard. Browns = silent, tactile Blues = clicky, tactile Browns = silent, linear Even "silent' is clacky without soft landing pads. Specific makes: Razer BlackWidow (sponsors TL.net), Filco Majestouch 2 (Ninja if you want) MX Blues/Browns/Blacks. Das Keyboard if you like dust/fingerprint magnets. Most people who have typed on more than make usually recommend Filco. | ||

In terms of quality, Filco makes some of the best mechanical keyboards on the market. | ||

There's no 'best' switch, just one that suits you best. http://www.overclock.net/keyboards/491752-mechanical-keyboard-guide.html Have a read of that to see what switch you might want. | ||

Other brands i would recommend: DAS, Noppoo Choc Mini, Cherry corp, Ducky. Ive only heard awesome things about Realforce Topre switches, but they are so expensive, ive never tried them. If you can, i would heavily recommend trying out the switches to see which one you prefer. They all have quite a distinct feel to each of them. Brown or Red might be the best ones to start off with if you are unsure. I personally use Blues. | ||

I just think that 120+ euros is little bit too much for keyboard, but its my opinion >_> mechanical keyboards are expensive. rubber dome keyboards are not. | ||

I really like laptop keyboards, so from my reading about mechs, here's what I think I would like: - easy to click (so probably mx brown / red?) - low noise/silent - low price would be nice... (less than $100 I guess) So blue/black does not sound like it's for me. As for the layout and stuff, I'll just have a look at your recommendations. I live in the US. What do people think about this one? (with browns) | ||

So far, that one seems to fit all my criteria... But I'd still like more opinions/recommendations (especially about specific models and whether mx brown or red or whichever sounds like it would fit my preferences). | ||

1. I want to get a Mechanical keyboard 2. I want it to have Linear(Cherry MX Black/Red) switches 3. The keyboard must have a layout similar to that of a Das(i.e. no giant Enter key, no tiny Backspace) 4. I currently have a Saitek Cyborg, which is rather gigantic, and wouldn't leave much space on my future college dorm desk. A smaller keyboard would work wonders, especially one with a numpad. However, I can deal without an integrated numpad. Side notes: Backlighting is a big deal for me. I can get used to odd fonts, but I prefer normal ones. I would very much like mic/headphone ports somewhere. Thanks in advance for your help. Links to keyboards I have in mind: Deck Legend Deck 82 Zibal 60 Almost made a thread for this ^^ edit: made a thread for this | ||

However the Razer software is amazing. You can customize any key. The macro keys are easy to use. I'm just too used to a full-size. If you dont mind the smaller size, this is the best and most affordable mechanical keyboard | ||

It's production factory is at taiwan and exactly the same as the deskeyboard, so you can expect some great quality there. you can of cause take out the keys and replace with customised keys. (btw, if anyone needs to type essay often, don't get black because it is quite stressful for the fingers to apply great force for long time) | ||
