they look cheap, they look like a 5dollar keyboard, if i will pay 100+ dollar most be something special. The Razer Blackwidow looks Special, a friend of u can go to ur home and see your Filco or g6v2 and wont notice anything since those keyboard look borring... and then u will tell him test it, he will feel good, but at what price? 100+ dollar for a keyboard that just look like my 5year old keyboard? no way. | ||

The problem i see with all this Mechanical keyboard apart from Razer they look cheap, they look like a 5dollar keyboard, if i will pay 100+ dollar most be something special. The Razer Blackwidow looks Special, a friend of u can go to ur home and see your Filco or g6v2 and wont notice anything since those keyboard look borring... and then u will tell him test it, he will feel good, but at what price? 100+ dollar for a keyboard that just look like my 5year old keyboard? no way I see it the other way around honestly. I dont really need my keyboards to have flashy lights all over them , logos or other shit. Its the feel. I'm not saying the looks dont / cant / shouldnt appeal to others but for me... Im never going to just sit and look at my keyboard. Just type on it  In that same sense I dont buy mousepads / mouses or other stuff because they're handsome but because they fill a function I like.I finally settled on a Filco Majestouch with brown switches. Now the waiting game begins... | ||

I am thinking to buy a new mechanical keyboard with the brown switches. However since I live in New Zealand, many of the brand such as Filco and Das aren't available as far as I can tell. So I need to look for alternative brands such as razor or steelseries, some of the more common ones here. Anyone know any good ones that they would recommend? Lots of keyboards From what I understand they ship to au / nz. | ||

If so, you can get it from pchome, a taiwanese webstore that does international shipping for $20 max. UK version u can check with keyboardco, they are very helpfull. | ||

Yeah, I mean, it's as if you're buying a product that sells on quality and reliability alone. I like a product that sells on its aesthetics and LED lights. When I buy a computer, I don't look at the spec sheets, I just buy the tower with the most stickers on it. Here is my current rig: ASRock MoBo - 2 flashing lights and 3 stickers CPU - 0 flashing lights and 4 stickers GPU - 4 flashing lights and 7 stickers PSU - 2 flasing lights and a spinny fan HDD - 3 flashing lights and 8 stickers RAM - 4 flashing lights and 2 stickers Keeping a high flashing lights to stickers ratio is really important, because everyone knows if your sticker count overtakes your flashing light count it is time to upgrade! | ||

What about razer? I bet next year they will have like 10 more keyboards, and no one would know what is Black Widow lol. | ||

You basically have to relearn writing English on a keyboard Oh, and I hate the way it feels, I keep miss clicking. But it was $160 so I don't want to stop using it >_< Try selling it, it's still a good keyboard that other people want. Assuming it's in good condition, then buy something else- sounds like you don't like cherry blacks, so check out blues or browns. Geekhack.org has a really good classifieds section and I think it would be pretty easy to sell there. | ||

I have been playing sc2 and working on my manuscript for almost three weeks on my mechanical keyboard (brown switches). My conclusion on this keyboard is I never want to buy a membrane keyboard again. Also If you give me the most fancy keyboard with media keys and lights that blink all the rainbows and awesome design... I dont care anymore because it can not match the feel when you press each key with your fingers. And by the way you can always style your keyboard with collored keycaps. ^^The looks on the Filco or g6v2 is your opinion but the case of the filco or other decent mechanical keyboards cannot be compared to a case of a membrane keyboard. Maybe you should try a filco out it is worth to try it out ^^ | ||

Honestly if you're buying a keyboard so you can impress your friends with it's bulkiness and some backlights you're going about it the wrong way. | ||
