I wanted to try one, but they keep running out of ISO layouts all the fucking time. So I got fed up and ditched them. TT

awesome pick up sponsor.

But i still will always feel "gaming/mechanical" keyboards are no different than any other keyboard.
You dont need a fancy-shmancy $100+ keyboard to get into GM or anything.

Its honestly a state of mind how you feel about one.

They need to stop the shit dubstep in the beginning of all their videos. It is so bad...

Anyways, nice! I'd opt for reds, imo they are the fastest.

This is factually false. The keyboards are obviously very different; that said, you are correct, the performance of most players would be almost completely independent of the keyboard used (within reason).

Into Korean GM? Most players there are pros, and they all carefully choose their keyboards and mice.

But more generally, you are right -- a player can be very good (not sure about GM, but probably mid-masters) and not use custom equipment. Past a certain level, however, equipment can affect the results, even if nowhere near as strongly as the player's practice regiment, talent, coaching, attitude, psychology, and similar factors.

What does this sentence mean? If you are trying to say "there is no measurable difference between player performance with generic and custom keyboards" - this is factually false, almost all professionals use custom keyboards, frequently unrelated to their sponsors. And there is a good reason for this.

Is it true that mechanical keyboards wear out and if so how long can a 5 hour a day gamer expect one to last?

My one year old mechanical has written several dozen pages of essays plus some other class work. I play video games at least 3 hours a day if not much more. I can really say my keyboard feels fresh-out-of-the-box new whereas a rubber-dome one would be getting softer keys and who knows what else. Mechanical keyboards can also be very easily and very thoroughly cleaned.

I see a many positive experiences with the WASD Keyboard in this thread alone. The base models also looks like it costs less than a Das Keyboard which I own and paid something like 130. That is a pretty good reason to purchase it IMO

The keys WASD are usually reserved for FPS games. No problem though

As far as keyboard looks go, this seems to be the premier site right now, unless there is a site that allows you to dye the base of the keyboard as well.

To be objective though, they keyboards don't even seem to have media player function-keys on F1-F6 like just about all mechanical keyboards (even the 6gv2) have. Hopefully it's just me not being able to find any declaration that they have the function, cause if you're behind the 6gv2 at this point in time,..

I heard TB mention something about a "version 2" coming. Hopefully that's when they include these function keys (if they're currently missing), along with NKRO on usb.

Apparently they have indeed included media keys, but not on F-keys:

Multimedia keys were frequently requested, but we didn't like the way this was implemented on other keyboards. The hotkeys were generally set up in a way that either required two hands or required you bend and twist your hand around in unnatural ways. We positioned our hotkeys in the Ins, Del, Home, End, PgUp, PgDn cluster. It's designed for you to press the Fn/Menu Key with your right thumb so you use your middle and ring fingers to comfortably access the multimedia hotkeys.

Thanks for finding that =) Seem like this keyboard is going to go all the rage then!

I've been strongly considering new keycaps for my Das, this might push me over the edge. Is there a way to say during checkout "thanks for sponsoring Axiom" or the like?
Theory is when you know everything but nothing works. Practice is when everything works but no one knows why. In our lab, theory and practice are combined: nothing works and no one knows why.
