All nice and dandy until I want that 7th battle group.
that looks horribad for sc2.
i use steelseries 6gv2 and its awesome, i just got it the other day, but the only problem i have with it is that the "S" key is already starting to wear off. other than that its fucking AWESOME-O
Use grid, anyways it's more muscle memory of position you could use that for sc if you wanted probably have a large learning curb though
Cherry MX browns are feeling great so far. I used a DasKeyboard II with Blues before. They are a bit softer and do not have that "click + clicky point" like the blues... but they definitly feel great.. i would say even better for playing StarCraft than the Blues... but i guess that's just personal likes or dislikes.
The Zowie also feels great, heavy and solid case, some very long "rubber-lips" on the back side... and i mean veeeeeeeeeeeery long... guess it will never ever slip away by any mistake.
One little thing i dislike so far is that the signs on the keys feel like some sort of rubber or something, not lasered... so we will see in the future if they go away or get dirty quite fast or anything... but for all the rest, the keyboard feels just great !
Hey, I just received my Leopold F300R Red Switch with N-Key. Here is some pics, Pic of the package
I pre-ordered from leopold.co.kr so it came with extra bonus things (Blank Key Cap Set)
Picture of the keyboard in the package, no modify.
Picture of the keyboard where I modified it with blank key cap and colored key caps.
The keyboard it self cost about 130dollar but with extra color caps = $140 When I try to press the keyoboard, it feels really light and I've seen many cherry mx keyswitch sound test and it sounds very similar to brown.
I hope cherry mx red switch gets more popular than blue or brown which most people prefer ^^
Edit: All pictures were taken with my itouch, quality sucks.
I heard they were really light w/no or lesser "bump", which doesn't appeal to me. I'm getting browns, would get blues if I didn't have to worry about the noise bothering other people.
I used Saitek Eclipse II before I got this keyboard and I got used to the Leopold keyboard in like what? 10mins? I never understood what bumps blue and brown has but it does feel light and I'm sure you don't want a heavy one? lol^^
Is my current keyboard, its a pink filco majestictouch cherry mx brown switch. I know the j and the k keys are the wrong way round, changed them after taking the photo. The black keys are from my old steelseries 7g, the keys are pretty much the same height and work really well together.
Question, do the tenkeyless keyboards also reduce the size of the main keyboard at all? Don't mind missing the numpad, but don't want to type on a smaller actual keyboard.
About 4 months ago I finally replaced my old Saitek Eclipse that I had owned for about 3 years with a Logitch G110. Everything was pretty much fine and dandy until I started playing more Starcraft...and learned more about mechanical keyboards.
Basically for the past month or two I've been thinking of getting a mechanical keyboard. I tossed around the idea of something more expensive like a Das or one from elitekeyboards (filco etc), but for my needs I figured that a regular Blackwidow would do just fine, especially since it's been getting quite a bit of praise (compared to Razer's other keyboards which I would never think of buying).
So I took a trip down to Fry's today and picked one up. Definitely enjoying the experience of typing with it so far. Only thing I miss is not having backlighting, but I wasn't about to pay the ~$50 more to get the Ultimate version.
Only question I have for those of you who own this keyboard- do you use a wrist rest with it? The little lip on the front is nice, but I haven't figured out if getting some sort of wrist rest would work well with it.
Edit: Also, has anyone used any of those colored replacement WASD keys (like the ones from elitekeyboard or das's website) with this keyboard? If so, do they work well? (shape and height wise?)

They are standard cherry-style keycaps and should work fine.

Nope, the keys on a standard tenkeyless (such as a Filco or a Leopold) have the same size as a regular full-size keyboard would. But something like a Noppoo Choc Mini or a KBC Poker has the keys packed tighter together if I'm not mistaken. Not that it changes the layout drastically, the keys would still be the same size. Just closer together.

Reds are lighter than browns and have linear switches. Thus explaining why your friends have that reaction. Reds are considered to be the best gaming switches (in FPS) for those two reasons.

Congrats on your purchase! I hope that you're enjoying your new investment. Definitely an upgrade from any rubber dome keyboard!
As far as the replacement keys, any type of cherry replacement key (WASD clusters, custom ESC keys, etc.) will fit on any cherry switch keyboard regardless of switch type. Blue, brown, black, red, they will all fit as long as it's a cherry switch.

Finally caved, preordered a Leopold with brown switches from Elitekeyboards. Not expecting to get mine in the first heat that's supposed to come out next week, but hopefully...soon.
Does anyone know a similar keyboard feeling,texture,key caps like Qsenn DT-35? DT-35 has a higher key button than other membrane keyboards and texture on the keyboard it self. So it is different than most of membrane keyboards. What keyboard similar to DT-35 that is good for sc2 and sells in US? Yes, I'm looking for a membrane keyboard where its cheap.=]
