In short Filco, Das, Leopold, CM Storm Rapid Fire, Noppoo choc mini are the keyboards in pretty much that order are much safer buys. Also get browns or blues much nicer for typing eventhough reds are much better than membranes and close to browns I feel the tactile bump is really good for typing and control in starcraft 2. Also all of the above have proper N-Key Roll over and around12 key roll over via USB (N key for the choc mini). | ||

If you have a lot of money to throw around, pick up a Filco (around 160-170 shipped, most easily sourced from a gentleman in the UK [keyboardco.co.uk]) or a Leopold (around 140~ shipped to Canada, not sure about US; he is based in California [www.elitekeyboards.com]). The build quality of both of these brands is almost identical. If you are on a budget and want a keyboard that blows 150 dollar Logitechs out of the water, pick up a Black Widow, or even a Steelseries 6Gv2 (mechanical but the switches are stiffer and non-tactile, which some people may prefer). Remember, you spend a lot of time on the computer, and typing comfort is very important. You probably don't know it, but if you are using a rubber dome keyboard, you truly are missing a whole world of comfort. A mechanical keyboard is one of the most worthwhile investments you will ever make. @CorsairHero: They should feel about the same as the other keys. There is probably something wrong with it. Give Razer a call! | ||

BW's seem to be a bit better in that department, if for no other reason than because they use Cherry switches and Cherry switches are quality, even if Razer is not. I do know people who have had them for a long time with no problems, but since you can get the better keyboards for the same price I don't know why you'd go for them, unless macro keys are a must or something. | ||
