Regardless, it looks nice, still more expensive than a Filco at that price. In my opinion, it just seems like a keyboard with a lot of unnecessary stuff tacked on. | ||

That is a total nonsense. IMO the keyboard can change no more than 3-5% of your performance and in the beginning it will even result in a drop due to the fact that you need to get used to it. The hype over mice and keyboards is so exagerated that I can't even describe it. Check some of the earliest Pimpest plays (2001 or 2002) and ask yourself 1 question - "Did those guys play on mice and keyboards exceeding $10?" And then the follow up - are you able to pull off what they did with your mouse and keyboard for over a $100 each? | ||

You really think that your post is going to make a difference in the choices people make on whether they get a mechanical keyboard? If you're expressing your views about the fact that you don't like such keyboards at their current price point, I think that would make a fine blog topic. Your post has no place in this specific forum. | ||
