I find it appalling how so many underestimate the human brains ability to adapt, and adapt quickly. Just because you've used it for X amount of years doesn't mean it won't take less than a day to adapt to a new keyboard. Give it a day or two and you're back to your old form, and possibly even better since the new keyboard is supposed to be better than the old one. | ||

But given that the SC2 guys, a lot of them at least are BW guys, and that they are changing, is it because they changed keyboards during the change from BW--->SC2. Though if you watch the GSL, a lot of BW guys still use the DT-35. (NaDa, MKP for example). if you watch the progaming house tour videos by artosis, you'd see that at least 50% of the people are still using dt-35s. There's a lot of hype around mechanical keyboards imo. Keyboards are just keyboards - if they're made half decent, I find them to be mostly on the same levels of quality. | ||

What makes DT-35's so popular amongst korean gamers? Is it just because that they are used to it when they transitioned over from BW? | ||

Come on, the QSenn isnt bad but you will get just as functional a keyboard if you just buy a super standard microsoft keyboard (well, I dunno what the current iteration of their bog standard keyboard looks like, but used to be you could get a good one). | ||

Haven't used any other keyboard though. | ||

Thing is that it costs anywhere between five to ten times the price of a Qsenn, and I have no way of testing a Qsenn. Where are you buying from? I believe the the cheapest you can get a DT-35 for in the United States is $35+sh whereas the BW is like $70+sh (or $50+sh or $60 if Newegg or Fry's ever gets that deal again). If that is the case, then I highly suggest the BW, as the DT-35 can be bought for like $15 (I'ze seenz it with my own eyes!) on Taobao so you are getting much more value out of your money. If not, then I would recommend go DT-35 or go Filco/Das/Rosewill/Leopold. One of the reasons why the DT-35 is so prized is because it is completely solid. BW? Not so much, with the macro keys, shifted function keys (seriously, who the HELL thought that was a good idea?), and the batches of keyboard that didn't turn out so well with multiple key presses. If you can get a DT-35 for a reasonable price (and I love StarCraft Mecca, but $35 is NOT a reasonable price for the keyboard), then I would go DT-35. If you absolutely love the mechanical aspect of the BW, then I'd say go for something better than a BW. You won't regret going the extra mile one bit, and you can laugh at the minority of BW users who absolutely regret getting it. | ||

You can kill a bear with a stick, but i wouldn't advise trying it. But for an analogy on topic, I think some of them also used ball mice which i don't think anyone will touch for competitive play now days. A lot of people stick with what they are used to despite being inferior because they are used to it. Swapping a mouse takes awhile to get used to for instance. Keyboards are too, to a lesser extent. | ||

I was looking for more of a review that would compare it to the qsenn. In the end I just went "screw it, im getting the blackwidow". | ||
