1) Are cherry blue switches really that loud? I really like the way they feel but if they are that could really be a problem as my sister's room is right next to mine and I usually end up gaming pretty late some nights. To give an idea I've played my electric guitar ampless some nights and it woke her up 2) Do they offer comfort or like anti- carpal tunnel benefits? I realize they make your fingers less tired and all but this has never really been that much of a problem for me (using a laptop keyboard) except for like 4-5+ hours. However I can see myself ramping up playing time dramatically at any time 3) Does anyone find that the cherry mx black switches tire their fingers out? I like the look of the steelseries 6gv2 but I feel like I'd be more inclined to a cherry red switch board if I were to start putting serious hours in...(any thoughts on corsairs keyboards?) | ||

The problem with blues is that they aren't so loud, but the click is very high pitched so it could be quite irritating. 2) If you have a properly set up playing space, you shouldn't worry about carpal tunnel and yes, all mechanical switches will be more comfortable to type on. 3) I'd never reccomend a black switch board to anyone new to mech keyboards, as they are just too stiff for an average user (so it's not only you). | ||

WASD is great, the case isn't quite as nice as a Filco but gets the job done. The customisation is awesome, and they lube all the stabilisers before they send them out (so no squeaky keys like on my filco) | ||

Does it need lubing? Will this fix it? http://www.amazon.com/DeoxIT®-FaderLube-F100-Spray-NSN-6850-01-477-1562/dp/B0002EHP66/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333419769&sr=8-1 not sure how safe that is on plastics, even though it says plastic to metal use. I would still go with the stuff offered on elitekeyboards http://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,misc&pid=mechlube | ||

Take a toothpick and just get the tip covered and apply worked for me.

It seems to be difficult to simply change the caps lock key on the newer keyboards (people don't make that keycap or it doesn't fit). you could edit the keyfunction to be disabled so you wouldn't have problems even when slightly touching it, another thing would be is to take the keycap off (What I do along with my windows key) | ||
