Im a fan of research what you want, write down your findings. Then come back to the findings in a week, if they make sense then go for it, if they don't its time for more research. | ||

Also I'm incredibly excited because as I checked inside the numpad 0 key I noticed that the spring was curled up so i took a knife and managed to straighten it and now that key works perfectly as well! ^_^ So now the keys are in proper places, every key works and the feel is amazing. =) Tomorrow I'll just need to clean this and it'll be gorgeous. | ||

A good portion of the reviews I read said that the spacebar on the keyboard is all weird and mushy, though. A few other people said that the spacebar was just fine. Can anyone confirm if the spacebar is supposed to be different? I have never used the Celebritas before, but I know some keyboards have different switches for their spacebar because the company believes it will accomodate the unconscious larger force exerted from the thumb. Ducky keyboards tend to do this a lot. | ||

Ok, but that's not a problem at all, considering most gaming keyboards use blacks. I have literally never touched a mechanical keyboard, and I've been using the same membrane kb for 9 years, so anything would be an improvement. | ||

It's not a fault of the manufacturer; It's simply a design choice. Realforce does a similar thing with their topre boards where switches your reach for have a weaker force gradiation. | ||

So who to believe ? Do note that the function keys are rubber dome. (As well as the ins/home group of keys). Might be weird to play Starcraft on a keyboard where the function keys feel different compared to your other keys. | ||

So who to believe ? Wow if it's for that price then maybe..just maybe...it can be considered??? I really think quality wise there are better keyboards out there....but in the end it's up to you. Do you like the red mechanical switches? | ||

No idea ^^ But for someone that as never touched a mechanical keyboard, is there really a huge difference between red and brown ? Which keyboards do you have in mind, when you talk about better quality ? | ||

The corsair k60 seem to be a good compromize between style and performance, I just want to know if anyone experienced any major flaws with it | ||

Its build quality is actually quite decent if you can live with the rubber dome keys in the top, it's even pretty nice to clean due to how the keys are mounted on it. It's not as bad as some people make it out to be, but I'd personally go for a more solid board. | ||

But the design is very cool, its pretty easily the most interesting looking mech keyboard. So if you can get it for a good price, like reds and aren't mortified by the rubber dome keys then go for it. | ||
