if you like reds, blacks are worth it if you have a problem with reds being too light. If they're fine for you don't get blacks. Non-linear switches might be fun to try but what do you mean with prove?

Hey guys! i want to know your opinion. Currently i'm using a cm storm rapidquickfire red switch. I haven't used any other switch leaving reds aside. So is it worth getting a ttmeka to try with blacks? or definetely should i try with a non-linear switch now?

What do you guys think? does anyone have these two switches? if so, which one do you prefer for different activities?


If you already have linear i would give tactile a chance, although I do love blacks.

Just picked up a TT Meka G1. The blacks aren't as bad as some comments make them out to be. Or maybe it's just I'm used to light keystrokes having used brown switches before so I don't really bottom out on the blacks.

Relegating my brown switch keyboard to office work then. Light enough for the typing I have to do all day.

LOL. Hellion MOUSE with cherry mx blue switch. Epic. Now our mice is gonna all become mechanical and it's gonna be the new shit :D Wonder how it will work. If you have to press it down alot for it to register it will be horrible for gaming imo.

My right alt and ctrl keys aren't working for my filco blues. Can't find any fixes, tried using different usb ports, cleaning out the keyboard of dust, removing keycaps to check whether the keys were damaged, etc.

I went to a store and found a HELLION mouse on display and I played around with it. TBH I find that pretty useless because the mechanical blue switch is on the side button....to me that looks pretty useless. I don't know what other people think about that. The design and grip of the mouse is also very awkward for me...

I was wondering about this since I watched the Iron Lady Leetgion tournament. I honestly though the cherry blue switch was on the left and right clicker of the mouse, dissapointed to hear it's on the side only. Either way I was still skeptical of how that would play out on a comfort level. I like the idea, but I think clickers now are fine the way they are and that they are just using a marketing idea.

If it's just those keys I would argue the mechanical switches are damaged. Unless you spilled water recently in that area or something, but even then I would imagine that more keys would be affected, not just two.

If I recall the switches in most mice for the main clicker are a mechanical switch type, forget which type, but they are indeed mechanical. Every wondered why it clicked when you clicked it? And they don't feel like shit like rubber domes do.

Did you know the mouse is intended to be used for Sc2? It's made for ''kiting, hit and run'' more easier. Instead of A move and run you can use that button.



It's so bad and useless, it's way easier and more accurate to use A move, move and stop etc.

1:20 in the video, look how bad that is...

I don't understand how that would be useful anyway. It's not like you have anything else to do with your keyboard hand than to hit A when you're microing :D
And even if you're very good at like macroing between stutter steps (which only the very top players can do well anyway), it still requires a lot of coordination, so if you're able to do that with an extra mouse button, you're probably able to do it with a keyboard key instead.

Hey guys, I just bought my first mech keyboard 3 days ago and so far so good. It's Razer BW ultimate(like the only mechanical KB that I can find here). I tried regestering the product on their website and it says that the serial of my keyboard was already registered. What does this mean? Does it indicate something? Should I just let it be and just ignore it? I bought it brand new and it looks/works perfectly/properly.

Yeah I totally need this mouse for Starcraft 2 now because I have a Cherry board with MX blue switches and a CM Storm QFR with MX black switches and both A keys on my keyboards are broken so I need that MX blue switch on the mouse to attack move. = =

It means you got scammed and won't get a warranty for your keyboard.

Does anyone know where I can get a keyboard with the korean alphabet on it along with the english alphabet like my qsenn dt35? I know some Leopold's have it, but I emailed elitekeyboards and haven't heard back yet and not exactly sure if paypal works on the leopold website or how much shipping would run.

Did you buy it from a retail store? I would have a hard time believing the store would rip you off on that. Though if it was a second-handed deal, I wouldn't be surprised. Personally if I was in your situation I would contact Razer support and see what's up.
