I'm looking to buy my first mechanical keyboard.

Does anyone have experience with a Qpad MK-50?
It's rather cheap and has red switches, which I think I'll want.

Filcos are fantastic indeed. My friends prefer the Blackwidow Ultimate because they say the Filco looks so plain and boring for what you pay T_T

Fools don't know Filcos are like the understated and reliable keyboards of the mechanical world.
Do you need a pole? I ask because your logical leaps are becoming logical vaults and your mental gymnastics are Olympic standard.

The keyboard company is very respectable. Here is a link to their amazon store with ratings.

You should have no problems ordering thru keyboard company.

Nice, now you just have to go through the wait of shipping. It will be worth it when you get that filco, such a nice board.

Hmm.. I really can't decide which switches to get.

The overclock.net guide distinguishes between good for gaming and good for typing. But doesn't gaming in this context mean: Hold down the key for an extended period of time. While typing means short keystrokes.

In SC2 you do mostly short keystrokes, so wouldn't a typing keyboard be better?

Correct me if I'm talking bullshit =)

It's all up to your preference. I'm using blue switches for everything and I'm happy with it. I couldn't use linear switches. They're weird.

Geekhack was hacked, they are in the process of getting the site back up.
There is a subforum over at deskthority for geekhack members here is the link where you can find info on group buys and site updates.

Best choice in my opinion. If I hadn't watched Destiny's stream so much and fallen in love with how that keyboard sounds, I'd probably have gotten browns, too.

Irony at it's finest right there.
Does any well known player use a keybaord with topre keyswitches?
And does anyone have experience with happy hacking keyboards? They look so slick :3
