I just received my CMStorm Quick Rapid (Cherry MX Blue) from NCIX, and I'm loving it. I was quite hesitant to buy a mechanical keyboard because I do believe them to be over priced. However, the quality of this over my cheap old Logitech keyboard is amazing. Not only is the sound nice, but the feel of the keys and keyboard itself are truly awesome. The tenkeyless part is nice and hasn't bothered me too much (the exception being that I can't use alt+codes for things like dashes, and the like).

Thanks for this, reading through all the pages helped me so much!

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


I think TT1 bought a topre board. No idea if he still uses it.

Happy hacking does look cool, but using caps as cntrl sounds awkward for sc2.

I already use caps as a hotkey, so I'm not sure. I just got one mechanical keyboard, and it's already an addiction ^___^

Be careful ripster, you have to troll a little bit more subtle because the policies here are pretty strict.

Planning on buying a filco, still not sure if its worth the 135 quid. How long would it last, taking in regard I never eat or drink near my pc and clean it twice a year or so.

IMO not worth the price tag but they are one of the best boards out there.

200R is the tenkeyless version. 500R is full-size. 700R is the new edition of the tenkeyless (currently not available for sale in North America).

The spacebars on all three versions have different mount configurations, making them incompatible with each other. Yes, even the 200R and 700R have incompatible spacebars. And all three are incompatible with Filco and friends (QuickFire, Rosewill, Poker, etc.)

Looking at this one right now: http://www.amazon.com/Das-Keyboard-Model-Professional-Mechanical/dp/B003M567V6/ref=pd_cp_e_0

It is $60 more than Razer Blackwidow. I've heard that the Razer keyboards have some quality control issues, but is Das S really worth almost double the cost?

I've been using SS 6gv2, but I honestly feel that the black keys are too stiff for me and I would also like to have tactile feedback. It's been an extremely reliable keyboard though, so I'm looking for same reliability + the tactile feedback of blue keys.
