Like even the keys are so easy to press just when im playing part of my hand might touch the backspace or ctrl and it just goes and off and then my centre screen is changed or I have some thign else hotkeyed T.T

The best thing is that I don't think i could ever not buy a tenkeyless now my mouse control feels so much better being able to have the mouse close to the key board now, also I don't know if this affect anything but i do like to hit the keys down pretty hard

When you hit the key down all the way its called bottoming out. Perfectly normal for most mechanical keyboard users. As sly said give it some time. The first time I got a new mech kb it took me two weeks to get used to it. If you still don't like it after like a week you can always return it.

anyone know what's the best keyboard I can get for arounr 70-80$ that isn't complete shit quality (no black widows....don't trust razer with their plasticky shit)

I really want a ducky or das , but they are both 120$+, and there is no way in hell im spending that much for a keyboard.

I recently bought a cherry mx blue DAS keyboard and it's not as great as I thought it would be.

Prior to getting this keyboard, I had been using steelseries 6gv2 for over a year. I thought the tactile feeling and the clicky clacky-ness of the blue switches would be satisfying but it's just "meh". I do enjoy the sound but I feel kind of sorry for my roommate because I tend to stay up late and I'm pretty sure my parents will be able to hear the keyboard from my room at our new house that we moved into... (room is across from parents).

I guess I'm too used to my cherry mx black switches that I bottom out way too much. And I also like to play FPS like CS 1.6.. and blues are god-awful for it.... for like sc2 and other games I play, I just think it's all the same. So many times I accidently press a key and I go some other direction. :/

I think I may return this keyboard before the 30 days is up.... so browns or reds? I've looked around a bit and apparently reds are really easy to "accidently" press down? I dunno help me out lol.

Well if you like blacks so much why not stay with them?

If you want some tactility then browns give that without some of the weaknesses of blues.

Reds are just lighter blacks.

I get bored of my blacks quickly too.

Browns are a good middle of the road switch. SS does/did make a 6gv2 with reds but im not sure how available it is.

CM quickfire rapid is a solid choice if you can live without a numpad.

Thinking of getting a KBT Pure keyboard.
http://kbtpure.com/index.php/vortex-kbt-pure-mechanical-keyboard-no-light-mx-brown-ansi.html
The images for that one look like its grey but the specs (and the image of the backing) say that it is black, can someone confirm that it is infact black and the images just have high contrast?

What's the point of getting a mechanical keyboard that feels like a membrane? Just get a membrane, no one will judge you for it. There are plenty of really good membrane keyboards out there for super cheap. A lot of BW pros use the Qsenn dt-35. Also the standard dell membrane keyboards are pretty good too.

I'm using a qsenn right now i tried a leopold fc700r with brown switches, but the keys were to easy to press down + they felt a bit small to me. Are the keys on a tenkeyless board smaller then the ones on a normal one? Plus I loved the tenkeyless and now i wish i could have a tenkeyless qsenn but alas they don't exist

Too easy to press down? That's a really weird complaint.

Try buckling spring switches, they're my second-favorite after Topres.

DT-35 is 10 times more tactile than a MX Brown switch with a small exaggeration. I bought DT-35 and after that wanted to test a mech keyboard, so I bought a Filco with browns. I too do feel that pretty much all the mech switches are too light or just don't feel very right, like the blacks IMO. The feeling of DT-35 is pretty much perfect for me and no mech keyboard can replace that feel.

Yeh this is how i feel but the tenkeyless is actually so good it's ridiculous so i wanted someone to reccomend me some that would feel more like the qsenn or somethign similiar i tried using my mech board for a week and 2 days and it never got any better. I was hitting like 90 wpm with it and within 1 hour of typing on my qsenn i was back to hitting 120 wpm
