Maybe red switches aren't the right thing for you. For someone who hasn't used a mechanical before I'd suggest browns.

If you're new to mechanical keyboards, you should probably go for MX blues. They'll be the biggest difference from a rubber dome. Unless you go buckling spring that is.

I would agree on this. Browns have a similar feel to reds. Actually they feel like dirty and rusty reds.

For you in Canada, I bet the cheapest is going to the newegg page and searching for "rosewill mechanical keyboard", and seeing if one of them is reduced price at the moment.

Where did you get the caps from ?

Did you actually read through all of the old posts? o.O Anywho what Blaec posted is the ones I have; engraved. Just be diligent when buying keycap sets though. The last thing you want is to find out some of your keys need a modified set. I had to specifically find a different set for my CM Storm QFR, which lead me to the rainbow keycaps you posted.

Yo. What are those candy looking smaller keyboards that a lot of koreans use? I recently purchased a new desk with a pull out tray and need a smaller sized keyboard. Those candy ones look sexy imo.
cheers!


Keycaps are above. Grab whatever tenkeyless looks good to you from PCCG, Auspcmarket or qtan (the guy you are getting the caps from).
But I don't think the rainbow spacebar will fit on a leopold or ducky, not 100% on that though.


Is it possible to get keys for full size?

Someone here posted a picture or link of keys that were white with white engraving. Got link?

EDIT: Never mind. I found them at qtan's store online.


They are the keys for fullsize. You can get white engraved with whatever you want from WASD keyboards, but they won't be PBT like qtan's ones.


Dumb question but. Do you know how the difference is from PBT and the qtans? Like how it feels?


If you are asking the difference between PBT and non-PBT, I dunno. Have a look around on the net, I am sure there are many reviews.

My experience between PBT and the average keycap (ABS) is that PBTs have a sandy, grainy feel to them. Some don't like it, I personally do. ABS keycaps feel dull and plastic-like to me. That's just my take on it.

I just got one of those for $56. EPIC deal if he can get it. Monoprice also has an mx blue board for around $60 usually.

Hi everyone. I'm in the market for a mechanical keyboard to play Sc2. I'm looking to spend as much as it takes for a good board. This is the board I been using for 2 years. http://www.amazon.com/Maxell-Keyboard-Large-Letters-191045/sim/B003FXM4IA/2 It's cheap with big keys. I like the deep keys and I'm used to bottoming out on them. What kind of switches/keyboard should I go for? I'm thinking to try the Levetron Clicker http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823839014 .

I thought blue > brown >black/red in terms of noise, may be entirely wrong though

Tomorrow I'm going to buy the Razer BlackWidow Tournament edition 2013 (Blue switches) because my main Logitec keyboard has a knack in the cable, and hey Illusion and Grubby use it too.

They use it cause they are sponsored to use them but if you like noise it will do you good.

No they are not. They're close to blues in terms of sound. Although if you mod them with o-rings it dampens the sound quite a bit.
