Meh I think I'm over LEDs. At least with the two led mech boards I got, the parts ( painted keycaps, cherry stabilizers etc.) they use on led boards lessen the quality of the typing experience for me, and ever since I got a second monitor I have more than enough light at night to see my keys if i was ever to look down at my keyboard to find something.

LEDs don't affect your typing experience, at least not physically, at all to my knowledge. You can mod a keyboard to have LEDs if you wanted to and it'd still be the same, but the difference is with LEDs. Of course, it depends on what LED keyboard you're buying. They do cost money, and sometimes companies will cheap out on other parts in order to fit that in. Most aren't bad though in my opinion. I still have my Ducky Shine II and love my LEDs to this day.

So I've finally settled on the Quickfire TK with blues and I gotta say the blues on this feel totally different to the ones on the Razer Blackwidow. I like these better. The tactile feel is more pronounced and the keys have a more springy nature to them, they also sound better and a bit quieter. IDK what Razer did with the keys on the Blackwidow, but I gotta way that the rumors were correct. Blues on the Blackwidow are definitely not standard MX blues.

speaking outside of keyboards here, asking people "CAN I USE MY CHERRY MX BLUE SWITCH KEYBOARD IS THAT OKAY IS IT TOO LOUD" etc. is really socially awkward, especially when it's a given that it IS annoying for a lot of people.

don't bring it.


umm, it's only as awkward as you make it. Brought my keyboard to work and nobody cared about the sound of blues, even when I asked. Most people aren't even going to think about the sound of your keyboard other than it sounds pretty much like any other keyboard. Typing on membrane switches makes sounds too.


Likewise. I'm using my Filco with blues at my workplace as well and aside from the "woah that's pretty loud" i haven't had any heavy objects flung at my head so i guess i'm good :p

Do you guys know if there has ever been, or ever will be a linear clicky switch? Think an MX red with the clicky feedback of the blues, but no bump. Is this even physically possible. I don't think it is based on how the switches are engineered,but I'm just curious :p

Not likely. If you're looking for audible feedback for actuation you're probably better off installing a program that clicks for you.

Blackwidow Tournament edition.

Might be the stealth edition. If it is its Mx Brown compared to Mx Blue on the non stealth.

Grubby uses three mechanical keyboards. I only remember him saying Ducky Shine for one of them. The other two I forgot. This was on his stream about two weeks ago.

He is testing three Keyboards right now: Razer Tournament Edition BlackWidow (Stealth); Das Keyboard Professional Model S (Silent); Ducky keyboard (most likely Shine 2). This is what the Q&A says under the stream. At the Moment i think he's testing the Ducky Shine, doesn't look like blackwidow or Das. All of them cherry browns.

Out of those three I'd definitely go with the Ducky. Backlit and tenkeyless, which I love.

I am having a really hard time deciding between the Zowie Celeritas and the Das Keyboard Model S Professional Soft Pressure Point Mechanical Keyboard (Brown switches). Can anyone convince me one way or the other? They both seem simple and solid.

Das is one of the top brands in mechanical keyboards. Das Keyboard by far. It also has a USB hub, which the Celeritas doesn't have. No brainier there really. If it was Das vs a Filco board, then there's some touch decisions that need to be made.

I have been thinking about getting a mechanical Keyboard for my new pc and I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I prefer typing on my laptops (a macbook pro and Sony Vaio )because of the short travel distance and how little force it takes to press down. Is there a keyboard or switch type that I should be looking for? Thanks guys in advance!!

Maybe you could buy those slim type of keyboards made by Logitec ? Or try these type of keyboards with a little bit of lower action;

Have a look at a scissor switch keyboard, afaik logitech and apple make the best.

Cherry mx switches are very different from laptop keyboards.

Thanks for the input! I took your advice and went with the Das. I am pretty stoked for it's arrival
