Anyone know what keyboard Polt uses? I can't seem to find the model anywhere. I've seen the photos of it but that's it. I'm looking to get one like his because it looks so cool, and I'm pretty sure anything would be better than my Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 for playing SC2. I just don't wanna leave my natural ergonomic keyboard because well, it's ergonomic so it's good for my wrists.

Is the Cooler Master CM Storm Trigger Mechanical Gaming Keyboard USB Cherry MX Blue Key Switch any good? Or this Cherry blue keyboard?

I think I know what you mean, but my experiences are a bit different. When I was on a spending spree I bought a CM Storm QFR with browns and they just didn't feel right. I had the QFP and the browns felt a lot better than the ones on the QFR. I'm fairly confident Costar makes QFR and Trigger. iOne may have made the QFP, but the browns had a better tactile feedback.

I need a REALLY cheap mechanical keyboard, the cheapest you can find, (blue or brown switches preffered)

I live in the EU, germany, so no Newegg for me, i cant find anything cheaper than 60 dollars, and im really short on money

I dont care if its not stylish or shit like that, i just want it to work properly

So I'm currently looking for a tenkeyless keyboard with blue switches. I've been looking a bit on the CM Storm QuickFire Rapid. I'd like to hear your thoughts on the keyboard, or if there's another keyboard you would recommend.

I've heard that the Cherry MX Blues are a bit iffy for double tapping, for someone who is coming from using low profile laptop keys, is that going to be much of an issue? I mean, I double tap A LOT in SC2, but I really love the sound of the MX Blues, and the QFR Blue is cheaper than the other models. Is the double tapping on blues that much more uncomfortable/annoying?

It feels pretty flimsy compared to the heavy keyboards that use a metal plate. The price is probably fair. There's nothing broken about the keyboard, it's just a different design. There are old Cherry keyboards that lasted over a decade.

You should know the keyboard sold as "soft tactile" (or something along those lines) is not a brown MX switch. It's a "clear" MX switch that's about as heavy as the black switches. The keyboards sold as "click" and "linear" are normal blue and black switches.

I didn't like the labeling on the black Cherry G80-3000 I have. It uses thick white paint and you can feel the raised labels. I don't know if that's the case with all black Cherry G80-3000. The light gray ones are lasered and I like that better.

While it doesn't have n-key rollover, I don't really remember terrible problems playing FPS games with crouching, sprinting, etc. while using WASD as the movement keys with weapons and stuff on QERF12345ZXCV and CapsLock for push-to-talk.
