I have always used rubber keyboards, I also have a q-senn dt35. The mechnical feel (i have cherry mx brown switches) is just, different. Honestly do not regret the $150(AU) i paid at all. Got it from mechkeyboards.com, they were very fast also. | ||

Big improvement over the rubber-dome keyboards I've been using. When I type, the urge to type as fast as I can, just to hear the clicking, becomes almost impossible to resist. Reminds me of the typewriter I learned to type on. | ||

It's very frustrating to have to B ctrl v every time I want to write B. It's the only fault of the keyBoard. Everything else works perfectly fine. It feels great to type on and I love having a mechanical keyBoard. But this has Been one shitty first experience. Do I Buy a new one or is there a place to have it repaired or can I do it at home or what... so frustrated. I don't know what's wrong with it, only that there isn't any obvious damage and that B is the only key that does not work. -_-;; Love, ProBe1 (Kill me) | ||

Well try here: http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:7486 I think you need to work out if your keyboard is plate or switch mounted first. But this is rapidly approaching the limit of my knowledge, so good luck  You can try asking at Geekhack, they will know the solution and are normally nice but sometimes a little troll like. | ||

Before I got new keys i didn't have the o-rings and they were louder, due to the clacking noise that was made when the key actually struck the bottom of the chassis of the keyboard. With the o-ring it's a lot quieter, but you still get that tactile click feeling that's classic of mechanical keyboards. I like it a lot. | ||

I didn't notice any difference between my old and new keyboards when changing from rubber-dome to 6gv2, which has blacks. | ||

It feels like its slightly harder to push down rubber domes. But the Blacks preserve their resistance over the whole stroke (if that makes sense) whereas the rubber only resist at one point. So if you are used to spamming on a rubber dome blacks should be no trouble for you.

You may want to lubricate it as well. | ||
