I was thinking of taking the plunge and getting a mechanical keyboard after never having one before. I was hoping one of you keyboard pros could help me pick out a nice quality one, that is not too loud. I would appreciate if anyone that is willing to help would pm me! Thanks in advance! | ||

The WASD V2 is nearly out. Definitely worth having a look at, though if customising keycaps isnt a priority then there are cheaper offers. | ||

Do you have any recommendations for switches that aren't to loud and are good for someone new? Brown is the safest bet. But just read up on them and decide which you think you will like, ideally go into a store and try them. | ||

It will take MUCH longer to wear or 'shine' than ABS plastic keycaps. There is also, Polycarbonate, POM, and some rubber keycap hybrids and even (usually) custom straight alloy, zinc and metal-plastic hybrid keycaps. Dye-sublimation is a type of printing for the legends on the keycap. Opposed to Laser-infill, engraving, or '2-shot' molding with 2 different colored plastics to create the legend: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7065/6819650402_c6238f5be5_z.jpg The company QWERKEYS has also a new type of 'uv' printing that allows dye-sublimation style images to go on darker colored keycaps. Which is impossible for standard dye sub of say, a team logo on dark keycap. | ||

I think i'm going for a Zowie Gear Celeritas, good/bad choice? Also i don't mind if it's tenkeyless or not. Any suggestions would be great thanks a lot !Check here: http://www.amazon.fr/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1/278-9125022-9607103?__mk_fr_FR=ÅMÅZÕÑ&url=search-alias=electronics&field-keywords=Zowie Celeritas And yes it should be a great keyboard.

So I'm wondering if its worth getting a new keyboard. "Worth" is a vague term. Obviously you already have a working keyboard, and a mechanical one at that, so a new keyboard would only be a luxury. Are you going to get the same switch type, or different? Do you feel you need more desk space for study/other work? If you buy a new keyboard, what would you do with your current one? For instance, I recently picked up a Leopold tenkeyless with blue switches (coming from a Ducky Shine 2 with red switches). For me, I enjoy being able to have my hands a little bit closer together while I'm gaming, but that alone isn't a huge benefit. I did, however, really like the change from red switch to blue switch, and now I'm looking to sell my Ducky keyboard. So that made the purchase worthwhile to me. My advice is this: if you're buying the tenkeyless just to have that tiny bit of extra space and you're sticking with the same switches, it might not be a worthwhile purchase. However, if you're getting a different-sized keyboard with different switches to try it out, you could really find the purchase worthwhile. If you end up preferring the keyboard you have now, just send the new one back or sell it on to a friend. | ||
