He is slowly persuading me though. I was thinking about possibly getting a Qpad MK-50 or maybe something with black switches (I guess those would be best for SC2?) Any advice for a first time mechanical keyboard buyer who plays a lot of SC2? | ||

Any advice for a first time mechanical keyboard buyer who plays a lot of SC2? Hey Westy! If you feel good and really like to write/play on your rubber dome keyboard keep it ! I used the Qpad MK-50 with brown switches myself and the keyboard was really solid and I liked it. Most people consider black switches really stiff for gaming and I personally really don't like them too but it comes down to preference. If it's going to be your first mechanical keyboard I would recommend you brown switches , they are light and have a overall good feeling compared to other switches ! | ||

i use "4" as hotkey for my cc´s and after some months the "4" stopped working properly on all 3 keyboards. hitting the button once gives me "44","444" or "4444" as a result. does anybody share this experience?! can somebody tell me, what i am doing wrong or how to fix it?! yes, i play a lot of sc2 - therefore hitting that button very often. but it cant be normal, that this happens on 3 different (expensive mechanical) keyboards, right?! any help is appreciated. thank you. edit: typo | ||

I'm thinking of buying a mechanical keyboard but by now I could not manage to find one that fit's me. Because I take F1 - F4 as additional hotkeys (they replace 7 - 0) and i would like to have those (F1 - F4) like very near to the keys 1 - 4 so that F1 is over 1 and so on. On all keyboards I've seen by now, the F-Keys are positioned this way: _______F1_F2_F3_F4 ___1__2__3__4 What i want is something similar to this: ___F1_F2_F3_F4 __1__2__3__4 Anyone seen something like this? | ||

tenkeyless ideally, but w/e works. In theory I can go for a $150 custom wasd, anything less pricey out there? | ||

You can just get a cheaper board and a keycap set from somewhere else. Check compatibility for size and spacings for spacebars and possibly other keys though. http://keypop.bigcartel.com/product/6-25x-red-translucent-spacebar http://keypop.bigcartel.com/product/red-doubleshot-keycap-set-111-keycaps (doubleshot ABS, better than below) http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,cherrymxkeys&pid=dmx_us104_lav_tw http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,cherrymxkeys&pid=dmx_us104_red_tw I'm not up to date on pricing for keyboards and keycap vendors. | ||

Hmm interesting idea, like a qfr + red keycaps, might be able to sell her on that. | ||

You should go to Youtube and research this stabilizer business. There should be video guides on how to get the key-cap off without breaking the stabilizer (the plastic parts involved are pretty thin). There are two different styles for those parts, and best would be to find a video for your exact keyboard. | ||
