Now, I was wondering what the best transition would be considering I'm coming from such a stiff keyboard. | ||

I cannot find the Ducky OCN's anywhere else. Also any opinions on that vs the Das Keyboard Silent. | ||

You can get a regular ducky T_T;;; and ducky vs Das to me is questionable, seeing as you spend like $40 more for das, but really there the same quality builds for me. At least they feel like the same quality.

I would be interested, it looks like a nice ergonomic board. Would be interesting to see if anyone on geekhack has heard about these. | ||

I do not have the most ergonomically setup desk but what kind of switches should I be getting to help with this. | ||

If Teamliquid were to make those keycaps available through the Teamliquid Store, would there be many mechanical keyboard users here interested in buying it? I believe the keycap was sized for the Esc and F1-12 row of keys. ![[image loading]](http://i43.tinypic.com/29cs6l3.jpg) | ||

Christmas is coming up and I NEED to buy a Mechanical keyboard, I"m currently using the abs 1 which uses the black alps switches. They are very tough switches with the actuation point being at the top, now I like the keyboard but I would like to not feel like my fingers bones are trying to pierce my skin every time I try to push down a key. Now, I was wondering what the best transition would be considering I'm coming from such a stiff keyboard. probably a red switch, really any cherry switched keyboard das keyboards are supposed to be very nice to type on | ||

I especially can't stand using a keyboard with something like differently colored WASD keys or something like that. Even so those keycaps still look pretty nice and would probably fit as ESC key, but I still wouldn't spend so much money for that | ||
