So I got my XArmor U9 cherry brown keyboard the other day, after using it for about 3 days now I really like it. Comes with a wrist rest that felt weird to me so I don't use it, but the switches feel fine, the key layout is perfect, and the keys are solidly in place, not wobbly and don't just fall off or anything. I really like it, and it was like 80 bucks and came with a free wireless mouse that I use lazily on my bed now, while I use my Xai when I'm actually on my computer.

Hi TL community. Long time lurker but finally decided to post ^.^ I recently got a Ducky 1008 mech keyboard (MX Blue version) and I must say, it has been a blast typing on it. Gaming wise, I have had no problems double tapping keys. While it has not improved my gameplay (lol), it does seem to try and make me improve my apm by letting me know the frequency of my key clicks. Of course, my apm to begin with is quite low, so this may not have an effect on higher level players. Can't really speak for the other switches, but so far, I am definitely liking my blues =D

I should really start posting on TL more often. Anyways got my MX Blue Filco a couple months ago and a new set of keys a little while ago. Love it.

The yellow F keys will be awesome faces when the order goes through, and the Win keys will be Protoss keys whenever I get my hands on some.

I just ordered the Corsair Vengeance K90, can't wait to try it out.

Had the SteelSeries 6Gv2 before, and my hands got really tired because of the keys.

I thought they stopped making Filcos?

I just got myself a Leopold with MX Browns. Absolute dream to type on, fastest of the mechanical switches that i've tried (Blues and Blacks)

I bought it on www.keyboardco.com !

Does anyone have any information on the CM Storm Quickfire Rapid? I'm very interested in it but would prefer to have a keyboard sooner rather than later, especially if the keyboard I would be waiting for isn't worth the wait to begin with.

Does the red edition only come with red switches? Or can I get blue switches with the red-edition keyboard design?

I bought the CM Storm with brown switchs before Thanksgiving and am pretty satisfied with it.
Keyboard looks like it is solidly constructed. Not that many useless or gimmicky features but it's also not completely plain like Leopolds or Filcos.
Love typing on it but it's my first keyboard so Idk how it compares.
It is a relatively cheap option, only $101~ with fast shipping from Taiwan to USA.
Of course I could only find it on PCHome and they are a Taiwanese site so let me know if you need help buying it.
As of now (I just looked) they have red, brown and black switches available.

nice yellow and black keys on your filco. It would be more epic if you made it checkered rather than the way you did it or make the keys you use for protoss yellow, might make it easier to remember.

Anyone have experience with the Rosewill rk-9000? Thinking about buying the one with brown switches. I see some people say they are just a cheaper filco.

How much of a difference is there between the MX - Blues/Reds/Blacks? My bro has a blues, but I dont like the tactile action, and I'm wondering just how much more resistance is there between reds/blues and blacks/blues.

I'm actually using RK9000RE, which I got for my birthday. Pretty much as the guy before me said, it's a rebranded filco. Feels great, and build quality feels really good (so far). Personally, I'm loving the detachable USB's, since they come with both a USB adapter and a PS/2 Adapter. Can switch depending on how i'm feeling for it. If I have any gripes, if anything, it would be that I don't like the giant font on their keycaps, but that can be remedied with some of my own, or a new set.

Hey guys I'm having a problem with my Razer Blackwidow Mechanical keyboard. Spontaneously the space key started not working. All my other keys work but the space key would have no input. Now that I have tapped on it for awhile, it periodically inserts a space or inserts a space but types the letter "s" also.

So a sentence would look like this: I slove to splay Starcraft.

Do you guys know if this is a common problem and has an easy fix? Thanks so much

Razer has horrible build quality(Even if they get 10/10 diamond awards) so yes it's a common problem and you can probably fix it by sending it to the store you bought it from etc. unless you accidentally bound a macro on the spacebar, I'd check that first.

No macro. It was literally all of a sudden

Well I'd just contact the store you bought it from(usually the warranty is to them), try calling the customer support and explaining it, can also contact razer directly but I haven't had good experiences with that.
