Anyone here have a TTesports MEKA? Not the G1, the basic model, no handrest or ports. Thinking of getting one due to competitive price.

Hi guys, I read the thread but still can't decide.

I wan't to buy a mechanical keyboard, I have around 80€ to spend. I can't decide between the steelseries 6gv2 and the razor darkwidow. I like the fact that the blackwidow has some macro keys at the left (it can always be usefull), but the 6gv2 and steelseries seems to be more reliable, also the 6gv2 is smaller, i like that.

Could someone help me decide or propose something else for the same price (or less) ?

Note that Blackwidow is brown/blue switch, and 6gv2 is black, they feel completely different to type on.

There is other cheap mechanical keyboards like Das (student discount), Roswell, Ducky DK1008 which is rated highly in most reviews.
Sure.

Yes, I got mine for christmas. It has black switches which are perfect for me, but some people feel that they can be tiring to type on. The best thing about the MEKA is how small and compact it is. I think it's more than 20cm shorter than my old Logitech one, and is thus fantastic for people with small desks like me .

Overall I think it's pretty good. Feels about the same as a 5gv2 (or whatever that Steelseries one is called), so would recommend getting a MEKA if you can get one cheap.

thats really the only downside I've heard of with those keyboards that some of the spacebars on some of them are just trash. The only thing they have going for them is the filco controller.

Thanks for the reply, One more question. What would you recommend, the Full size or Tenkeyless? What is the advantage or disadvantage of both?

Thank you :D

o.o if ducky,filco and das all use cherry switches and abs keycaps I don't see how there's any difference between them. my question is do you guys prefer mx blues or browns? I have a das silent (brown) and I asked for an exchange for the blues because everyone who owned a blue switch loved it while browns got mixed/positive feedback instead of 100% positive. So what do you think for those who owned both.

your question has been answered a 100 times, and the difference is the build quality...... Thats why filcos cost $150-175 usd, duck'y cost like $50-150 and das are shit in my opinion (130-150)


blues vs browns, read up in the thread to get a better idea.

^ what is the build quality they all use identical keycaps and switches, nkro? i mean the only difference is the plastic case and the hardware that registers the keys. But i never heard and difference in the hardware itself between mechanical keyboards. With warrentee if thers a problem you can just ask for new one. o.o isnt it retarded to play 20-80 bucks more for an identical keyboard/keycaps witha different brand with "good build quality" that's not even tangible

the shine finish leaves finger prints. Who likes finger prints. They are fucking overpriced for same quality as a $100 board. Nice....... The only boards I'm willing to spend more than $140 are ducky shines/filcos/topre hhkb boards that are quality made and are actually worth the $150-500
