I decided to let my friend have my Razer BW since his keyboard died off.

..Totally gave me the excuse to buy a new mech. keyboard. LOL. Anyways, I just ordered the Rosewill RK-9000 RE. It has Cherry MX reds. I can't wait, haha. I was debating on that or getting something with MX browns. ~_~

I got my Steelseries 6gv2, it's amazing. The sound is SO GOOD. The clickity clack puts a smile on my face, even when I lose to 6 pool (:

About the heaviness; if you can finish a fap without having to rest, you should be able to type on this just fine. At the very beginning long session (4 hours+) can make your hands a little target, especially if done after weightlifting, but it definately gets better over time

Quick question about my squeaky backspace: I read on TL that I should grease it. What kind of grease should I use?| Would rather not have to order something of the internet. Also, how do I lift the key in order to put grease under it, or is this not necessary?

Why don't people seem to care about the Qpad mechanical keyboards (my impression)? Is it because red switches are not great for gaming? I'm looking for my first mechanical board and Qpad would be easy to get my hands on. I'm not a huge fan of steelseries/razer products anyway.

Q-pad doesn't have the profile of either of those companies, and its mostly a European company it seems.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with red switches, if you can get a Qpad for a good price then definitely go for it.

Hi,

Looking for a mechanical keyboard with a partially sunken caps lock (gap between capslock and A key), like the starcraft razer keyboard or a g11 logitech keyboard.

If anyone know of one, please msg me or replay thanks.
Or do they make those replacement keys, where would you purchase them?

Anyone know if I have to pay any extra fees for ordering a keyboard from pchome? If so, how do I pay it when the item arrives?

EDIT: like special fees when ordering items from other country. That's what I meant by extra fees

No but it's just as good without backlight and costs 40€ less, also imo red > blue for gaming though from their site you can order the kbs with any switches.

I know a place in Sweden where the price difference is just 5 euro between mk-50 red and mk-80 blue. Why is blue keys worse? What is the difference between reds and blues?

Hm, you get MK-80 for only 84 euros? That's of course a really nice deal.

So for example as a zerg player it will be troublesome for me (I don't hold "D" for making drones for example I press it x times individually for the amounts of drones I'm making).

I don't have any trouble with it, but some people do.

All the keyboards you listed are equivalent in quality (cept the Razer probably), so just choose by price/features/switches.

blues are ok for double tapping if you dont bottom out. but if you are more used to buttoming out, blacks are the way to go.

Some people say that I press my buttons really hard, I've been using my laptops keys so I don't know if I bottom down. How much louder are blues compared to reds? Loud enough to wake people up by night?
