EDIT: Links to the two models I'm asking about: 9008: http://www.tankguys.com/mechnical-keyboards/ducky-keyboard-mx-overclock-net-edition-brown-abs.html 1008: http://www.tankguys.com/mechnical-keyboards/ducky-keyboard-mx-overclock-net-edition-brown-abs-1.html The 9 series is the updated version of the 1 series. There was an earlier 9000 and then the 9008 Gen. 2, which has macros and LEDs for your Lock keys. The 9 series is a little better build, but if you can get a deal on the 1000 series, don't hestiate to jump at getting one. The casing of the 9 series is suppossed to be sturdier. | ||

Awesome, thanks a lot! $109.99 on newegg.ca with <$10 shipping. With taxes it came to $132.xx, but that's not a huge deal. I also love the EXACT key placement too. Was looking for one like this that didn't have the oversized enter key and moved \ key. Perfect <3 | ||

It also limits your options if you want to get a new set of keycaps (either to look cool: WASD, or get better quality plastic caps). If neither of these things bother your then 6gv2 should be ok. Imo you shouldn't have any problem with the black switches if you are used to rubber domes. Rosewill and Leopold are basically the same in quality (6gv2 is seen to be slightly lower, but nothing to worry about). They do have different stabilisers though, so the large keys will feel different (the rosewill ones are usually argued to be better). Which should you get? Depends on the price you can get for them and which switch you want. 9000re price went up to $130 after s&h over the night and leopold is $120. Ended up picking the 6gv2 for $90. Thanks for the help. | ||

Or you can order a single keyswitch off ebay http://stores.ebay.com/Computer-MotherBoard-Parts-Store/_i.html?_fsub=3209391018 I suggest ordering a new one just for the fact I'm not sure if it would have any negative effects on your keyboard and the functionality of it. | ||

Browns definitely require more force, and I feel like you have less control over whether or not you're actually double tapping: with my browns, it happens that I double tap unintentionally, or that it doesn't double tap because you have to fully release the key before bottoming it out again. Red are just pure pleasure to play SC2 with high left hand APM. Just my opinion on this ^^. | ||
