got a pm:

"I've got a white Realforce 86u with red esc and lavender wasd in pretty much perfect condition. I was looking for $185 + shipping. I live in Canada too (Montreal, Quebec) so shipping costs should be much better than from someone in the US.

sounds like a good deal, should i go for it?

edit: its the white/gray version tho tt, wanted the black one
also are the 86u's 45g or 55g?



Ask him. Also also ask him for a photo that works. $185 is a fantastic deal though.

Anyway, the 86U could be either the mult-actuation force or the uniform-actuation force version (55g or 45g).

http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:4603

"...55g for the Esc key, 30g for keys commonly hit by the pinkies and 45g for the rest..."


i linked a pic on that post but the " got into the link
http://imgur.com/a/yrDjT

edit: a fuck its the mult-actuation version -_-, should i still go for it? i would have preferred buying the uniform actuation force vers

edit2: meh i went ahead and bought the board, we live in the same city so im saving on shipping costs aswell, he was nice enought to offer me a 2day test trial of the board before having to pay him, the only reason i took him up on his offer was to avoid being stabbed + robbed plus i wanted to see if the keyboard worked : D


Its just a matter of preference. Absolutely go for it.

Edit: Sweet. I know u'll love it.

I got my Razer Blackwidow keyboard yesterday and it's very bad. Macro keys just feel very odd and they make writing harder, clicky sound of this keyboard is much louder than I thought (it's just annoying sound...) and I have a lot of problems with double-tapping (I guess blue switches were a bad choice...). I have never before used a mechanical keyboard and I feel like that rubber domes are better. Is it possible that I just have to get used to this new keyboard and maybe it will feel better after few weeks of using? Have you guys been satisfied in your new keyboards immediately after getting them?

Been looking everywhere but the only mechanical keyboard that suits me is the Blackwidow Stealth(brownswitches) the only problem is that it doesn't come in nordic layout! Does anyone know if their planning on releasing it in the future? Can't find any information regarding this.

Multi-acutation board has 30g for pinky keys, 40g for ring keys, 45g for other keys, 55g for esc. Nope it doesn't say 40g for ring keys anywhere but that's how it is.

I wonder how the alternative force layout will be for your SC2, it's good for me as I use a ASDF stance with all 4 fingers, but if you only use say, index and middle fingers it can get a bit strange especially if you try to doubletap the different keys. Also, number 1 is 30g, number 2 is 40g and number 3 on are 45g so it might be strange for doubletapping control groups as well.

Not sure why you went for blackwidow as a gaming board as it's really bad for gaming. The striking feature of blue switches is the sound, so if you don't like it I'm not sure why you went for that. Blue switches are the worst for doubletapping so not sure why you went with them again. =P Then there's the issue of BlackWidow having the worst build quality out of all the "gaming" mechanical keyboards in existence.

My suggestion: Return the board and get this instead:

Pretty strange if the only board that suits you is Blackwidow stealth. There's like a thousand better brown switch boards available.

Well thing is I also need a few macro keys and the only other one i found was the Corsair K90 but its has almost too many it becomes easy to hit the wrong key. That and it looks kinda bad IMO. If you know any other red/black/brown switch with macro keys i might look into it though.

Better keyboard is far more valuable than macro keys, buy a seperate numpad and program macros into those

The Corsair macro key placement is quite good in this regard - the macro keys are about a centimeter lower down than the rest of the keys, and feel different as well. Where on the BlackWidow I constantly had friends using it and accidentally triggering macros, I haven't run into this problem on the K90.

I'd definitely suggest Shikyo's suggestion of simply programming macro keys onto a separate numpad (or even just unused keys), as you should have a few spare on any keyboard. The Filco Majestouch-2 is a great keyboard that you can get with Browns (or indeed all of the standard Cherry switches), so perhaps try that?

So what keyboard do most pro's use? I know EG uses a lot of steelseries 6gv2, Destiny loves his DAS but what do the other pro gamers use and the koreans? Filco?

To be honest, pros use generally what their sponsors provide for them (because keyboards are pricey) I think Liquipedia has what board each player uses on their page if I remember correctly.

I can only find info about the TL players...

I am interested in buying a Filco and I heard a lot of news about it, just wondering what the Pro's are using, I have a blackwidow currently but I am missing a lot of keys when typing and I dont really like the general feel of it.

i have a filco blue switch and a tt meka g1 black switch and theyre both amazing. i cant decide which one i like best although the black does seem much better for gaming.

anyone that claims blacks are too heavy or tiring or whatever needs to start lifting some weights
