Does anyone know if the Blackwidow Stealth will ever be sold on Amazon? On the Razer site, with shipping, it comes out to about $95, while the regular BW is about $70 on Amazon. It's not that great of a value if I need to buy it from the Razer site.

WASD does a pretty good sound comparison. The sound produced by switches are very similar across different keyboards, so this should be good enough for your purposes.
It even has o-ring sounds included

i really like the sound of the blue switches but i am afraid that my girlfriend is going to kill me after a while. brown switches are an alternative but wasdkeyboard.com doesnt offer brown switches with semi custom keyboard on ISO-layout . its hard finding a ~100€ keyboard with brown/blue switches and german layout (no blackwidow).

Anyone tried out CM Storm quickfire yet? Thinking about getting the red switch version of it when it comes out, if the one out already has positive reviews.

pretty sure its already out with reds, and you can find it on some websites in asia
$10 shipping to US so like $120 + import fees so no more than $130-135 at the most.

how to order off pchome
http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?12854-PChome-(Taiwan)-20-Worldwide-Shipping-Promo

shipping on this one is $50 so the pchome is probably a better deal, this guy also has the CM storm w/ blues for $89.99

Hello to all you mechanics,

last week I bought a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry MX blue switches and have two questions:
[...]
2) Is it normal that it makes a quiet metallic sound lasting a little bit longer that the clicking.
[...]
2) metallic sound:
Since the metallic sound persists a bit longer than the clicking, my guess is that the source is the spring below the key.
It is not audible in a normal environment. Especially not while playing a game or listening to music. But when it gets night and I am writing something, it is actually annoying me. This metallic sound occurs even when I do not really press the key, but touch it so gently that it does not even make the click.
Only if I hit the key very hard, the metallic sound get so loud, that it is audible despite background music.
Do I have to get used to this metallic sound or is my keyboard probably not that well assembled? Would a DAS be better in that regard?

I believe filcos are famous for pinging, although other boards can do it as well.



Yes. Exactly that! Can someone recommend me a different mechanical keyboard with no or less pinging?


I'm using a Das Keyboard S and it doesn't have any pinging sound.

blackwidow sound is more of a "click" sound. bw stealth being a brown keyboard is more of a "clack" sound. they are both loud. brown is slightly louder but a lower pitch.

I bought the Tt esports meka g1 and I love it! its got black switches and i've had it for about a month. The key presses honestly aren't that heavy at all and you hardly notice much resitance.

They are very good.
I have both a filco and CM storm and there is almost no difference in quality.

Zowie should be sold in Germany if it is sold here I think.

If anyone lives near a Fry's Electronics, they will price match with online stores. I just got my Steelseries 6gv2 for 88.99 there 20 minutes ago and I'm pretty happy with it so far!

thx to JackZitze for the awesome PM! i think i am going to buy the Zowie Celeritas but i have still one question left. as long as i am using the cherry mx browns, i can still get the keycaps from wasdkeyboard.com for personal customization later on? so it doesnt matter what keyboard i use as long as i am using/buying keycaps for cherry switches?

As long as it is a standard layout yes.

From a short googling session it seems the Zowie is standard in ISO, but the bigass enter version might give you some problems.
Oh and the WASD spacebar won't fit.

I think the Blackwidow Stealth edition is Razer site's exclusive, but since I had some credit at Amazon I just ordered the regular edition along with an Abyssus mouse from Amazon. A total of $99.96.. I'm not really picky on these things, so I'm happy for the price.

thanks a lot. i heard that WASD will also sell ISO-standard keycaps later on. you can already get a semi custom one in ISO.

@jayjay_90 you can get a lot of bad feedback from here:

quick question, my past 2 keyboards(noppoo + realforce 86u now) arnt registering a specific type of shift deselect function, shift deselect works fine whenever i have my units on move command, however whenever i do this input sequence > hold shift > move units to x spot > shift attack an area > shift deselect doesnt work.. it just locks up and i cant remove any units from my hotkey group

has anyone else experienced this problem? i remember this function working on my ss 6gv2

To make clear what I ment with "QPad/bad reviews"... well that was wayyy inacurate.

Fakts: I read in a german forum (hardwareluxx.de) that several people complaint about the KeyCaps.
Some of them seem to be fissured/chinky/cracked - not all the way brocken but cracked a bit(?) (sorry I'm not a native, but I think you know what i mean).

Maybe they cracked them theirselves when removing them from the keyboard - I dunno, but it scared me off that QPads.

I'm not saying that they are bad. Maybe one should give them a try...
