Though I don't know if I like mechanical that much compared to the DT-35 that I'm using at this moment. Sure, Mechanical keyboards have NKR (great for music games) and fast response, but my DT-35 is doing its job and I don't find 'clicking' keyboards that much attractive than what I have at the moment. I might pick up few extra just in case when I go to Korea this summer. | ||

I would just stick to getting the standard Korean one. There's a good chance that 'americanized' ones that may be floating around are lower quality fakes. | ||

Not trying to say that a better keyboard makes you play better, but when you can complete actions faster with a more responsive/better keyboard, it's going to give you an edge in such a fast paced game like sc2 (especially where we dont have the bugs and delay lags with the bw UI). There's a reason why a growing majority of professional players use them, dont kid yourself. im not going to lie, everything you said is true. I had one of those OEM Dell Keyboards that everyone uses and then I switched to a dell AT101W and noticed a huge difference in the response time. I just recently got the black widow ultimate and this shits on any keyboard ive ever owned. ever. | ||

That's why I got cherry blacks  I actually couldn't stand cherry blues and so I almost changed my mind about the whole mechanical keyboard deal. There is only 3 advantages to a mechanical keyboard. A.) Longer life expectancy. They're made to handle more punishment than rubber dome keyboards. FYI, you'll most likely never max out on finger tapping punishment on your rubber dome keyboards. So this is only a "hypothetical" advantage being that you're never really going to see it come into being. B.) Reduced joint stress on your fingers. You're less likely to get keyboard related injuries with a mechanical than a rubber dome simply because you don't need to press as hard on a mechanical to achieve the same results. This is also a fake advantage since you'll be smashing the buttons the same speed regardless. C.) They feel so much better. This is a purely subjective advantage that has no tangible or measurable benefit. Saying all this--I do not regret getting my keyboard and I absolutely love it. It feels better, I make less typing mistakes, and my typing speed increased (due to less errors) | ||

Especially the tenkeyless (no ink) Tenkeyless means without the numberpad keys. I think you are referring to blank keys (no letters / symbols on them). The Das doesn't have a tenkeyless version as far as I'm aware. A tenkeyless keyboard looks like this: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/7aVINm.jpg) | ||

Mechanical keyboards don't click per se. The clicking sound comes from specific mechanical switch types, most notably the Cherry MX blue switches. If you get MX brown or MX black switches, there will be no click. On May 11 2012 15:20 sluggaslamoo wrote: I have a buckling spring keyboard with korean layout. :D Cherry switches for the lose.

I've been playing SC2 on a laptop for the past 1 and a half years and I haven't really felt the need to use a different keyboard. Those are an example of rubber dome keys, very short ones at that. | ||

I have a buckling spring keyboard from the 80's, with ink that will never fade because the die is a part of the key itself even has the old 5 pin DIN connectors that used to go into ye olde computer consoles. +1 Hipster faggot points In all seriousness though its older than me, still works excellently and has no fading of the keys whatsoever... I'd sooner part with my computer than this keyboard. | ||

Buckling spring is the worst thing possible to use for gaming Buckling spring is actually the best for gaming, it's the only switch where the actual clicking noise responds at the actuation point. Only problem they have is wearing out quicker than the other types of switches... But with manufacturing the way it is now if you get a properly made keyboard like mine or something like an IBM model M they'll out last and perform anything modern. My own keyboard is a perfect example, my friend was actually in the process of throwing it out D: | ||

I've been playing SC2 on a laptop for the past 1 and a half years and I haven't really felt the need to use a different keyboard. Laptops are usually scissor switches. A very small switch that are mostly used to save space. Same stuff as those mac keyboards. So very small and very slick, but overall they are not that great to type on. | ||
