Looking for a new keyboard


RubberDuck

Recommended Posts

So my old Logitech internet 350 that came with my current pc is lagging alot and stops working completely sometimes.

Should I go for something like Razer Blackwidow or do you guys have any better suggestions?

Well, depends are you intrested in a mechanical keyboard or not.

 

I love them, but they are kind of expensive :P

 

I got the corsair k60 for daily work and gaming, it has red switches making it less perfect for typing a lot of text. So I got me also a das keyboard with brown switches :P

 

Besides those two you also have black and blue switches :P

Info about the switches (but you really need to test it yourself for the best choice): http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/mechanical-switch-keyboard,2955-4.html

My friends said that brown switches are best for about everything that you can do with your pc.

That corsair looks perfect but i want to keep my options open.

I would love to be able to type with my keyboard.

I posted that because it saves on constant keyboard abuse and it helps focus on just gaming. Using a controller your less likely to step in  stupid chit both while gaming and Administratively.

Nah, switches are a personal preference. That's why I said you need to test them out (me, for example don't like the blue ones at all)

I can't game on brown switches, but dam they are amazing to type whole papers on  XD

 

And yeah, the corsair one is pretty good (although not all keys are mechanical)

There is a follow up keyboard of the k60 which has all mechanical keys: the corsair k70

 

Would go for that one instead of the k60 (when I bought the k60, the k70 didn't exist XD), although I don't like backlight

You could get this. It's not that expensive considering that it's from SteelSeries but sadly it is not mechanical  Or you can get...

I just bought this with red switches. And the typing is kind a kinky the keys are really really light and often comes missspells etc. If you want and allarounder i would go with the black switches and cm storm quickfire.

Its really quality product with a good price. If you check the specs ytou see that it weights 1.3kgs, talk about quality?  And its just the size of a normal office keyboard. No fancy buttons, and in mode you can set f5tof12 to your media keys. Simple and effective.

This keyboard is just awesome! I love the red switches and the extra keys that come with this.

Only bad thing I can say about this keyboard is that  these extra keys are red and I ordered

that ''silver and blue backlight keyboard'' so it doesnt match the color. So i definetly recommend

this awesome keyboard.

I have a Logitech G710+ Mechanical and I love it. Uses MX Cherry Brown switches (Tactile no click) , has multimedia keys, 6 G keys, USB, and O rings under the keys to dampen sound (only keyboard with O rings). The keys are still louder than a rubber dome keyboard but it is queiter than a Black Widow blue key. This keyboard is expensive though.
