recommendation for good mechanical keyboard

[xiaozozo]

imo basically too many brands with mechanical keyboards. The best for majority gaming are Cherry MX Reds and Cherry MX Browns. For typing, it is Cherry MX Blues. There are OEM switches like green and orange (from Razer) which function the same, just compare the "actuation" strength to get the correct reference on Cherry MX switches.

My buying guide was basically PRICE. Due to so many MKBs out there, such as overpriced ones (Razer), the best selection point is down to price. For <$100, there are some to choose from, however you wont be able to find one from big brands. If you go up to $120, you can find some from Corsair, Logitech. Up to $150, you have more choices such as steelseries, coolermaster, thermaltake etc. all those gaming brands.

Lastly, it is better to purchase from amazon.us because the prices are just lower than local purchase.

Just like how i used to say in the other thread. Mechanical keyboard comes in many various brands and prices.

Most importantly, what are you looking for, in the mechanical keyboard you are using.

Things like,

- LED backlit
- LED strip backlit
- Costar Stabilizers or Cherry Stabilizers
- Detachable cable
- Reroutable cable from the bottom
- Num Keys or TKL or 60%
- Media Keys
- Macro Keys, N Key Rollover
- Cherry MX, Gateron switches, Kailh switches, etc
- Palm rest
- Bluetooth functions


The list goes on, best is see what you really like. For me i would go for Filco as it is no frill, and just no gimmick software needed to run it.
