Which Mechanical Keyboard FTW?

[jedithy]

There are so many brands out there for mech keyboards. Razer, Ducky, Rosewill, Corsair. Which one should I get?

can crossout razer from your choice. the rest is ok, filco also not bad.

Using a Filco Majestouch Tenkeyless, its very good, very durable.. but expensive

 

[jedithy]

cross out razor? why?

cross out razor? why?

compared to the rest, razer mech kbs feel like they are made of cheap plastic. even the minimalist design of rosewill kb also got more weight and have a more sturdy feel to it.

NEVER buy Razer.

Filco is a good brand too. Niceday having warehouse sale today and tomorrow FYI. Rosewill is a 'budget' Filco. Ducky is better for it's high end models. Corsair is see whether you like or not.

Black widow - 2kro only, qc issues

I using Rosewill-Rk9100 not bad actually!

 

[enenyi]

CM Storm QuickFire Pro also an alternative, for those who wan some LED lighting and dun wan the M1-M5 shortcut keys. Price dropping, down to $138.

 

[enenyi]

Then there is also the Rosewill RK9000 for budget conscious pple who wan the minimum mech keyboard, no LED lighting nor programmable keys. Cashtronic selling at $105 for RK9000.

 

[raidorz]

If you looking for LED and blue switch, I have a Ducky Shine to let go at $130

Do their keyboards come with the classic red trackball?

Reminds me of the IBM thinkpad keyboards...

depends on the model..... nice for typing, but annoying for others ....

Owner of a Razer Blackwidow for quite a long time.

Avoid Razer. LEDs always got issues. And frankly, I don't feel that their build quality is good.

That said, if you want a blacklit mech keyboard with macro functions - I think you've to pick between Razer and Corsair.

New on the meck KB front, but was recommended CM Trigger because my preference is with LED backlighting as I sometimes game at night with lights out.....and must be red to match my system. Been using it a few days and I'm pretty happy with it thus far. BTW, I dunno if it's me or not, but it feels so damn responsive even when compared to my previous gaming grade KB, Logitech G15 v1.0. This KB is heavy and seems sturdily built, I like what I'm seeing so far.
