Mechanical Gaming Keyboard experience

[zer0patches]

edit: i came across this on Razer's site. How can you justify a non-mechanical $250 keyboard. I guess 150 goes to licensing of Star War. http://store.razerzone.com/store/raz...oryId.35156900

250$ is a bit steep, I have never used razer products so I can't vouch for the quality.

I don't really understand why anyone would want a mechanical keyboard. Makes me feel like I'm back in the 80's. =p

By far the best keyboard I have ever used is the Logitech diNovo Edge. My wife got it for me a couple years ago and I love it. It was 200$ retail back then but I think you can get them cheaper now.

It does not have macro keys but it does have programmable function keys. For macro's I use a g13.

Any recommendations on quiet mechanical keyboards? The more illuminated the better.

Currently rolling with a G16.

DAS has quiet mechanical keyboards.

There. I buy into Razer Black Widow. and oh boy, this thing is loud. I am like shooting a machine gun. But with each sound, the trigger clicky feeling is very good.

When people told me Cherry MX Blue switches were loud I thought they were going to be much louder than they actually
were (think IBM Model M Keyboard from the 80's). I have no idea how loud the new Stealth Edition BlackWidow's are but,
I've taken quite a liking to the sound of my non-stealth BlackWidow.

Also, the "trigger clicky feeling" is what is described as tactile feedback.

For everyone else, if you're trying to use the non-stealth BlackWidow late at night while someone is trying to sleep in the
room next to you they may not like you very much. Fortunately, I do not currently have that problem.

I replaced my Logitech G11 with a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate and I absolutely love it. I like backlit keys, and the other mech keyboards seem to omit that feature. I almost got the Steelseries, but someone pointed out the half size backspace button, which would drive me NUTS!

If Logitech makes a mech gaming keyboard, I might switch, but I'm starting to take a liking to Razer. Maybe I'll switch out my G700 mouse for a Razer Naga...
