Keyboard?

I currently use a Razer Lycosa (biggest piece of shit ever made in my opinion) the fuckin touch pad doesnt work and i spilled some shit on it now and it randomly stops working (that happened before the spill) so im looking for a new keyboard.

ive been considering a Razer Black Widow Ultimate, the Logitech G110, the Logitech G510, and the Das Keyboard Professional Model S

 

Widow or Das all the way.
Mechanical keyboards take abit of getting used to at first, but they flow like a dream. not sure how much you know about mechanical keyboards, but they are the real deal, true quality. non-mechanical keyboards (rubber membrane or dome, usually) are low quality garbage, all of them. if you pay 100$ish for a high end logitech KB, your paying for a cheap keyboard worth ~15$ or less. only mechanical boards are truly worth anything more than 20 bucks or so. mechanicals last longer, are more reliable and are much more durable, they use hard plastic and dont flex, often have higher quality feet to keep them in place, and mechanical switch keys will actually speed up your typing due to how they are designed.

they are a must-have for anyone who does a good deal of typing. though to be honest, they dont make a big difference in gaming, but it comes down to a choice between a quality product thats worth its price tag, or a inferior but nice looking product that isnt worth anywhere near what they charge for it.

As soon as my keyboard breaks I want this one!

 

Ive had excellent luck the G15 keyboard, which I think is pre-cusor to the 510. The LED window comes in handy for applications like TS or Ventrillo which can run in the window. Thus freeing up your desktop from programs like "TS overlay".

If your talking just gaming get your self a Razor Naga and a cheap keyboard you find comfortable that is easy to reach Ctrl and Alt and your pretty much set.

 

Ive tried dicking with this keyboard tons already, and its time for a change, i love the idea of a mech kb but they are so damn expensive, i would get the black widow but from judging by the lycosa i dunno how i feel about their build quality anymore, I had a mouse by them though too and it was ok i guess, same sorta construction as the lycosa though. also i love backlit keyboards

and newegg has that das for 20% off

 

I have a g110 and love it. I got a few 35 percent off coupons from pax, so it helped. I have 1 left if you want to go with logitech.

 

GERMAN-ENGINEERED --- need i say more?

 

Heard good things about Das Keyboard http://www.daskeyboard.com/

I just buy Microsoft, for the most part it's a very standardized piece of equipment. I'd recommend a well backlit keyboard if you see one for the right price though.

 

its not high maintenance its just little costly cuz its imported from the father land

my VW every 10k miles new oil thats about it so far just about to hit 26,700 miles so

 

Well made, drive fasts, and has no sense of humor

 

hmmmm i havnt found the no sense of humor part or maybe its cuz i only know like 20 germans i talk to regularly

 

I use this one...
so does like everyone else I know..but I LOVE the pad on the side.

Its manufactured by steelseries now and it's in better condition than the older models.
My BF's got the one linked above and I got an updated version from Best Buy when the company got bought out. I've had mine for a year now and it's still in good condition..my BF's..not so much..so I hope that speaks for how the quality has changed. =P

 

WTB Logitech G19 mechanical keyboard.

 

would be nice, but arnt they too cheap to make mechanical boards?

 

You only have to change your oil every 10k miles? Geez nice!

 

Hopefully not by the same guys who engineered the LZ 129 Hindenburg.

 

Lol win
