Does anyone have some suggestions for mech keyboards? I have been eyeing the Razer Black Widow Ultimate or maybe the Mionix Zibal 60. The widow has mx blue switches which ive heard arent the greatest for gaming and has a tiny wrist rest, while the Mionix has the MX Black switches (allegedly better for gaming but lack the tactile click clack of other mech keyboards (not necessarily a bad thing?)). Another big design flaw with the widow is that the USB port is on the right side of the keyboard (where your mouse sits) and the Zibal has it on the top, where it should be.
I have no experience with mechanical keyboard except from ones over 15 years ago. But I have heard from people who use them that the Cherry MX keyboards are best, usually I hear people wanting the blue ones. Ive also heard a few people say DAS keyboards are the best. Here is a sound comparison of each type of switch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYK03ltDcqM
Also found this great thread: http://www.overclock.net/t/491752/mechanical-keyboard-guide According to that thread, these would be one of the best keyboards: http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=topre_keyboards,realforce&pid=rf_se02c0 http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=topre_keyboards,rftenkeyless&pid=rf_se1900
razer products are usually pretty good ... i have messed with the blackwiddow a bit at work and i wouldnt mind having one
I use a das keyboard silent model at work all day and love it. Believe it or not, I use a mac full sized keyboard at home for gaming. I love the short throw keys. edit: I've used the Blackwidow. Das Keyboard is better, IMO.

I'm currently using a Cyborg keyboard and it works great, changable colors, programmable macros on both sides of the board, a nice extra USB port, and a headphone and mic jack on the back which really comes in handy so you dont have to worry about all the wires running to the back of the tower.
HANDS DOWN BEST MECHANICAL KEYBOARD IS THE BLACKWIDOW. I own it and i wouldent have it any other way i tried alot of keyboard and this one is perfect. id tell you to go blackwidow hands down.
