Title: Need your advices for a new keyboard
Post by: avinin1 on Fri, 06 April 2012, 05:01:27
Hello guys.
I'm a Razer Lycosa user for 3 years, never had any issue with the keyboard but its buttons start to wearing and I would also like to upgrade.

Basically, I think that the mechnical black switchs are for me since I like to have heavier keys for maximum control beacause at start when I got the lycosa I had hard time adjust to the low-force keys.
I also played with the Zowie Gear keyboard which is based on brown switchs and it was fine but the layout was hell for me.

My budget is 135USD, but its flexible if the keyboard actually worth it.

My requests:
The standart gaming layout (small enter, small right shift - as lycosa) US/UK.
Must have NUM-keys.
Wrist-rest
Would like to have full nakro abillity but its not that important for me.
Would like to have multimedia-keys (play, pause, next, before, stop and volume up and down)


Thanks you guys in advance

I'd stay away from the new line, until they confirm who makes it. If it's costar,, then buy buy buy,, if anyone else,, Fvck them.
