Hello, after about a week of checking out keyboards and learning about the different mechanical types, I have decided that I will be upgrading from my Logitech G110 to either a Filco or a Deck keyboard. I will be using this keyboard to type ads online this summer for computers I am going to be selling, I also game a lot. The reasons I am upgrading are that first, I get a lot of typos on this and other newer keyboards, and two my hands start to hurt after a while. The switches that I am looking at are: The Cherry MX Brown, Clear, and Black. I do not want the blue, as they are louder and I use open-back headphones, also I have tested myself and I do not rely on audio clues to type. I mainly want to avoid accidental key presses, feel more force when pushing the key down(I like how my old Dell Quietkey rubber dome board from 97' works, I cannot explain it, but I feel some feedback with it.) I need a keyboard with the full layout with the number pad and I do not want blank keys. I am not sure if I want Tactile or Linear, as they both get harder to push, the further the key is pushed, so I am asking the keyboard experts on what you think I should buy.
The way I type is really weird, one my left hand, I use one finger to type, and my right I use two/three. I can touch type like this somehow, but I do look at the keys sometimes.

Lmnop and I are the only two people I know of here with Trucker Girl! ;-)Show Image(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=10112&stc=1&d=1274289498)
Deck has a 30 day return policy no questions asked.
$202 is getting up into graphics card territory.

A keyboard will last you longer, though. Ripster and I will agree on that point.
I have the DECK "Toxic" which is linear and I love it. You should know however that I have industrial fingers so the pressure doesn't bother me. The backlight is better than anyone else has ever done (if you need that).
I wish Deck still sold the PBT Blanks :(
They still have sets of blank Deck keys at Performance PCs:

Illuminated blanks keys????
Not to be rude, but can we please get back to the topic here, of which switch and company to buy.
That is the thing, I am still looking at the cherry blacks, clears and, browns and I know to decide on brand by myself now.
is there anyone who uses cherry blacks that can give me an opinion on them for gaming or typing?
It's not the end of the world if you bottom out.
