Title: New member needs new keyboard
Post by: kentalish on Fri, 29 July 2011, 03:19:58: Hey there I am new here found this super duper site while looking for keyboards.

I know barely anything about keyboards but I do need a new one... right now I have a logitech g-15 and i think it is time for an upgrade

I don't have any places or friends to ask to try their mechanical keyboards so I thought I would ask you guys

I play all sorts of video games from fps to rts to mmos... and basically I am at my computer all day so I would like a nice keyboard that is reliable.

TBH I was going to just buy 2 qsenns and make a checkerboard... but after seeing this site I don't know anymore and I would like advice from people who know what they are talking about

Thank you

It's a better deal IMO, plus the guy running the company is a Geekhacker so you'll get great support :-)

But collecting is half of the fun!
