Title: What keyboard should I get?
Post by: nekonoko on Fri, 05 August 2011, 11:53:23

I game a lot, mostly StarCraft 2, League of Legends and World of Warcraft. I'm not really into FPS.

I was looking for a Topre RealForce but not sure if I should go for weighted or all 55g. Other keyboard suggestions are OK.

I do accounting so a numpad is a must.

And I game with any and all of my boards, and I have lots of different switch types that you can no longer buy new or at least at retail.

I'd say getting a variable one would be a bad plan as far as gaming is concerned. It would be weird while gaming to be pushing buttons that don't all respond the same.

I have a beautiful white 86U Realforce with a matching number pad I could see you with.

For gaming I'd recommend Cherry browns hands down, especially for RTS. You can buy a separate numpad for your accounting needs if you get a tenkeyless. It is very much in the way during gaming. If you are definitely going Realforce get all the same actuation. The differences will mess you up pretty bad in gaming.
