Title: Does Anyone Own a TG3 BL82?
Post by: themadreason on Tue, 15 November 2011, 12:32:07

I saw some on Ebay for a reasonable price.  I read about the rubber splash guard giving "tactile feedback" to black MX switches on the web site.  Does this system really work?  Would anyone recommend this keyboard?  Does the layout get cramped for typing?

Yes it does give tactile feedback on mx blacks....but at the cost of roughly doubling the actuation force required.

It is only 2kro, so keep that in mind.

I never felt cramped with it.

I would definitely recommend it as long as you know what you are getting. I also recommend running it without the blood spatter guard.

Cool.  Thanks for the info.  I am leery of using a black MX switch for typing, but these keyboards look like they are extremely well made.  It is very tempting....
