Title: New to nice?
Post by: anphrax on Fri, 28 December 2012, 19:43:23

Haven't really ever had a nice keyboard. Girlfriend told me she wanted to buy be something nice so I think I'm going to settle on a mechanical keyboard. Looking at a Ducky Shine 2 with blues but I'd like to try out the different types before I commit.
Thanks!  :eek:

Welcome to Geekhack!

Try this first:  http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/wasd-sampler-kit.html

It's not the most realistic way to test keys, but it's way cheaper than buying 5 or 6 different boards, and it's cheap!

Welcome to Geekhack!

A Ducky Shine is a good keyboard (I have 2), if you want backlighting.  If not, a CoolerMaster Quickfire Rapid is a good, reliable alternative without backlighting (or a numpad), and is about half the price.
