Title: Hi from Italy!
Post by: djmattm on Tue, 08 January 2013, 10:57:44

Hi guys, just discovered this great forum!
For now i just have a simple basic keyboard, but in the next future i'll surely buy a mechanical one!

I'm not sure yet, i don't write much but i videogame so i'm looking at keyboards with black/red switches, but the budget is really really tight as i'm a college student so the cheaper the better, any suggestions?

go for a CM quickfire, they are reasonably priced for a mech keyboard and you can find it in ITA layout too.

Ciao e benvenuto!

If you do mostly play games, then linear (blacks/reds) would be a better choice to start with.

As Matt3o suggested, a CoolerMaster Quickfire Rapid would be a good place to start - relatively cheap, but surprisingly high quality (I have one with blacks).

I just bought the Razer BlackWidow Tournament Stealth Edition, it's on sale on the Razer site for just 52 euros!

That should get you started :)

Let us know what you think of it after a couple of weeks.
