Title: First time mechanical keyboard user..help me choose?
Post by: leeboii on Wed, 10 April 2013, 04:11:14

Here are the three that I am looking into:

1. Das Keyboard (Mac version) http://www.daskeyboard.com/model-s-professional-for-mac/
2. Matias Quiet Pro http://www.matias.ca/quietpro/mac/
3. Matias Laptop Pro http://matias.ca/laptoppro/mac/   

I'm very interested in the Matias Laptop Pro because of its bluetooth functions and because it is compatible for my Macbook Pro. Is the Das Keyboard with the Cherry Blue switches really THAT loud? The last thing I am looking for is a REALLY loud keyboard which might annoy everyone around me and make me go insane as well :P and I don't want to pay extra for O-rings.

Suggestions? Thanks

Are those the only three you are looking at? because for that price I would much rather get something else. Would you get a tenkeyless board? What kind of switches are you looking for, tactile or linear? It would help to know a little bit more about what you are looking for to give suggestions.
