Title: Does best buy have mech keyboards i can try?
Post by: Air tree on Sun, 01 September 2013, 09:56:59
Well i'm going out to lunch today with my family and that place is right next to a best buy and i was wondering does best buy have any mech keyboards? I was checking out their online site and it seems they have coolermaster, Das, and logitech, but i was wondering does that still translate over to their actual store?

The most they'll have are Razer blackwidows and steelseries 6gv2

You might want to give them a call. They might have razer but not Das. Have you seen max keyboard cherry max switch set? It has mx blue, brown, black and red on a pcb. http://www.maxkeyboard.com/max-keyboard-keycap-cherry-mx-switch-o-ring-sampler-kit.html

Don't make the same mistake as me and forget that the Logitech has o-rings preinstalled while the Razer does not :))

If you're lucky enough to live near a MicroCenter, I would try there instead.

Well i'm back and i could only try the blackwidow a little bit but i couldn't try the g710+ because they wouldn't take it out of the box, but i have concluded that i love Cherry mx blues.

That was also my conclusion after trying out the Blackwidow at our local electronics market!

You probably won't be wrong with this decision  :thumb:
