There are actually a fair number of people on here from that part of the world ... Europe in general, but I know there's a few from Poland specifically.

Most of the talk that flys fast and furious on this board centers around the idea of making you own keyboard from scratch. But there's nothing wrong with buying a keyboard that a company has produced for you. In the 'classifieds' section, you'll find people selling their own things (with headings like [FS] or [WTS] -- 'for sale' and 'want to sell' respectively) some of which are, again, in europe, thus reducing shipping costs quite a bit.

There are also 'vendor forums' for various board members who either make keyboards, parts, or modify them -- some of whom are representative of companies officially in the business of selling keyboards. MechanicalKeyboards comes to mind, and I believe EliteKeyboards is at least on that side of the 'pond' if across the way from your end of Europe.

 Good luck in your search for a better keyboard and welcome to the forum, Arscon

That's a bit unfortunate, I don't think that Filco makes any backlit boards. If you just need a basic board, with TKL as you don't seem to do any coding  or whatnot, a good choice is the Ducky Shine 3 TKL coming out very soon (if not today), which has the most backlighting options period. Otherwise, there are too many backlit TKL keyboards to count.

For switches, if you play games, Reds would be a good choice (blacks too, but they're heavy and I dislike them). If you like typing more or want a balance, probably browns. Since you game, I wouldn't recommend Blues.

Buy a Ducky Shine 2, or 3. Get it with Cherry MX Red switches. You will like that.

That's a good one for CS GO, and its illuminated.

Switches are all personal preference, everyone is different,  maybe you could try red or blacks?

Aha, pro gamer, now you're speaking my language (even if your English isn't perfect)

I'm friends with a bunch of Pro CS:GO players (most notably a member of the NiP squad). Most of them seem to prefer MX reds or MX blacks, with 2-3 of them preferring MX browns. My preference is MX blacks.

You can always pay a proxy to send you the keyboard, for a small fee.

Red Switches are the way to go for gaming . And if you have the budget , go for topre

inb4 tip4tissue comes in with an Ergodox.




Honestly, if you've never tried mechanical switches, I would say go for MX Browns. It's a jack-of-all-trades/Master-of-none switch, and helps you get your bearings.

Don't go topre for CS:GO. You miss out on a lot of important (but not 100% necessary) keyboard tricks.

Floating switches is a pain in the butt on topre.

Go with the blacks. A lot of people find that reds are too soft and they misspress. Also blacks are good because its either CSGO or facebook, and facebook doesn't require much tacticity in typing.

For backlit, go with the shine 3 TKL, its one of the best in terms of backlit boards

.. You immediately sell your keyboard when you realize that you could have had tactile/clicky/lighter keys which are better on the fingers.

A joke which will be lost to time, eventually, except I'm going to point out to archivists of the next century, that at this time TacticalStache's avatar is simply the words "pls no drama"

<- bows
a well executed joke, Bane. I am amused. Hopefully internetters of the twenty third and a half century will appreciate your wit as well.

A lot of people find reds too light and result in accidental keypresses.
Title: Re: New Keyboard to game
Post by: rowdy on Thu, 07 November 2013, 03:52:09
Blacks are good for gaming - less accidental key presses.

But bear in mind that if you need to hold down 1 key, you need to exert 60g pressure with one finger.

If you need to hold down 2 keys at the same time, that's 120g pressure with one hand.

3 keys at the same time is 180g pressure with one hand.

And so on.

If you don't have reasonably strong hands, you could quickly start feeling fatigue.

siemanko, nie słuchaj ich :). Tak na poważnie dali Ci już wszystkie rady jakie tylko możliwe. niestety sam wiesz jak bardzo pojebany jest nasz kraj i jak ciężko będzie Ci dostać coś innego poza razerem i steelseries..... ale uwierz warto ja już to przeszedłem i lepiej wydać pare groszy więcej. Ogólnie zajebiście uderzyłeś w temat. Ja bym na Twoim miejscu poszedł tak albo filco jak nie chcesz lampek albo ducky jak potrzebujesz podświetlenia. Spokojnie zmieścisz się w limicie cenowym. Co do switcha to topry nie nadają się do grania w więszkości, cherry mx brown albo czerwone tego szukasz:)

Cheers (:

Reds, blacks, linear grays (j/k)... only way for the OP to know what would be best is to try some if possible.
