Title: Buy Suggestions Thread
Post by: Firebolt1914 on Thu, 05 June 2014, 16:33:49
I was hoping that there would be a few buy suggestion threads, where people asked questions about what to buy, but it seems like everyone just makes a separate thread for that. So ITT: questions about what to buy. I'll start: Should I get a Realforce 55g Uniform, Poker/Poker II with MX Panda Clears, or a Model F?

Model F if you can get it to work consistently.  Poker Panda Clear if not.  :)

duck viper or eagle?

And which numpad to buy?

The korean one shown on the same website with the duck eagle and viper looks really nice but I can't seem to find that anywhere

See this is why I don't think this works - there's a lot of factors that play into what would be a good keyboard for one, and it differs for each person. In your case you picked three completly different boards! A lot of this is also opinion and a matter of taste.

Anyways I'm going to try to help you:
Realforce if you like Topre.
Poker if you like 60%s and MX and customization/modding.
Model F if you like clicky switches and an "old school" look.

Yeah, I understand, but that doesn't stop people from making these threads. I just want to condense all those threads into one giant super thread if possible

Also, i've decided on the Realforce because the 'thunk' feedback seems more appealing to me than a click (Model F). I think I'm just going to get MX Clears in the future.
