Any recommendations on a new keyboard?
« on: Mon, 02 January 2012, 15:47:36 »
So I bought a Ducky 1087XM with green alps, just wanted to try a mechanical keyboard cheaply, and wanted something that provides a nice audio feedback, its a bit quieter than I expected, and it takes quite a bit of force to actuate, Im not sure what I should try next Ive been looking at Blue, Browns and Reds, leaning towards blues but Im not sure which one I want, I do a lot of typing and games any recommendations?  I was thinking either a Filco Majetouch or a Rosewill RK-9000 myself but what do you experts think?

~2 people ask this question every day.
(No hate, I did...)

But yea, go with a Rosewill or Filco, both have good quality and from what Ive heard there pretty much even.

People need more information before they can really suggest keyboards for you.

-where do you live?

-what is your price range?

-what type of layout do you want/need?
