Hey everyone, I'm glad to have been directed to your forum! I am in need of some advice for an upgrade from the membrane I've been using for years and years. I'm both an aspiring writer as well as an avid PC gamer, and have been looking into giving my fingers a better experience behind the wheel.
My research thus far has taught me that I would prefer the Cherry MX Browns for their mix of typing and gaming functionality, and was close to picking up the Das Keyboard Professional Model S Silent. However, as I was doing some digging around I found some reviews on their new models being less reliable and of poor build quality (including a topic from geekhack!). This puts me somewhat back on square one, so now I'm turning towards the people who know their stuff for help! I would like to keep the price around $100-$130 if possible, full keyboard layout. I don't need macros or backlights, just something I know is going to be a decent starter investment. Located in the US.
Any help would be appreciated, I look forward to being able to join you all on the side of mechanical keyboards round Christmas time!
