Hi, new guy here.
Hey everyone, I've recently picked up a Quickfire rapid with blues, fell in love, ordered custom keycaps, painted the frame, the whole 9 yards.
Now at my office, I've recently replaced my 1080p monitor with my extra korean 1440 I had laying around. but Still am stuck with the office issued dell scissor switch board.
I'm a drafter, so all day i'm punching in numbers and commands, and while back I picked up a razer nostromo, which i love and had made my work TONS easier, faster, and more productive.
So I've been looking at getting the orbweaver ( with browns as blues would be way too loud in an office, though i'm considering going with them anyway because I use blues at home ) But the cost of the device put me off ( $100+ ) since you can get a fully mech keyboard for that price, I ended up going with the corsair k95 ( mx reds ) since it has 18 macro keys that I thought would help replace the usefullness of the nostromo. at $150 it was only $20 more than the MSRP of the orbweaver, and I found it local so I can always take it back without having to deal with shipping cost.
After using it for a few days at work, i can tell the corsair board is not as good as a drafting tool, but I love the all mech board ( though i'm not the biggest fan of mx reds ) But I feel like it has a better bang for the buck, since getting the orbweaver and a cheaper mech board would run me around $200.
Basically, with the nostromo, I never have to take my hands off it and my mouse, which means speed, and speed=money.
Any suggestions on what to do? note this is my own personal money that i'm using to upgrade my office space, so i'm stuck thinking either keep the k95, return it for an orbweaver, and get a mech key later on, or just return the k95, use what I got, and keep $150 in my pocket.
Suggestions, Ideas, etc?
