Hi everybody!
« on: Thu, 29 October 2015, 15:14:19 »
+/I've been a lurker on /r/mechanicalkeyboards for a while and decided to make an account here since there seems to be a lot more discussion here. I'm a developer and a gamer, so I spend at least 12+ hours a day at a keyboard, making them very important for me.

I bought a blackwidow stealth with browns when they were new, but it recently died and I'm in the market for a replacement keyboard that I can use for both coding and gaming. Right now I'm looking at the Code keyboard, the poker 3, and the CM Novatouch.

Welcome to GH and the wonderful world of keyboards! It could take a while until you find what you really like, and until then it is fun to find this out :)

Love my novatouch they can usually be bought second hand for pretty cheap. Definitely take the time to see what size is best for you.

Since I have keycaps already I was thinking of getting in on this massdrop, but that ends in 3 days.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Any of the three keyboards you have listed will be great!

The CODE can ping a bit, especially with stiffer switches, although mine with MX clears has a very quiet ping when it pings at all.

Pok3r is fantastic if you are looking for a 60% keyboard (also consider HHKB).

NOvatouch is a good compromise between Topre and MX, although it is only available in 45g variant at this stage.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
