IBM Model M or Cherry MX ?
« on: Sat, 12 November 2011, 09:58:37 »
Would you recommend me a IBM Model M or a Cherry MX keyboard, for a FPS Gamer?
Or something else? Money is not an issue.


inb4 personal preference: I've never used any of those keyboards so I just go with your preference :)

For fps get a cherry. I would go with either brown, red or black.

I prefer Cherry blues over IBM model M.  Lighter switch.
My keyboards: Filco Cherry Blue Tenkeyless(daily home), Compaq MX11800 (modded to blacks), Compaq "MX 84u",  Wellington\'s Dampened Endurapro, Pinkalicious Filco Blue Cherry, Chicony KB-5191, Chicony KB-5181, Desko MOS 5023 UP "elbowglue" spos (modded to blues), Siig Minitouch (monterey blue), SMK-88 (blue cherries), Ricercar SPOS
Smallest to biggest keyboards in inches (Length X Height) - Length is most important for a midline mouse position
