Ordering first Mechanical
« on: Sat, 25 December 2010, 14:43:33 »
What to get, still kind of a newbie to mechanicals? I have always used razer keyboard, and I'm currently using one atm, however I am a pretty avid gamer and raid in a top WoW guild and really want a mechanical keyboard to increase my spam and reduce the impact on my fingers after many hours of raiding. :)

-I want something moderately loud, not something that is going to wake someone up through 3 walls, but I like the nice clicky clack noise
-I'm in the U.S., price isn't a huge issue.
-I would like a full keyboard
-I have looked at the new razer keyboard however the lack of n rollover and the different spacing from normal keyboard has me look elsewhere, I looked at the new zowie keyboard, and the keyboards on elitekeyboards.com however I cannot decide as there is so much to get but I am kind of lost :P
Could anyone suggest a good solid keyboard for me?

Where can I place these orders for any of the keyboard? Sorry for more newbie questions, I have looked around but cannot find any links.

What AndrewZorn said. Elitekeyboards is currently switching from Filco to Leopold. Once they have Leopolds in stock, I would probably recommend that, with Cherry MX Blue switches.

Or perhaps a Das keyboard will work out.

Or, get a Ducky with Cherry MX Blue switches.

Das Keyboard is shiny, it has a USB hub, and it's a little sturdier. The Ducky has a detachable cable, lockable windows keys, and caps, scroll and num lock LED's embedded under their keycaps.
