Hey guys,
So I'm not exactly sure of how this whole mechanical keyboard fetish developed, but after reading up on them and seeing some of the prices, I had to go try them out for myself.
After a bit of typing on a siig and razer's blackwidow, I was in love. Only problem is - neither of those keyboards seem to be very well-liked here.
The big complaints I see about razer are it's..
1. strangely placed F keys
2. glossy surface
3. giant size
..as for the siig - the huge enter key / tiny backspace kills it for me.
But the razer is also $70 shipped from amazon right now, and I have a $20 gift card sitting around for them, which makes for an attractive deal.
The other keyboard I've been looking into are the Rosewill RK-9000, but knowing that people paid $75 for that a few weeks ago bothers me a little.
Also, ducky boards and a few of the tenkeyless ones are looking very nice as well (mainly because no print keys just look a lot nicer) but they carry a $140-ish tag so they're out for now. I also use my numpad quite a bit so I'm not sure if I'd be able to adapt well to the alternative layouts.
I guess my budget is somewhere around $50-80, I would prefer mx blues, and a little style wouldn't hurt anyone. I've already been turned off on the ione and adesso boards by doing some research here, but suggestions / opinions are welcome and appreciated!
