Someone convince me that it is reasonable to buy two keyboards in a week? First Model M is on its way, a first Cherry seems necessary no?

I'm of the opinion that buy them when you find them. None of these pesky "buy one a week" or some such.

Now, you can only do this up to your allotted budget, though. Then it's back to the schedule, assuming your budget is on a schedule.

In for 1

always wanted to try a mechanical keyboard but could never find a justifiable price for a first keyboard.

Thanks OP!

No problem. I did return the BW when I first got it, not because I didn't like it, but I ended up getting a Filco Brown plus 2 Noppoo Choc Minis in the next month.

Enjoy the BW, I do miss the macro keys. It was pretty awesome.

Gosh I wish they would sell me less of it for the same price.

as in tenkeyless? just break the right side yourself ;P

Hmm.. It just occurred to me that I could buy this, and replace the crappy Filco keys with the POM ones from the Razer. Font is a little funny, but by all accounts the keys are much nicer. Not that much more than the $50 or so the Ducky keys are going for, and I get a spare board full of blue switches.

Haven't been able to find a picture of anyone taking off any of the longer keys though..

UPDATE:
Ehh nevermind, looks like the code is dead.

I've been lurking here, waiting for a good deal to pop up. I received the BlackWidow yesterday, and I am loving it. The keys have a nice light, yet tactile feel to them. While there is an auditory click with each keypress, it is not too loud. I should be able to take this into work as I had planned.

I'm testing this on my desktop at home where I temporarily swapped out my Model M, and surprisingly I don't miss it too much.

My gambling habit is now supporting my newly acquired keyboard taste. Sooooo.. until next win.

I picked one up... I do like the keyboard and the ability to map keys and record macros is really nice; I do hate the glossy finish.

BlueRain · « **Reply #16 on:** Thu, 27 January 2011, 17:05:58 »

Glad the deal worked out for you guys. agree on the glossy finish...

Thanks, I'll probably be posting more often, but I hope to resist the urge to spend more money on keyboards.

noodles256 · « **Reply #18 on:** Mon, 31 January 2011, 10:29:00 »

i definately returned mine =/. i do like the blue switches, and it being my first mechanical keyboard. i think i will stick with blue, i love the noise it makes. however, the keyboard itself was not very good imo

Lethal Squirrel · « **Reply #19 on:** Mon, 31 January 2011, 14:47:22 »

I agree with that. I don't really like the build quality of the black widow.
