Which keyboard would geekhack'ers suggest on buying? Btw, I play SC2 and CS:S competitively, maybe that would help a bit. I was thinking about picking up a ducky 9008, white on white, and grab the additional black caps to make a checkered board. that would be pretty baller.
You seam to be leaning to Cherry switche boards. A good choice for couple reasons.
- They come in so many look and feel flavors.
- Available replacement keycaps
Are you interested in backlit?
Do you want a tactile (sexy bumps in the middle) or linear?
Do you like them hard or soft? (Actuation force required to register the key when you press them?)
Have a look at the Cherry switch wiki ->
Cherry+switches+and+boardsAccording to Razer (don't believe everthing you read on the Internet) the MX Blue are very popular amongst gamers.
As a Gamer myself I realy like the MX Clear (not many board options)
Hard core gamers here seam to like the MX Red (light touch linear)
Bottom line, you are on the right track with a ducky and it's a matter of personal taste for the switch you want (light, hard, tactile-clicky, tactile-quiet, linear)
EDIT: Forgot the most important for a gamer... Your keyboard must be NKRO ->
Key roll over WIKIShort story - NKRO assure all keys will register (in the order you pressed them) while keeping them all pressed.
