New keyboard
« on: Tue, 22 March 2011, 08:07:49 »
Hi guys,
i need a professional advice from the veterans here on the board :D.

Im from Germany and want a new keyboard, now im using the G-80 with blues.
I like it but the formfactor and the non existing stealplate are some cons.
So i searched for some variants and found the "Das Keyboard", "Filco tenkyless" or should i wait for the "Xarmor" to be released here at europe?

Or do u have some other boards to be tried out? The board should have blues, thats the only thing i need :D and of course the german layout.

Ok thanks for advice!

Filco at thekeyboardco.com ?
It seems to be the best choice in Europe.

Or, but it's not blue, a Unicomp with german layout.

Razer Blackwidow might be a good shout if you are looking for a board with back lighting and blue switches.

Sure go for a Blackwidow - Especially if you are interested in total random quality, poor customer service and of course – "Ultrapolling" at 1000 Hz…

I thought Ripster was a bit extreme when he said don't bother with the XArmor and go straight for a Deck. Growing older and wiser, I chose not to say anything. You can't go wrong with a Deck anyway. Awsome board with top notch quality.

But Razer? I couldn't resist.

He doesn't need backlight, so a filco or a modded g80-1800 with blues (very rare).

Well he did mention XArmor... He didn't say backlit.

Some XArmor are backlit some aren't. The risky assumption - Why would he want a standard XArmor over a DAS or a Filco if not for the backlit feature?

So the backlit proposal was not far off.

But you are right... He didn't ask about quality either.

"Im from Germany and want a new keyboard"
"(...) Stealplate (...) The board should have blues"

MX Blue + Stealplate
Maybe backlit

Stay focus

Since I can't post attachement in PM here's what I'm talking about with the Deck dark gray finish wearing off after a while. The black spot is where my finger rest during gameplay


It's a minor cosmetic issue.
