wait for leopold or get a filco?
« on: Fri, 25 March 2011, 22:41:38 »
hey i was wondering what i should get for my first mechanical keyboard. i'm planning on getting blue switches, but i was wondering whether it would be fine for games like tf2, heroes of newerth, and sc2.

also should i just wait till the end of next week for some news about the leopold or just buy the filco off of amazon with 2 day ship for free

at $99 the leos is probably a better deal.

I like Black switches, but most people hate them. Browns are a safe bet.

Blues would be fine too, as long as it doesn't bother people around you.

I suggest Leopold, as it's cheaper and has a removable USB cable. That is if you don't mind waiting.

I'm waiting until the end of the month to see what happens.  I already pre-ordered though and expect to get some news of some kind.  I did my research and feel it's worth the wait and I believe the $99 price tag is tempory and so I grabbed.  Here's the EK page on the Leopolds(Leos).
