Board with MX blues
« on: Fri, 01 April 2011, 05:05:24 »
I have been looking around for a board that has blues that is NOT a filco, or leopold. I already have a filco with browns that I use to game with but I also want a good board that I can do all my schoolwork and programming on. I am just looking for suggestions of other boards with Mx blues.

How cheap do you want to go?

Blackwidow elite, cheapest on the market but it's got those rubber coated keycaps.

There's a couple of cherry blues boards in the classifieds at the moment if that's your bag. Speak of the devil, check ascaii's thread :-)

In terms of more commonly available boards, the Razer BlackWidow (regular version) is relatively cheap.

Then you've always got Das (they offer 24% student discount).

As asked before... What's your budget?

If you don't mind glossy black. The Darth Vader approved DAS has student discount if you live in the US.

If your dad outsources his business in India like most of the dads, then you can get a TVS Gold. Got mine for free as a token of business relationship. A gift is always nice and appreciated as  such. But the TVS worth what I paid for it.

Look at the wiki, I think it lists few brands per MX swiches.

I was definitely considering it and I think that is a good idea. I would have bought kidchunks's RK-9000 just dont have the money yet. To an earlier question I would prefer a full size. willing to spend up to 130$ (hopefully getting some money soon)

The Rosewill RK-9000 is apparently not that bad. It goes for about $70, I believe.

That's what it normally cost when it's available. $70 was some really nice sale that happened last year for some folks.

I have the Rosewill. Excellent keyboard at its price point except for (in my case) premature key fading.

I don't know how well liked it is or not.

That is the oem version of the blackwidow. So it can't be that bad haha

I wish I could get a full sized white filco with blues. That would be nice.
