What keyboard should I get?
« on: Fri, 05 August 2011, 11:53:23 »
I game a lot, mostly StarCraft 2, League of Legends and World of Warcraft. I'm not really into FPS.

I was looking for a Topre RealForce but not sure if I should go for weighted or all 55g. Other keyboard suggestions are OK.

I do accounting so a numpad is a must.

And I game with any and all of my boards, and I have lots of different switch types that you can no longer buy new or at least at retail.

I'd say getting a variable one would be a bad plan as far as gaming is concerned. It would be weird while gaming to be pushing buttons that don't all respond the same.

For gaming I'd recommend Cherry browns hands down, especially for RTS. You can buy a separate numpad for your accounting needs if you get a tenkeyless. It is very much in the way during gaming. If you are definitely going Realforce get all the same actuation. The differences will mess you up pretty bad in gaming.
