Im Looking for my First Mechanical Keyboard.
« on: Sat, 10 December 2011, 10:44:44 »
Im wanting to get my first mechanical keyboard. I already know i'm wanting a 104 key layout. I dont really want a tenkeyless or anything. So if you guys could help me pick out a new mechanical keyboard it would be much appreciated. Also if you guys need to know anything else just ask.

I don't think this question has been asked before.
