new mehanical keyboard
« on: Sun, 09 September 2012, 04:01:07 »
Hello guys, im new in the "world of mechanical keyboards" so i dont have a clue about mechanical keyboards and since my razer lycosa keyboard is dying im thinking about buying a new mechanical keyboard.
it has to be like a normal keyboard (+with numpad etc...) beacuse a saw few keyboards without numpad. and i would prefer "small enter" button http://i01.i.aliimg.com/img/pb/628/978/415/415978628_155.jpg like here but it is not that important.
price range -120€

I suggest reading this, it's a great start and will give you an idea on which switch type you want.

The CM Storm QuickFire Pro tends to be one of the best keyboards for the price, and Das is another good choice.

Welcome to Geekhack!

A good first choice for a keyboard, but good luck finding a local supplier.  Shipping costs can be quite high (as I have found in Australia).
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
