I wrote a question about which one to get. Unfortunately, I´m on a budget. I was told the one with Cherry Reds.

 A friend of mine told me about you guys, and that you´ld never give me bad advice :)

Well, I´m glad to say I´m not the only "aging" geek. I am the proud founder of clan MPA in SC2 on NA server. We are counting 70+ members now and most of us is beyond 30. Oldest member so far is 61 :)

Well guys, seems my question remains unanswered. I´m on a budget but my Logitech G15 no longer does very well. I need a new keyboard and was told to get one with Cherry Reds. What do you think ? I´ve seen the Steelseries G6V2 at a reasonable price, but was adviced against it. So.... what alternatives do I have ?

"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
