Buying new keyboard
« on: Thu, 13 June 2013, 01:29:48 »
Hello :) looking to buy a new keyboard. Currently have a Das Professional Quiet (brown switches). Bought in late 2010.

What I want:

-Blue switches (or whatever is clicky as possible)
-Number pad
-Backlit
-QWERTY
-NKRO

Hmm.. think that's it. I'm not sure if such a keyboard exists but hey.. figured i'd see what's out there. :D Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the help. I'm deciding between these now..

Black keys - chinese w/ white LED

The only thing with this one is i'm wondering if the chinese characters will make everything seem too busy looking? I assume they light up.

White keys - blue LED

Not sure if i'm digging the white keys, and I can't find any youtube videos of this particular one to look at the backlight. But I would prefer a blue backlight.

Wait a couple weeks for the shine III or the zero shine to be released if you want a ducky in my opinion.  They will probably be cheaper than the current stock.

I have this keyboard and love it.  I have it in red switches but they make it in blue as well.  They are out of stock on Max keyboard's website currently though for the blue switches.  I chose it over the Ducky because I like the costar stabilizers better.  It has full n key roll over over usb as well.  No need to mess with PS/2
