I'm a front-end developer who use to game a lot, really getting into enhancing my profession by upgrading my keyboards lately
I've owned a Razer blackwidow with Cherry MX Blues for the longest time, and really wanted a mechanical for work. After a lot of research I decided on the WASD V2 87 keyboard with Brown switches and o-ring sound dampeners.

I really REALLY love it
What I like most about WASD is their design aesthetic. The keys feel like they were designed by someone in touch to the core on principles like the golden ratio
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio. The lines and curves are all in the right place, everything feels tight and clean, nothing extra, nothing un-needed. I wouldn't say a minimal design, I would say the right design.
WASD also provides the most customization options from any company I've seen. I choose the keys with the light gray and dark gray colors because they really harken back / pay homage to the original mechanical keyboards, but have a very modern look.
My next project is going to be designing a 104 key WASD V2 with Cherry MX Green switches
From what I've read they are just like the Blues, but with 30 more grams of force needed for actuation. That sounds like typing pleasure to me
Anyways hi!
