Welcome to GeekHack, where Razer and Corsair are generally frowned upon keyboard name-brands x.x(they don't totally suck)At any rate, I hope you do find another board to suit your tastes. Is there anything you've been looking at in particular?

Is there anything you've been looking at in particular?Now I feel badI've been looking at the Ducky Mini, but really wish they were available in clears. The YotH edition looks tempting too especially since it is my animal in the chinese zodiac. I'm really leaning towards clears now after ordering a sampler kit from wasd so if they don't come out in them I might look at something else. Also I realized I posted this thread twice. Not a good start...

Not a good start...Don't feel bad! You won't be bashed on for using a Razer or Corsair keyboard; a lot of people start with those. They're still very much an upgrade from a membrane keyboard. You're not the only one here that started with/still uses a Razer/Corsair. It's totally a preference thing and you're entitled to your opinions. I personally like typing on my Corsair.And don't worry about the double-post. That's a known issue with the forum. Still don't know why it hasn't been fixed.
Thanks glad to know it wasn't me. Yeah I like my Corsair but reds just aren't my thing. I end up fat fingering keys when gaming and pressing the wrong ones more often when typing. Didn't really have that one with the Razer one. I'll be checking around the forums to see what my options are.
K70 was a gateway board for me If it wasn't for the K70, I would never have discovered this community. I still think it's one of the better looking boards out there.

It's the only board Corsair offers with a switch other than Reds.Razer has clicky switches while the Corsair you have uses linear switches. Have you considered a tactile switch like the Browns or even the Clears?

Yeah I ordered a sampler kit from WASD and I really like the Clears. The browns weren't bad either but the Clears had a more noticeable bump which I really liked.

It's usually found on display in Best Buy's PC gaming section. My experience with Browns is that the tactile bump is very noticeable when compared to Reds' complete lack of feedback. Like you, I initially thought that I would barely be able to feel the bump from Browns when I tried my sampler.Pretty much any keyboard can be used as a "gaming keyboard" with AutoHotkey. You'd be surprised at how many support macros.
