Hello guys.
I want to buy a good mechanical keyboard.
Atm i am owning a Logitech G15 Refresh.
Currently i don't really know what to buy.
I've read alot atm and went through many pages and keyboards.
6gv2 - Good & cheap. Dealbreaker: Printing on the keys is bad & changed layout.
7g - Same as 6gv2 with some ports and wrist rest.. 50€/$ more for that.. duhh no.
Razer Blackwidows - Expensive and quality / design flaws as it seems, no.
Filco Majestouch 2 Ninja - How awsome does this look? Wow. Really expensive 169€, the hell. If it wouldn't be that expensive i would've bought it i guess.
das Keyboard Silent - Awsome look, nice switches. Dealbreaker is more the glossy finish.
Ducky DK9000 / DK9008 - Awsome Keyboard.. i guess it's bit cheaper than the Majestouch.. but i can't find it in EU..
WASDKeyboards - They do seem nice.. but not for EU shipping as i've seen
...
Well atm i do think about getting the dasKeyboard Silent:

Looks really promising.. or do you think i should get another?
2nd: Which Keyswitches do you prefer?
I kinda think the browns are nice.
They are sweet silent and more like a mix of blues & blacks.

I prefer the dasKeyboard over it.
But those mechanical Keyboards are kinda another level of typing & gaming.
Here is a sample :3

about the keyswitches,
blue for typing brown for gaming.
As a steelseries fan not recommending their keyboards, they suck because of 1 thing: that backspace button. Who the fuck is so dumb to make it this small. Like really is there anything more annoying than that?
The brown ones are more silent (blue have an annoying sound and i have the feeling my mum will kill me when shes sleeping) & have the tactile feedback.
They are a mix of blue and blacks.. which is a nice combo for me though.
It's like they are a good balance of between typing & gaming. The brown keys on the dasKeyboard do look really solid. Better than on the Razer Blackwidow Stealth for some strange reason.
Yeah, that changed layout is so strange.
Don't know fuck all about mice though.
They used to have strange fascinations with mice though
No problems whatsoever.
The Qpad MK-50 is a reasonable alternative to the ones you mentioned. Depending on what switches you want, you can get it for ~80EUR (MX-Red) or ~100EUR (MX-Brown/Blue/Black).
Filco and WASD are too expensive for us Europeans imo. The switches will last forever anyway, and the keycaps WILL get shiny, no matter what keyboard you buy.
