my consumer UPS
Ducky Shine is the only backlit mechanical keyboard I would recommend. I have a Black Widow Ultimate too and it pales compared to my Ducky. For a mix of gaming and typing, Brown switch all the way!
If no need for backlit, Filco or DAS.
The Shine is a nice keyboard, but Deck board are great from my experience with them, too. Another option for backlit mechanical.
Bose.
hmm yeah rosewill's keyboard and parts always interest me. they generally are a 4star out of 5 brand but have been going up lately. im interested in their boards. know if they are any good actualy though? when i first heard of their new board. i never thought mechanicals were that good :/
I just got a Rosewill with Reds at work and I like it quite a bit. I have a Das at home with Browns and love the feel of either, basically a preference. Rosewill if you prefer classic styling, Das if you want flashier. The reds are a good switch, but I still think the browns are a more universally appealing switch.
Another thing to note is some people are saying that browns/reds (basically anything not blue) are silent. This isn't really true, they are still almost always louder than rubber domes, they are considered quiet because blues are really loud. If you get really good at not bottoming out you can get fairly silent but it still is going to be louder than an average rubber dome (totally worth it in my opinion, but some people might be surpsied if they think they are getting something that will be 100% silent)
thanks for the info buck but im still a little itssy and on the edge on mechanic and gaming keyboard :/ i mean...the mechanicals are all..idk...
I really like that Senjougahara figurine.
I do wonder, how on earth are you going to use your mouse like that?
inb4 how do you type on that
Mechanicals should also last 3 times as long as a rubber dome, unless you spill your drink...
the way they look and everything ..i don't know
so for $100. the rosewill

is a good deal right?
You need to look at your keys to type? Feh.
Blank keys are actually really nice if you want to swiftly change to a different key layout in software. Doesn't really help you if you're in the BIOS, though.
Your keyboard gets damaged if you spill your drink on it? Feh.
And this is why I advocate buckling springs. A well-built Model M will last practically forever. (Hell, I could probably whack my EnduraPro on someone's skull, and it wouldn't be the keyboard that breaks...)
Newegg is sold out, so good luck on that.
