Over the last few years I've had three mechanical keyboards. The first was a wasdkeyboards v2 w/ cherry MX red switches. It always felt unergonomical to me. After a number of months without ever really getting comfortable with it, I switched to a Logitech G610 Orion red. I liked this one a lot better. It wasn't without flaws. Logitech's software is always a little bloaty and the volume wheel squeeked when I used it. My girlfriend "borrowed" this keyboard. Borrowed is in quotes because I haven't gotten it back in more than a year. Oh well, at least she uses it every day. My most recent keyboard is a Leopold FC750R. This time around I went with black switches and was glad I did! Turns out I prefer a heavier actuation force. As for the keyboard itself, it's a huge step up from the other two. It's heavier than a brick and the keys feel fantastic. I could shout from the rooftops how much I like this thing. I don't ever want to type on anything else.
Thank you for your service.I currently own a Dell keyboard, been using this for 8 years and it is still working properly.
You should get a switch sampler of Gaterons. They are WAY smoother than Cherry switches... Their blacks are about the same as far as actuation force goes, but they feel soo much smoother during the keys travel... Cherry's tend to feel scratchy based on the plastics they use in their stems
Interesting fact is that older Cherry MX Black switches are perfectly smooth. I'm not sure why they changed. People usually refer to them as the "vintage" ones. They're my favorite Cherry switches. Though, my favorite switch is the 55 gram force Topre.
