Well, what d'ya know, I also play Piano as a hobby.
As for finding people near me with these keyboards, it's a bit difficult, because I wouldn't even know where to look, and nobody I know owns is enough of an enthusiast to own a mechanical keyboard. On a side note, I really love what the Razer Black Widow looks like. I hear it uses MX Blue switches which I don't think I'd like at all, however, and it probably won't be of the build quality of a mechanical keyboard from a dedicated manufacturer.
Anyway, I think I'll just wait a bit for the Das to be in stock somewhere near me.
You guys have been a great help, thanks. I'm open to any more advice by the way
Edit: I'm using a roll-out tray under my desk for my current thick rubber dome keyboard, and the thickness really bothers me because my hands hit the top of the desk a lot. I'm a bit worried, as I've just discovered the Model S is also very thick (about 24mm). This might pose a problem for me. I really love how the Black Widow looks, and it's really unfortunate how it uses MX Blue switches which are apparently quite annoying when gaming; However, it is made by Razer, a gaming company, and by that fact shouldn't the Black Widow be a great gaming keyboard? Maybe the Black Widow uses some other type of switch. I think I'll wait for the Black Widow to come out and for some reviews before really deciding, though. Basically, it's really difficult to decide on a keyboard.
Last edit,
read me first: So basically, this is what's up. All guns are pointed to the Das Silent Model S. I love the glossy finish and Cherry Browns. It is very thick, but I think I can live with that. I'll wait for the Razer BlackWidow to come out to see if it uses different Cherry Blue switches, in which case I might consider it. Thanks for all your help guys, still open to advice.
