Thread Starter 
Looking for a good Mechanical Keyboard for Games like
-Starcraft 2 , League of Legends . Heroes Of newerth.


Ive seen a few threads but i want some more input , such as people who own them . or if anyone can direct to one with good reviews etc.


The one i had in mind was a Das Ultimate Keyboard 2 , i think , one a Professional SC2 Player uses.

Looking for suggestions.

I currently have a Logitech G510 and i don't really like it , considering putting up for sale when replaced.

Do you know if the silent version uses a different type of switch?

None at all. The only complaint I had was the glossiness because it would make fingerprints visible, etc. I eventually stopped caring all together.

Yep. Ultimate uses blues and the silent uses browns.

How do browns feel in comparison to blues? Are they easier to push and if so is there less of a "tactile" feel than with the blues?

Browns are more low profile than blue, not as much of a tactile feedback and not as much of a bump. They're still tactile though. A lot of people prefer browns over blues for RTS gaming and such, but I like blues for everything.

I play FPS and a little bit of MOBA and all I have used is blue, thanks for answering my questions ;D
