I'm a pretty decent FPS player and I've been reading about mechanical keyboards for what it seems like a year now.. interested in making the leap.
I love my numpad, so tenkeyless is not an option, cable length has no significance since my comp is right next to my desk, and backlit keys are not necessary since I find it unbearable to game in the dark.
Currently using the Microsoft Sidewinder X4, the feel is decent, but I don't know what decent is since I have never put my hands on a mechanical keyboard. After 1 year the WASD key paint on my Sidewinder X4 started to peel off excessively, so I'm looking for good durability (probably isn't an issue anymore). As said earlier, I never set my hands on a mech keyboard so I don't know what I'm looking for... any stores generally carry demo models of mechanical keyboards? I haven't seen any yet..
Picking between MX Blacks or MX browns. Leaning towards MX Blacks due to the much cheaper price and more of the "gamer" advertising, but I have read that a lot of people moved from Blacks to Browns and never thought about going back. I guess I can pick my own preferences, but OCN input would be nice...
My budget isn't really specified, but I would be going for the best price/performance/durability ratio. I've been looking at the CM Quickfire Pro keyboard, at the moment there is no MX Black version but according to CM live chat they will have them in stock within the next 2-3 weeks...
thanks!
