hi there' my G15 is almost half broken because of rages and stuff, so i decided to get a new keyboard.
which you would recommends i thought about the CM storm trigger or the K90 of corsair or the thermaltake G-UNIT or maybe even the SS 7g, i am not not from the US or the EU so its kinda problem to get the rares like filco(need to import from 3rd side company). i am mostly gaming but i type sometimes too.
thnx alot for help!!
btw i need keyboard that would survive rages and stuff
edit:
guys what you think about the zowie, bloitz here said that the keyboard is solid build, and quite good, i just want to ask last opinion on it, because i am pretty sure going to buy it, btw its coster made right?
thnx alot!!

No point in buying a fancy keyboard if you are going to act like a child, you'll break it.

IBM Model M is best for raging. It's both my wife's and teenage raging son's keyboard so I KNOW this for a fact.

If you can go TKL then get a CM Storm QuickFire Rapid. If not, I guess the Trigger would suffice...

Well it comes down to your preference in the feel of the cherries. If you want non-tactile linear switches, either red or black. If you enjoy the 'tactile' click or bump of blues/browns then get a board with brown/blue.

Personally I use a 10 Keyless quickfirerapid with cherry reds, having used all the cherries myself I prefer the reds best for gaming. I enjoy 10 keyless because it allows me to get a better angle on my mouse grip when using very wide mousepads like the puretrak talent which I currently use.

QuickFire Rapids are always best for the budget. I mean, it's essentially an $80 rebranded Filco (except with all this ugly labeling and fonts).

Not sure if they're available where you are though, so you'd have to look into that yourself...
