I bought a Razer BlackWidow w/ blue new from a local store for $60 and it was absolutely worth it. Mechanical keyboards make a WORLD of difference and I literally type faster with the keyboard!

Yeah, I had actually found a Sensei locally this weekend but took it back the next day. The software sucks and couldn't get the profiles to work properly. Spent a good chunk of the day online with a guy who to troubleshoot and found out it was a pretty common problem. Liked the feel of the mouse though, just wish their software matched the design quality.

The software is a bit tricky indeed but I don't realy use it that much, not a problem for me. The newest Steelseries mice have Steelseries Engine, it's just not as good as the (old) software that was used with the Xai Lasermouse which I am using.

The Logitech G5 is very populair because of it's shape, you might wanna try that one.

I wasn't able to add a profile to my Sensei without it defaulting to the one used for the engine. Also couldn't find a way to delete the other custom profiles on the mouse (even though they were deleted via the engine's software interface). After a few hours I gave up and took it back. I've talked to others who have had profile issues with the software (one guy took back 3 of them).

I used the G5 ages ago but need a higher DPI. Trying out the G700 which is nice. Had to switch to a hard mouse pad since it's laser and still getting used to the shape but at least the Logitech software works!

Hello All!

I'm taking my first foray into the world of Mechanical Keyboards.

I think I've settled on the Brown's, because they are a middle of the road switch, but I'm open to suggestions. I'm mainly playing video games and browsing the web.

I was thinking about getting a Das but then was told to avoid them because they recently switched manufacturers. They used to be made by Costar but are now made by iOne, which I hear is inferior.

Thanks thumb.gif

btw got to test my friend mechanichal ducky red swicth

tried it to all my family

no one like red switch, me too

i like soft touch, red switch got that characteristic
but the deeper push, making it not comfortable like regular keyboard

does that mean i need to test brown switch? or blue switch?

Where are you seeing that Das Keyboards switched to iOne as the OEM?

 

Also, browns are a good middle of the road switch for the most part; but how do you feel as a typist. Do you feel like you use a lot of force while typing?

 

Also, are you looking for an audible click?
