[QUOTE=Roll_Program;43957473]I feel really weird because I prefer the membrane style keyboards, if you find a good one, the keys are still high quality but it takes barely any force to depress the keys and you still have the tactile feedback.

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;43963560]Does faggot apply to bisexuals because I'm bi and I want to know for sure. Google isn't satisfying.[/QUOTE] I imagine the people that use that word don't care. So, I guess so? I'd happily share it.

I love Ducky boards, and i love mechanical boards in general (except the razer blackwidow). It's to a point where i absolutely can not stand laptop keyboards. The ones you guys are praising above? Oh god i absolutely loath using them. I'm a heavy and very fast typer and those boards just can't do for me. [QUOTE=SeamanStains;43960485]I kind of hate mechanical keyboards for gaming. People sound so xX360noscopeMLGproXx when you can't hear them over their damn keyboards...[/QUOTE] Except if you're actually gaming, a mechanical keyboard is almost always actually better. Mostly due to two reasons 1. the point where the key will activate only through half way through actuation and you don't need to bottom the key out (push it down ALL the way) which is actually a lot more useful then you think. And 2: n-key rollover. I'm actually not sure if you can still find or if there ever was a domeswitch keyboard with n-key rollover. But with n-key roll over, every key is independently registered. Because of this you won't receive any ghosting at all. Ghosting being when multiple keys are pressed at once and the keys are 'lost' and never appear on screen. You know those threads in fast threads where you hold down both shift keys and type "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"? That's to test how many keys your board will miss. N-key roll over though is something most fps gamers won't really notice unless you're THAT fast of a typer and are doing some batshit insane stuff. In fact, i bet most typical gamers don't even really fully utilize or need their mech boards and only bought them because "they're cool" Also, there's something called push to talk, it's pretty fantastic, any real voip will have it, and it eliminates that problem completely. Or you could actually have them properly set up their microphone so voice activation doesn't pick it up. There are also different switch types like Brown which only click and don't clack like blues and are much quieter. I have a blue because i fully enjoy typing and love the feedback, both tactile and sound. Oh man do i love listening to my board when im typing something out. Also since it's something to do. You read above, hold both shift keys in and type "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG [editline]18th February 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Roll_Program;43963767]I didn't mean exactly the macbook keyboard, it was just a stock photo of the style of keyboard I was referring to.[/QUOTE] Mentioned above, those boards are scissor switch boards.

[QUOTE=MasterFen006;43964375]It's an indication of keyboard quality, basically how all the keys are wired up together.[/QUOTE] How does that change anything? I can't think of any situation where you'd need to press both shift keys and a letter.

So far so good, never had a keyboard that fucked me up, be it the cheap 5$ walmart one to the 100$ logitech or my laptops integrated one. I don't really think much people will get fucked up by their keyboards often. I doubt you do anything super technical that requires the use of a billions touch at the same time either.

It's really just that you're testing your key rollover by holding in multiple buttons at once. If you can barely type the sentence holding down shift, you have a bad/really cheap board that was wired to be as cheap as possible and if you press 3 keys at once, one of them won't register. Some boards you may need to hold in 4-5 keys. Most ps/2 boards you'd barely be able to type the sentence. If you have a fairly large margin of error, like if you had to hold 4-5 keys for ghosting to occur then you're fine really, unless you play an RTS game, then you're fucked. But like i said in my main post, if you're an fps player you really won't fully utilize NKRO

[QUOTE=Viva;43965628]Every 'chiclet style' board is a scissor switch board.

Just saying scissor switch is too vague to describe the type of keyboard I like.
