I still want logitech to make a mechanical G-series keyboard and I don't want it to end up like the blackwidow, either :(
Logitech needs to jump on mechanical switches and drop the damn LCD screen.
We had them in school, they're fucking awful keyboards :v: but that's my opinion, you can get them on amazon by just searching "dell keyboard" but you need to trawl through some pages of other dell keyboards

[QUOTE=Lefter;37590186]Whats wrong with the blackwidow? I'm getting one today?[/QUOTE] Very poor build quality in general, with mechanical switches thrown in for the heck of it.
[QUOTE=Lefter;37590186]Whats wrong with the blackwidow? I'm getting one today?[/QUOTE] They have 3KRO.
I don't understand these terms. :( The thing is, right now for me the only choice for a mechanic keyboard is a razer blackwidow, because it also does have a turkish characters, and i cannot order anything online. Should i buy it? Whats the pros and cons?
3kro = you can only press 3 keys at once. nkro = unlimited
nkro through usb = 6kro
Which is why you must use PS/2. (You get NKRO even if you use a USB-PS/2 adaptor).
I wish every keyboard came with one
[QUOTE=HolyCrapAWalrus;37592724]I wish every keyboard came with one[/QUOTE] I got one with my Filco.

How are AT101W's for mechanical keyboards? I could get one at the local electronics dump :s
Anyone have an alternative to this that is not ricey as fuck: [url]http://www.amazon.com/Azio-Levetron-Mechanical-Keyboard-KB577U/dp/B008CXTW5G/ref=sr_1_43?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1347153624&sr=1-43&keywords=mechanical+keyboard[/url] The features and shit look cool but I couldn't live with myself if I bought it.

A DK9008S might be perfect for you, though :smile:

Someone really needs to redo the OP with a list of requirements (backlighting, macros, ect.) and a recommended board for each.

[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;37601551]I don't trust you with it you would write 'get a filco' for everything and there would be no explanation why[/QUOTE] I wouldn't. I only write that because people almost never specify anything else.

[QUOTE=Chubbs;37600846]A Filco. Someone really needs to redo the OP with a list of requirements (backlighting, macros, ect.) and a recommended board for each.[/QUOTE] As of late I have overhauled the OP quite a bit, you might not remember the old threads. Plus it is still a work in progress. I would also like to recommend a Filco to everyone but they are not in most peoples budget and I have always agreed with you in the the fact that they are probably the best Mechanical Keyboard you can get.

I just got my first mechanical keyboard today. I got the Razer Black Widow (Not ultimate and not Stealth) and I don't care what people have against Razer...I love it. It is beautiful to type with and I don't regret buying it. Now, Since I am living in Ireland, I would normally be using the UK layout for keyboards, but I got a US version of the keyboard, but I am not too worried about it. I still like it none-the-less.

I am not complaining though. I am happy with this keyboard
