Damn, seeing this post reminds just how long I have been running this thread.
Is there a mechanical keyboard which is like the Steelseries G6V2 and it's media keys (Or separate media keys, doesnt really matter) which is also backlit?
I used to have a G6V2 but it broke, it was a great keyboard but i like to keep it dark in my room and sometimes it was hard to find certain buttons I rarely use and haven't memorized. Therefore I would like the backlight.
Help will be highly appreciated.

If you want to keep the simplistic look you have the option of the [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823816002]Corsair K90[/url] or the [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823129008]Quick Fire Pro[/url].
Bahaha
I have an old HP keyboard (KB-9970) And the spacebar is loud as fuck

Might not be mechanical, but I still love this thing.
Hey guys, I'm in a need of a new keyboard and I was thinking about trying out a mechanical one. I've never had a mechanical keyboard before, [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823109167]this is my current keyboard[/url]. I play a lot of Dota 2. My price range is around $100 and under.

What are you looking for in a keyboard? Any specific features?
[QUOTE=Nsybouts;37980116]What are you looking for in a keyboard? Any specific features?[/QUOTE]
Not really. Maybe some backlights, but that's about it. My current keyboard had neat features like macros and a detatchable numpad, but I never really took advantage of them.
Ducky Shine might suit you then.
it pains me to use a regular keyboard at college now fuck sake facepunch
After typing on a model M for months I was in college and I attempted to use an apple ~~minimalistic~~ keyboard
It was horrendous and my fingertips hurt from the fact the keys depress about a milimeter so you end up stabbing at the cheap insides before you even know it
Don't get me started on the mighty mouse and it's asshat scroll nub thingy :v:
I feel your pain... I CANNOT use a mechanical keyboard now without my fingers aching in pain. And its funny cause I only used my mechanical keyboard for like, 4 days and I was already adapted to it. I can still type faster on my comfort curve 2000 though since I had been used to that shape for almost 4 years.
What would you recommend to someone looking for a mechanical keyboard that has a matte black (or other colours) finish and preferably without the numpad? I am looking for something with both sound and tactile feel so I guess Cherry Blues?
a Leopold keyboard or a quickfire rapid.

Blues if you like clickyness browns of you don't.
If you want something that will last you until the next ice age then a tenkeyless Filco would be good. If you're on more of a budget then a Leopold.

I suppose I could ask here. I made a thread in fast threads, but someone pointed me here.
[quote]Well, Facepunch, I need your help. I did something stupid to my keyboard.
I have a Razer Blackwidow Keyboard, the standard, not tournament if that matters, and last night an incident where I spilled my drink on it. I dried it out and let it sit overnight, and it technically still works. The keys all work when they're pressed and all that, however, a few of the keys got sticky because of the arnold palmer. Specifically my backspace, /, and Function keys got it the worst.
Is there any way I can clean these out? Its really annoying to tap my backspace key and have it erase half of what I wrote. Problem is its mechanical, so I don't think getting the thing open and cleaning it out is a possibility.
Hopefully my stupidity didn't fuck this keyboard over for good. [/quote]
From what I know of mechanical keyboard, I'm feeling pretty screwed, but I figured I'd ask anyways.
Any really cheap mechanical keyboards?
I only have about $10 for now :v:
[QUOTE=DustySheep;37991894]Any really cheap mechanical keyboards?

I would go to a second-hand shop and or recycling center and search if I were you. 9/10 of all times you won't find a good mechanical one, but it's worth a try. You might find one of those really old ones that still work
So I finally decided to buy a mechanical keyboard.
Either the Corsair k60 or das keyboard. What is the big difference of these too and which one should I buy?
And also are wasd keycaps compatible to one of those keyboards?

Wasd caps are taller than most so they could stick up, though I don't know about the height of caps that Das or Corsair use (probably Filco height ones, though).
So who actually makes THE best brown switched keyboard?

Filco. Filcos are the best mechanicals (since the only thing that separates boards using the same switches is build quality and Filco are regarded to have the best).
I guess I'll be picking up a filco in 3 - 6 months.

Now I haven't used dampeners before but I noticed they also have a 0.4mm "firm" o-ring (50A-R) which
supposedly keeps the hard feedback from bottoming out.
I would really like to use the 0.4mm as spacers as I want to have a tactile bottom-out feel but without the effort of depressing the key all of the way (I have mx Blacks). Has anyone used the 50A-R? How does the bottom-out action compare to normal bottom-out's on an MX Black?
I want the hard-hitting plastic-on-plastic feel without depressing all the way.
