[QUOTE=Shadaez;39093906]the dumbest thing is that you can set it up so keys light up when you press them, why would that ever be useful? when you press a button your finger is blocking it[/QUOTE]
I imagine the one where the keys splash out with light when you press them would provide some nice eye candy
but I touch type so It would be wasted on me :v:
it would be fun to play with I guess, and if you can program the lights it would be interesting but you could have more fun with a LCD screen and an arduino or something.
Would be pretty cool if there was an API to control the lights - could take my old g15vis program to the next level :v

Oh boy g15 + winamp + custom visualizer was the shit

sadly I spilled coke in my g15 and it forced me to buy a model M for £40 from Ebay
best accident forced decision ever
I got a Roccat Isku myself. I love the key layout, but the keyboard itself gets boring after a week or two. It's pretty good to write with though :)

I was trying to compere the new mechanical keyboard from ROCCAT with there last model :S
Am I the only one that does not like big wrist wrest for keyboards?
[QUOTE=mechanarchy;34674365]Oh man, my new keyboard just arrived. Completely worth the price I paid for it, using it is an amazing tactile and [B]audible[/B] experience and it arrived within 22 hours of ordering it. Outstanding.

I type on a model M waay into the night and nobody says they hear me, but I don't know how clue keys compared to buckling springs, but this keyboard is LOUD
So, I just got my Filco Majestouch 2 w/ MX Browns today. HOLY-FUCKING-SHIT.

My parents sleep in the room just down the hall. Never heard any complaints from them. If there's a door between you and them, it's fine.
I've been so tempted to use the anciest mechanical keyboard I gave to my sister but I use all the media keys on the top of my keyboard, as well it's wireless and I sometimes take it to my armchair :(
I wanna get the Corsair Vengeance K90 and then maybe some nice decks :D
went ahead and bought the one with blues
What is the cheapest black keyboard with blue backlighting and cherry blues?
[editline]7th January 2013[/editline]
I found this on amazon, any good? [url]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cougar-Attack-Gaming-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B008POA3XM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1357521072&sr=8-2[/url]
Honestly, save your eyes and keep the lights on.
Shortsightedness is a curse.

I'm already short sighted v:v:v
I don't want them for looking at the keys that much, as it's usually bright enough, but I just want it to match the rest of my desk
It arrived.

So my brother's new keyboard arrived, and all I can say is: the gigabyte osmium needs to be recommended more. On top of what appears to be hardware-based macros, its build quality far exceeds that of the steelseries 7g (keys don't randomly fall off or wobble under your finger), the keycaps are the best finish I have ever felt (subtle rubbery effect) and the backlighting is the best I have ever seen. I'm normally totally indifferent to backlighting, but those individual LEDs are pretty impressive. Overall probably one of the best gaming-oriented/linear switch keyboards.
I got my keyboard.

Damn, typing on that would be annoying for me. I'd hit all the right buttons on American keyboard but coming up with the wrong characters, just like you would.

how does that even happen
Got a Cherry ML4100 for free. It owns.
[QUOTE=Shadaez;39148066]how does that even happen[/QUOTE]
My first guess was that I had misread the Amazon page but no, the model number on the Amazon page clearly denotes the American layout so I guess they just got mixed up somewhere.

My friend bought a CM keyboard from an Amazon seller but got a french layout rather than a UK one.
Got it sorted, but anyway still a pain.
