[QUOTE=Banned?;39483597]Browns have the same actuation point as Reds but they're tactile. Blacks are heavier.[/QUOTE]
I know, all cherry switches have the same actuation point (2mm). It's just that the browns tactility makes it easier to double tap them. The reason you can double tap blues is because the actual slider is floating so it doesn't reset quick enough.
cowabanga don't view it as a matter of performance but comfort
you're not gonna do worse because you chose blues and not reds, the differences aren't that monumental
no I just want something that I can mash the shit out of that is also capable to being good to play games on

All cherry switches are in theory equally durable. It's quite unlikely that you will end up damaging something like a Filco unless you hit it with a hammer or something.
yay 33% off!

I was about to post this. :v:
Oh I'm having second thoughts now! It's either a Trigger with brown switches or the X8. And I don't know if I want a white or purple backlight, originally I was looking at blue or green on their website but it isn't offered on massdrop :/ any help?
[editline]5th February 2013[/editline]
Also, does anyone know if it still comes with the wrist rest when you buy it from massdrop?

White backlight probably rapes your eyes less at 3am.
No idea about the wrist rest. I need to buy one for myself...I keep my keyboard really close to the edge of my desk and it making typing a literal pain after a while.

If you are going to buy one don't bother spending too much on one. I personally can't tell the difference between a cheap one and a rather expensive one.

I bought one a while ago but it would never stay in one place and it felt like shit. I wouldn't mind buying one of those on EliteKeyboards but they're fucking expensive. I'd really like one that has something that goes under the keyboard too so everything moves around together instead of "STAY THE FUCK STILL WHILE I'M TYPING GOD DAMN".

I just wanna be comfy at my desk. :v:

decided I'll go for the white, no clue how to customize it though. I want it to be unique but I like blue, so I was thinking blue, green, or purple for keys used when gaming (esc, wasd, arrows, space). why is this so hard god dammit I never knew I was so indecisive until now.
all the customization options and colors

In my opinion having two different back-light colors is ricey as all hell.

I don't think it's any more rice-y than having different colored key caps for WASD. I think it's a cool alternative when you have backlighting.
[editline]5th February 2013[/editline]
I'd get Red WASD, Esc, and arrow keys. :v:

I guess I'm being somewhat of a hypocrite because I personally have a couple custom Keycaps on my Model M.
I don't want to go all out with it but I don't want a flat color, just a nice middle ground. I feel like blue would blend well with the white.
[editline]6th February 2013[/editline]
fuck it I think I'm just going to make all of the custom options blue so I don't kill myself over this

I've been looking for some for ages, where did you get them?
I'm in the UK so that's probably why I can't find any
On Scan it says the Corsair K90 is built for MMO and RTS, and the K60 is built for FPS, surely it doesn't matter?

[editline]6th February 2013[/editline]
if it so happened to escape you the k90 has tons of macro keys, the k60 has rubberized wasd
[QUOTE=Lua Laputa;39494852]On Scan it says the Corsair K90 is built for MMO and RTS, and the K60 is built for FPS, surely it doesn't matter?[/QUOTE]
It doesn't, you just have a shitton of macro keys or you don't.
I knew there weren't any differences but macro keys, I just had a small brain fart and wondered why they said they're suited to different types of games, then I noticed the K60 didn't have macro keys :v:
Getting the K90 though
[QUOTE=Im Crimson;39495461]And backlighting on the K90, not the K60.[/QUOTE]
I don't care much for that, though it looks kinda cooler
And backlighting on the K90, not the K60.
ghehge gonna be poor

dunno when it'll get here, hopefully i get emailed a tracking number
shitty phone pics inc when it arrives!
on an entirely unrelated note, anyone in the market for a QuickFire Pro with red switches in like new condition?
Has anyone from the UK bought keycaps from wasd? It's been way over 3 weeks and they're still not here.
Should I wait longer? or?

Do you not have a tracking number?
I'd just email them.
My first mechanical keyboard, the Qpad MK-50 with blue switches, just came in the mail and it feels fuckin' mint, I love it.

I have a MK50 with blues also, love it aside from the weird font on the Q.

Unfortunately, I don't have a tracking number because of the shipping I bought. In hindsight, I probably should have spent that extra money.
I did e-mail them recently after posting this and they replied today saying it may take "6 - 8 weeks". Which is well, annoying.
Might be selling my K90, only had for a few months..
Throw the money to the new K95.
