Wait? That's a thing? I've been missing videos by ignoring this subforum and watching my subscription feed?

Why? 

 

Typos on a company website makes me not want to buy from them.

We can't all be native English speakers.

 

I really wish Kailh the would come up with a better naming scheme. I don't want to say that they are trying to be deceptive, but blue switches? Couldn't have come up with anything better?

Why? 

 

because they help our economy... those that give us work instead of running to asia to hire people for no money and open sweat shops while we lose our jobs, those that stay do so knowing fully well that they wont earn as much money.

Well yeah, but you would think that a large company would do something to at least make the spelling on their site right.

At least they are forthcoming with there switches and even go as far a to give them a different product name. As for me when i eventually do get a mechanical keyboard ill probably stick to cherry mx switches, won't buy other switches like the kailh ones till i can see user reviews about the quality and longevity of the switches.

Whose? I mean, I kind of understand what you're saying, but a global economy is a net gain for everybody.

Kinda.. I mean, Thermaltake isn't really a large company in the grand scheme of things, and I'd rather a company spend money on R&D as opposed to spelling. It may make perfect sense to them when they are writing it because they aren't fluent with English vernacular.

The sound is mess up a bit in the video, suddenly became louder. And actually, they have increased the price of the BW ultimate 2014 in Asia. but around 10 bucks despite the money value of each country, 10 malaysian dollars, 10 Sing dollars, etc. And off-course, retailers would take the chance said it is some special switches from Razer and they increased the price as well, damn you Razer. Uses cheaper switches but increased the price. 

Edit: My video paused at this moment, sorry, have to make this a meme :P

At least they are passing the savings onto the customer not just slapping Razer on the start of it to justify keeping the price the same.

I've been looking for a cheap (as possible) mechanical keyboard for work because I'm currently using one that comes with those old Dells.

I do graphic design work and communicate with my teammates all day through Skype/emails, so something more typing-friendly sounds good.

Currently, at home, I'm using a Filco Majestouch 2; I think that's fine for gaming (and typing), but would blue switches make my typing experience at work that much better?

Would the difference of using one switch at work and another at home throw off your comfort?

What's the next best keyboard to get besides the Poseidon Z if I wanted a non-backlit version?

PLEASE HELP!

A 100$ for that? I'd much rather go with the 30$ one I unboxed a long time back which actually uses genuine Cherry switches :P I don't mean to hate on Tt, but I don't think that a 'name' is worth adding another 70$ to the price for...

Actually I have to say two things about the video (besides I liked it):

1. I noticed a small volume jump at about 2:30

2. (it's more a question) I just asked myself if you are filtering or compressing your audio. -> I am starting to get into filtering and this kind of stuff because I'm stuying "Media Technology" (yeah, I don't know the english name rith now) and it's quite interesting what you can do with it to enhance quality (if you do it right). ;)

Hmm honestly I'm the wrong one to check with about that. Try tweeting @taranvh. He does most of the review editing these days.
