Corsair K70 vs Ducky Shine 3

[athesean1]

So i am making a new build soon and i need peripherals, i am set on my mouse but i cant decide between the ducky shine 3 tkl or the corsair k70 i want cherry red keyswitchs btw

If it was my choice.  I'd go with ducky anyday.  I think Corsair keyboard might be designed for gaming, but ducky keyboard are high quality and I've never used one personally but know people that do and they say they are the best keyboards you can buy.   They come in all different switches.

Go with what's more comfortable to use

Well, personally I'm not a fan of most of the "mainstream" keyswitches that the Ducky and K70 have anyways.

 

Blues - Too loud/Sounds like you stepped on a hamster every time you actuate a key.

Browns - Trying to hard to be like blues, but end up just feeling awkward. Not smooth enough imo

Reds - Remind me more of typing on my old Macbook Pro, and the lack of tactile feedback makes it hard to know when the key has been actuated. I guess some people will like reds, but they just aren't for me. 

Blacks - Same thing as reds, just don't like the lack of non-tactility. 

Clears - Jackpot. Tactile feedback that isn't too loud, but is still audible. Not as heavy as greens, (personally if greens weren't as stiff, I'd use those, although I do wish I could try those out...)

 

The problem with clears is that there is only one keyboard (that I know of) that's 104 key and that is readily in stock, and that's the CODE keyboard from WASDKeyboards. It's a nice keyboard I guess, (I mean, I'm going to be buying one here in a few days...) but it just doesn't have the same appeal that a K70 RGB does. 

 

Whatever, I'll probably just spend a few hundred dollars on aluminum keycaps anyways.
