New Mechanical Keyboard!

i was looking for a mechanical keyboard. i cant really decide wether to go with blues or browns so could you guys reccommend some keyboards with blue and brown switches? (preferably "mainstream" brands and no more than €140)  :D


 please use either amazon.it or drako.it

Ducky Shine 3 is a good choice if you can find it for a good price. I personally prefer browns because I don't like the clicking of blues.

For that money, you can probably get a Ducky Shine 3. As for the switch type, try and test some if you can, Blues and Browns as those are the two you're stuck between. They all feel different and getting one that isn't to your taste is never fun. 

The browns are far softer than the Blues and don't have the loud click, however it means they don't have as solid tactile feedback. Not to say that they don't have the tactile feedback because they do. It's just not as noticeable as the Blues. And Blues are loud, clicky and very tactile. 

I love Blues but having just got a keyboard with Browns, I cant really say if I like them right now. But first impressions, I actually prefer them, especially for games. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

€330 for a keyboard? no thanks. how is the Quick Fire Rapid-i or the Corsair RGB K70?

Corsair's K70 is nice, can't say for the Quick Fire Rapid. but CM's keyboards tend to be good.

Wait the Ducky is €330?! That's ridiculous!

The RGB one is pretty much the exact same, but just with RGB lighting, it's very good.

mio cugino ha quella tastiera, gli piace molto ma ho deciso che preferisco Cherry Blue perche... bho non saprei spiegare ma mi piace la sensazione tattile :P

Peccato che su drako.it le uniche tastiere che hanno cherry blue sono o non retroilluminate o costose (Corsair RGB)

Drako è ben fornito, allo stesso tempo di certo non è famoso per i suoi prezzi, purtroppo...

When u finally found your kb > dem prices doe, our (it) taxes... such high, much sad.

I suggest you take this quiz I made (self promotion, I know) to see if you really want Blues over Browns. https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/STRMfrmXMN/1

 

Also, don't go into the quiz with the intention of getting a specific result as that may sway your results. Some people have done that. The problem with that is that many people don't know the difference between the switches and have a different idea of how hard they hit the keyboard than Cherry does.

 

Hope this helps!

Got blue. If I want quieter operation, then brown right?

QF Ultimate, that's what I was thinking, 100€ max

Use a tester. No matter what people say you won't know how it feels until your try em with your hands.

Personally If I was spending that much I'd get something like a filco or get something custom from wasdkeyboards.. 

 

I'd also suggest you read through this http://www.keyboardco.com/blog/index.php/2012/12/an-introduction-to-cherry-mx-mechanical-switches/

 

You may also want to get a sampler of the switches.
