Currently I'm running a pretty strict Logitech setup - G910, G600, G633, and then throw in a C920 webcam and a Samson C01U condenser mic to round it all out.

Currently running a GTX 960, and so far I've seen the Polaris GPUs are a pretty solid contender or upgrade compared to it. Plus, it'd be nice to show Nvidia that they do have proper competition so perhaps they try a little harder with reasonable pricing...

Honestly, I've wanted a solid projector for a while just for the fun of it when I've got people over, but I don 't have a ton of space right now. Seems like this is a fantastic solution

With the prices of SSDs still going down, and their perceivable speed difference in real-world use being so high, there's really almost no excuse for using a mechanical HDD nowadays (outside of mass data storage, and even then, I recall someone making a massive storage server with SSDs... ;P). I need one for my web/home server that I'm wanting to build, and this one looks pretty nice

This would be awesome to have simply because my girlfriend needs a better computer than her old laptop to do what she loves - gaming. The size is a huge benefit because she lives pretty far away at the moment, and it will be easier for her to move when she does if she has a smaller computer than a traditional desktop. Plus, this thing is just adorable. :3

You need to make that video unlisted, not private. (Unless you only want specific people to see it instead of people with the link)

This came out much better than I thought it would, but I definitely need an actual camera...

I would have filmed it had I thought of that, but I was already out and about a couple minutes after I made that last post. Sorry :c However, I DID get to try one out at my local Best Buy (hate the store generally, but they had it on display so I guess that's cool). I think I see why people say "mushy" key presses, but I don't think that's the best word for it. The total travel (bottoming out the key) distance is a bit shorter than a typical mechanical keyboard, but I think that's why some people have a problem. It's only a slight difference, but if you're not super adaptive, it'll feel really weird for a bit until you get used to it. The keys are very quiet, even when bottomed out, and don't have any real audible click upon actuation (which I personally love), but that's going to depend on the person. The keys definitely don't feel mushy like a membrane keyboard can, but they also don't feel like a mechanical keyboard often does. As Linus said in his review, they're somewhere in the middle. Some people will love that, and some people will hate it. As for the keycaps, I had no issues with them. They do a good job (in my opinion) of keeping your fingers centered on the keys, and over time that might make you a more accurate typist in general. However, I already type as a huge part of my job, so the fact that I already center my fingers pretty dang well may have made my experience different than some people. I didn't really have any issues with the "some keycaps are different" thing, either, and I also didn't have any issues with accuracy, or fingers getting caught, or anything else. And as for visuals, I was pretty impressed with how the keyboard looked in person. The general look of the keyboard was quite nice to me, the backlighting looked even and sufficient, even in the bright store lights. The construction wasn't perfect, but I also didn't have any specific issues with it. It felt nice to the touch, it looked nice to the eyes, and had a good amount of weight to it so as to not feel cheaply made or anything. In the end, I'm pretty confident that the only real points of contention here are going to be these: 1. The look. You either like it or your don't. Not much to say here. 2. The keycaps. Again, you either like them or you don't. I personally didn't feel they inhibited my typing in the slightest, but people who type different than I do may have a different experience. 3. The keypresses. It's hard to quantify this one, but I think at the end of the day, you just have to try it to know if you really like it. Having come from a more "standard" mechanical keyboard, I quite liked it personally, but not everyone will feel that way. If you're coming from a membrane keyboard, I feel this is probably just a straight upgrade compared to most membrane keyboards, but again, it come down to how much you like it yourself. Edit: I'm actually about to go buy it What would you like to see in a video? I'll see what I can do :3

Unfortunately I don't know of another similar keyboard. I'm sure there is one, though, so take a look around and you might get lucky. Honestly, I think your best bet in any case is going to be to see if you can try it yourself before you buy. I haven't had a chance to try a G910, but I'm going by a local large mall later and they might have one. I'll report my findings after that if they do.

Just as a heads up, if your reason for picking the Naga is the black/green, note that the G600 has RGB lighting (so you can just set it to green LEDs). Because the Naga is a bit more than the G600 (where I'm seeing it anyway), it limits your keyboard choices a bit more if you intend to stay under $150. You could get a Razer Blackwidow for about the right price, but it's not actually backlit (just green LED logo) but is otherwise alright. For just a bit more you can pick up a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth. Note, though, that these have a different switch type than Red/Brown. I don't know much about the Razer switches, so you should do a bit of reading on them and see if they're to your taste. I'd imagine they are roughly similar to some of the cherry switches but I don't know which.

Each to their own. I like it, though it's not my favorite. Personally, I'm looking to pick up a Logitech G910 Orion Spark some day soon... everyone has different taste.

Well going along with Logitech (which I admit I do like), the Logitech G710+ is a rather popular keyboard that does sport a few macro keys. I've used one (but don't own one) and I did like it. As was mentioned above, the Corsair K70 is another solid mechanical keyboard, and though I've never used it myself and can't speak for it personally, it is one of the most popular mechanical keyboards available. Lastly, I personally use a Rosewill Apollo which is a little cheaper than the other options and in my experience has been a pretty good keyboard. There are probably better options, but I got it super cheap at the time ($60) so it's hard to complain

Honestly, you'll be hard pressed to get anything more than a proper mechanical keyboard for $100. Cheapest reputable ones I've seen are like $80+... are you looking for a standard keyboard, 10-keyless, or anything else in particular here? If mouse is your priority and you're mostly an MMO/RPG gamer, take a look at the Logitech G600 - the 12 side buttons seems a bit ridiculous and over-the-top at first, but they're amazing to have if you play MMOs. The mouse is also just fine for pretty much any other kind of game, so you'll do fine in FPS games as well (you might even find uses for the buttons there too, and the G-shift can be used for DPI shift for sniping, etc). Edit: As Flitter mentioned, the Naga is also a good choice for mouse. Personally, I prefer the G600, but each to their own I suppose.

If I win, I'm going to start a small nation.
