Yeah... I saw that already. I'd rather not pay $$ for that.

I didn't see one. I have two Best Buy's by me. I will have to check both of them soon.

Ducky or K70.. Hmm I like media buttons on the K70.

Ducky makes some of the best keyboards out there, as for the K70, they're both pretty good, if you like the media keys, then get the K70

Well as much as I game I prefer Blacks. My daily driver is a Blue kb though if that makes a difference. I can only borrow a friend's KB for so long. ):

I want to try blues and reds, I really like my browns for the softness they have to them, but still a very nice typing experience IMO. I wanted to get reds, but I figured since it was going to be in my front room for awhile like 2 feet from the couch, my parents would complain, so I got browns instead. I may buy that cherry mx sampler thing coolermaster was talking about awhile back, and test them all and buy a ducky or something.

Some time ago I had the Razer Black Widow Tournament Edition with Cherry MX blue switches, but the keys were so loud that after a couple of weeks I sold it and got the STRIKE 5, which although is a membrane keyboard is pretty good one. However when that broke I decided to try once again mechanical switches and after testing the Logitech G710+, I fell in love with the Cherry MX browns. That's what I'm using right now and I don't feel like going back to a mechanical (Edit: I meant membrane) keyboard anytime soon.  :)

The G710+ is a mechanical keyboard, did you mean membrane?

Happens to me a lot, I think too fast and my fingers can't keep up, then I end up missing words, don't know if I have ADD or not

I roll blacks, super smooth. But I would love to get my hands on some of that green action. It sounds weird but havign typed on blacks I now find them almost too light, I need to move on up.

Greens are more accurate than blues but too heavy for my liking

Only really have used blues. I've tried others in store, but I never really used them for gaming or typing so I can't really speak for the other ones. The blues feel amazing, but they can get loud at night when people are sleeping, but I love the noise. I have O-rings on the way in the mail, they'll probably make them sound a lot better because they wont be bottoming out, not sure how they'll feel yet

Blues sound good for the person using them, if you're not typing on them, the sound will annoy you
