Solid, long-lasting gaming keyboard with Cherry MX Browns,

[Azortharion]

So after reading out and about for a pretty long time, I've decided to get rid of my rubber-dome Lycosa and get a new keyboard.

I type a -lot- and I play games that require me to smash keys (MMO's) a LOT, and the general consensus around here is that the Browns fit that specification well, but what keyboard should I get?!

Doesn't have to be backlit but it's a plus. $110 budget, might go a little higher.

I play MMO's a lot, and I type a LOT, and blues fit me better.

Anyway CoolerMaster makes great budget mechanical keyboards.

Corsair Vengeance K90 maybe?

Rubber domes.

That's what I've been considering, but K90's have Red and not Brown switches. I hear that Reds are very uncomfortable to type on.

Also they are not rubber dome keyboards like Toby said.

This looks very nice and the red backlight looks slick. I'll look into it when I am home in a few hours.

CM Quickfire Rapid Brown. I just got mine and it's brilliant. Very solid backplate. Braided cable is super tough.

While they may not be rubber dome keyboards, they contain plenty of them. Considering you mentioned MMOs, I'm assuming you'd get a fair amount of use from the macro keys - all of which are rubber domes. If you press escape to close a window? Rubber dome. If you alt+F4 out the game? Rubber dome. A lot of MMOs also use the function keys to select group members, so again, you'll be pressing rubber domes.

I use Reds and while they're not uncomfortable to type on they are indeed.. Unique, linear yet lightweight makes for a very unusual typing experience but it's nothing you can't get used to.

I have a Logitech G710, and I'm loving it. Like you asked, it has browns. It also has macro keys, a decent program for macros, dedicated media controls, it comes with rubber noise damperners, comes with an arm rest, and has backlighting. Great keyboard, I would suggest it to anyone.

I would suggest any of the following:

Ducky Shine II (my personal choice very solid almost no flex)

Filco Majestouch

Cooler Master CM Storm Trigger

Cooler Master CM Storm Quickfire Rapid/Pro

Das Keyboard Model S Professional

Logitch G710+

[mgsstar]

Logitech G710+ and CM Storm Trigger are my favourites in the cherry mx brown switches.

If you really don't want rubber domes go for a Black Widow (one of the only mechs I know of with full mech macros and function keys [not a rubber dome on the thing]). However those only come in Blues...

[Jamdude]

Logitech G710+ is your best bet. I have one and it's amazing, feels great to type on and playing games is a breeze. You can see in some of Linus' videos he also uses a G710+.

Decided to get a Storm Trigger, red LED's, brown switches.

Thanks very much for all the feedback, you all guided me on different searches for the ultimate keyboard.

I initially wanted the Ducky Shine II but I really wanted some kinda wrist-rest (alá Razer Lycosa which I have now), and the Storm Trigger delivered just that and has super favorable reviews, too. :)
