HyperX clouds, quality?

[uselessguy69]

I ordered them yesterday. What are your thoughts about this headset? I was thinkng that i'd buy a sound card (asus xonar dgx). And yes, what keyboard should i get? my budget is $150

[Octavialicious]

Good gaming headset. The only one I would recommend and no, don't buy a soundcard. They are a waste of money unless your motherboard is ANCIENT. 


Do you want a numpad? LEDs? Do you have a switch preference?

No problem! Your english is pretty good

I'd personally recommend the K70 from Corsair  http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Mechanical-Keyboard-Backlit-CH-9000076-NA/dp/B00M5DUJQ0/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1419684391&sr=8-4&keywords=rgb+k70

but i looked at the mx switches, i'd prefer blue and k70 doesn't have anything else than red switcheS

[uselessguy69]

oh lol sorry, it has other switches but they don't sell those in finland

[Chucksta]

Yes, just keep in mind that blues can be loud and maybe look at other websites like http://www.newegg.com/ for the K70. I have the K70 with red LEDs with browns switches and it is great!

it is only $119 in amazon tho and free shipping! i think i will order that

[Chucksta]

There are blues here http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B00CD1FC6G/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1419685816&sr=1-1&keywords=corsair+k70 but I don't know if you are willing to wait until January 4. (The price should raise back to $129.99 by then when they are in stock)

oh damn, thanks so much for telling that to me, i didn't notice that they are out of stock, what is your opinion of qpad mk-85? i might buy it

[Butterfish]

They are rebranded qpad qh90's so yes

[uselessguy69]

tru stori get rekt

[IIIPHENOMIII]

Buddy of me has the Qpad MK-80 and it looks very nice, quality was also top.. Can't go wrong with Qpad tbh.

 

I think the only difference between the MK-80 & 85 is that the 80 can't have macro keys or something like that (pretty useless anyway imo). It's 20 bucks cheaper and has a blue back lighting instead of a red one.

Since you're from Finland I suppose you use the Nordic keyboard layout and they're both in stock with blue switches

[Whorax]

i have never owned mechanical switches so no preference

I STRONGLY recommend you to go to a store near you that would have Cherry MX boards on display for you to try, or if you can't find those I'd fork out a small amount of money for a Cherry MX demo board like this: http://www.amazon.com/Max-Keyboard-Keycap-Cherry-Sampler/dp/B00N6DXTW4 .

The difference in the different Cherry MX switches is extreme in my opinion, and different switches work for different people so nobody can accurately tell you which one is the best.

 

I also should direct you to this forum topic created by STRMfrmXMN. It's really helpful in deciding the switch you want if you don't have access to trying out the switches. It's got a quiz to take to decide what may be right for you, and there's also really good explanations on just about all of the switches.

Edit: Oh, shoot. Didn't realize you said you preferred blues a bit further into the topic, my bad.

Corsair H1500 and H2100 wrecks the hyperX Cloud.

Everyone is getting the HyperX cloud because Linus said so...

HyperX Cloud was determined to be good way before Linus said anything about them. The Cloud is one of those very rare headsets that are worth the money. Usually getting audiophile headphones and an external microphone is the better deal, in both quality and price department though.

but the k70 from jimm's is kinda expensive but i'll consider

[SeriouslyMikey]

$150 for a keyboard? If you're not in need of a numb pad, a Filco Majestouch TKL is a fantastic keyboard. 

Though, if you're in need of a numb pad, then a Ducky Shine 3 with whatever switches you like is a great alternative. 

However, right now the full size Filco keyboards are on sale on Amazon for about $150.

Then the Qpad offerings are fine (be wary, they sell both Cherry and Kailh clone boards). CM Storm is another great option for a bit cheaper price tag.

yeah well the qpad is a strong choice because of the color scheme red and black

i dislike the sound quality on most gaming headphones so if u want the best experience buy a good pair of headphones (sennheiser momentums, bose qc 25, audiotechnica, beardynamic, etc.) and i would invest in an aftermarket mic such as modmic or maybe go with a blue snowball.
