Mechanical keyboards are hard to type? O-Rings and Cherry MX Browns make them fairly quite as well. If you change your mind Razer is having a 50 percent off sale

Err, going from rubber domes to mechanical reds was like going to pressing on butter for me. If you go with browns or reds you should find them much smoother for typing and much more responsive for gaming + your backlighting.

 

But if you just want a regular keyboard then that one seems fine. They're all just regular rubber domes that advertise lights and macros. There's no real differences between them other than branding/marketing, so pick one from a reliable company and enjoy. Even my wireless keyboard was pretty competent for gaming tasks (battery lasted for up to a year!) and comfortable so don't get caught up in the flash/hype.

the problem is from whare i am i can't seem to find the sales, also from the razer store its all QWERTY keyboards and i realy need AZERTY..

also i never used mechanical keys, as far as i heard/read thay are great for gaming but less for typing and other kind of stuff,

 

my pc will be used for gaming, photo/video editing and allot of typing...

this means AZERTY is a must, also i am on a budged.

It cost me $75 during a sale for mine, which converts to about 63 euros. Does it need to be AZERTY? That makes it even harder, especially when you're settling for a Steelseries QWERTY. :P

 

Even off sale, this one http://www.ncix.com/detail/steelseries-6gv2-ps-2-usb-red-53-74370-1360.htm is like 63 euros too converted from CAD. But it's on backorder right now and I don't know about your location/shipping. They do ship internationally if you find a good deal.

 

Not that your first post keyboard pick is bad, but if you wanted a mechanical then you should try for one. $70-$90 USD is about the range of a red/brown during a sale with LED back-lighting.

Ah. Well, brown and blues are particularly loud/clicky, and red/black are loud. So if you need quiet then mechanical is NOT the way to go. :P  This is what they sound like for reference.

Because its obvious what u reply to.

Do u quote facebook statuses when u reply to them? U reply to a person and if u dont people know u talk about the status.

Simple. Imagine if every single person quoted such long posts. Would be a mess :)

Hope u get my point.
