Hey I was wondering what your favourite mechanical keyboards are and what everyone's running (even non-mechanical)?
Also could anyone give me suggestions? (cherry mx brown, includes number pad but no macro keys, LED backlighting to match my orange setup (or none at all)

I love the Das 4 Professional line (brown switches seem to be out of stock everywhere) and the Feenix Autore (the visibility on the keys bugs me though)

i want a this keyboard but i will probably get distracted by the leds and just start playing with the leds i saw on a Linus video you can set it so the keys have a ripple effect 

My speakers dont even fit on or under my desk...PA's FTW

I do rather love the design of the K70 RGB, also WASD's code keyboards.

 

I'm currently running a Ducky Shine Zero wish blue LED back lighting, so there's that. I also have a random Apple wired keyboard right next to me.

I had a blackwidow and LOVED the way it felt typing compared to any other keyboard I've found.  the switches made a distinct click when pressed.  Not ideal if you want quiet, but it was great for gaming to know your key was registered
