What should I get next - an SSD or a mechanical keyboard?

[growlitheharpo]

My rig is at a point now where I'm comfortable with pretty much everything except the keyboard and the storage. My only storage is a 2 TB hard drive, and my keyboard is a membrane, rubber dome thing by Rosewill. Within the next few months I'm definitely going to be getting an SSD for the OS and possibly a couple Steam games, and I'm going to get a mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Browns because I tried those out the other day and fell in love.

 

My question: which one should I get first, and which one should wait a month or two?

SSD first, the speed increase it brings is pretty awesome.

Definitely get a mechanical keyboard, an SSD is nice to have but I could NEVER get rid of my keyboard

I would say keyboard. Chances are your OS is already on the HDD and the SSD probably wont give you that much of a noticable difference in games except for some loading times.

ssd. Mechanical keyboards are not really needed but are nice to have.

SSD first as it is faster and more efficient to a HDD. Where as a mechanical keyboard, even if it is nicer to use, won't be much of a difference to a membrane one

SSD for PC performance, load times in games. Makes the pc very snappy.

If you don't have one, an SSD, no question about it.

Depends on how much typing you do on it. If you type a lot for a living - emails, notes, word, spreadsheets, programming, ect - I would say the keyboard get's the benefit, especially since you used one and already like it. A lot of people need time to adjust to a mechanical KB. My opinion might be in the minority but if you used a spinning HDD and don't think it's slow then you can wait. At least you'll get the benefit of getting it cheaper/more storage the longer you wait to buy an SSD.

SSD.

 

While it would be hard, I would give up my mech keyboard before my SSD.

There are rubber dome keyboards that feel alright but there are no mechanical HDDs that compare to an SSD.

keyboards are lame. i use a logitech one that is 30 bucks and it's great. get a 120gb ssd for your os and you'll be so much happier with faster boot times.
