I was curious what kinds of keyboards you guys had, as generally the consensus is that mech keyboards are just the way to go- yet expensive. 

 

If you have a mech board what switches does it use?

If you don't have a mech board why/ what do you use?

 

 

E.G. 

 

I personally am using a gateway kb-2961 (chicony model) 

<--this one.

 

I have very little money and am unable to buy a mech keyboard and also picked this one up for 10 cents. It's a rubber dome keyboard, but check it out it still is rather satisfying and responsive. Tbh it's a rubber dome knock off of the model M I feel. 

 

Added poll, really interested in seeing what you guys use.

i had a dell quietkey from 1999 and it probably was the damn best keyboard i ever used for gaming, so responsive and solid....build quality was damn good too.

Cooler Master Quickfire Limited Edition with Cherry MX Greens :D

 

O.o greens that's unique...

 

If i bought a mech keyboard it would have to be blacks or clears I think.

I have a Corsair Vengeance K70 with red backlight and Cherry MX Brown switches I got for 100 USD

For your keyboard... I guess some people prefer 'old fashioned' :)

Beautiful keyboard. Matches my overall red/black theme inside my case. Might consider this as a replacement for mine in the near future.

Ducky Shine 3. I had a board with reds but the linear-ness was hard on the fingers so I went with blues and I love them. Don't see a reason to switch.
