its quick and easy with a proper wire keypuller. What I find more fun is playing the keyboard alphabet once your done.

I just keep them in the same order as pluck them. Makes getting them all back in their right place a breeze.

Or else I would have just used my Ducky YotH :D

I'd like to try a G910, but there's nowhere near me that has mechanical keyboards in both variety and sampling numbers.

 

I know, I ran into the same problem.  No Best buy in my area has them in stock, so I just went for it and got it off Amazon.

 

Honestly I was a little worried about the key caps, but I can say without a doubt, they aren't as bad as people are making them out to be.  It actually feels more comfortable to me than regularly shaped caps.  I haven't found my fingers catching on the edges or anything like that, despite what Linus said about it.  I also find this keyboard to be very comfortable to type on, not just game.

 

I can't say enough about the switches!  They register right at the top of the keypress so you don't need to bottom out the key and they are extremely quiet for a mechanical.  They don't have as much tactile feedback as I would have thought, but they still feel really nice imo.  I am really happy with my purchase, great keyboard.

Full size or no?

I must congratulate you on not going the Corsair Vengeance route.

As nice as it looks, I wanted MX blues and corsair have issues with the LEDs dying, so I thought I'd go for something built like a tank instead.

Loving my first mech (pok3r with blue :)). Wish LMG would do reviews on less "mainstream" keyboards and more enthusiast stuff like 60% and ortholinears.

Got my first mech keyboard 4 days ago and it's a razer blackwidow ultimate 2013 edition with cherry MX blues (yup, last year for Razer to use cherry switches before switching to kailh switches :P). Usually I would avoid razer products as they are over-priced and not the best built but for 65 pounds, brand new, it was a deal that was stupid to miss...and this still has a year of warranty through the seller and not Razer themselves...

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

KInda want to buy a 60% like a pok3r, but I know I don't need it just yet xD.

 

Planning on buying some blank keycaps for my DS4 from massdrop. Hopefully UK import tax isn't too expensive.

Picked up a K70 with MX Brown switches. I contemplated buying a K65 but I didn't like the feel of reds for typing.

I just got the Logitech G710+ Cherry Brown and a Razer Orbweaver gamming keypad Cherry Blue. but website says Razer Green Switch.

 

I just got the G710+ 2 days ago, I came from the Logitech G510 circuit board so its a change for me getting used to it but I am liking it very much. :wub:

Changed up a Razer Blackwidow Tourney Ed. just because.

 

Is the casing aluminum ? Any flex in it ?

Nope, it's just the stock plastic shell, that I painted Gunmetal Grey (Top shell) & Brunswick Green (bottom shell).

 

It's just a cheap used board I picked up, that I cleaned up and fixed, and had to paint to cover up the sanding that was done.

I got a K95 on Saturday and some of the keys feel different to the main keys the G Keys feel more rugged and are harder to press down slightly. I wonder if i have a Brown macro set added on to a red keyboard. Anyone else notice this ?
