Mechanical Keyboard Club!

Dave :)

In my experience, Razer can only make mice everything else will break.

rocking a full razer setup (my ocd demands that everything is nice and from the same brand) for 2 yrs and everything still works fine for me.. and mouse gets thrown at the wall alot (you know cod4 and its bullshit) and its till in perfect conditon

Nice! I believe you'll need an adapter for the keyboard before you can plug it in the PS/2 port.

Mind taking a close up of the switch? I believe it's MX Clear, but it'd be great if you could provide a pic for us to verify :)

Recently got a CM Storm Quickfire TK with brown switches. I am astounded at how nice it is.

The first step to insanity is believing in your sanity.

The new one is better than the old one build quality wise but I still cant stand that they shifted the F row.

Need a cheap mech keyboard but I cant use it primarilly due to its noise and me being a gaming youtuber.

huh?

for a kmac2, that's pretty reasonable as long as you get the switches + colors you want. for that much though, I would want more bling and get a gold GON.

Using my Ducky Shine III for a week now, I really like it! I recommand all of you to buy it if you search for a new keyboard. Yes, it's quite expensive but it's worth it.

That's why you'd see us recommending a Ducky or Filco keyboard most of the time when someone asks for mechanical keyboard recommendations. They are very well made with excellent build quality.I have a DS, three DS2's and a DS3 plus two other Ducky keyboards (non-Shine).

I own a quickfire tk with mx blues, ive used it for maybe 6-8 months and its been great! But im looking for another KB (mechanical of course) i've got my eyes on either the shine 2 black base white caps or spending more money and getting the shine 3 or even more money and getting the yots version of the shine 3, I havent decided yet. Also any suggestions of where to buy cherry mx keycaps preferably near New Zealand or with cheap shipping to New Zealand I want to customise my keyboard and soon to be keyboards rather than just keep them as stock.

I was goofing around a couple of days ago while I was out and about, ran into Best Buy. I checked out their PC gaming area because I know they have some mid-level GPUs, and apparently they started carrying Corsair peripherals. I saw a spot on the shelf for the K70, but they didn't have any. I woke up today and checked the website to see if they other Best Buy in town had any in stock, boom, they did. I had an hour before the NFL games started so I decided to go pick one up.

 

They were the same price as they were on Newegg, but I could get it today. Win-win.

 

My first mechanical keyboard. So far I am really enjoying it. I'll have to get accustomed to the new feel after switching from an Apple chiclet keyboard, but I'm sure it won't take too long to do so.

 

Corsair K70, Cherry MX Red switches, red backlight. The backlight matches my Diablo III SteelSeries mouse perfectly. Overall I am very happy.

Yes they started stocking them recently, my guess is because christmas shopping season has started.

 Whatever the reason, I am happy. Best Buy is usually only good for feeding my ego. I love to go in and eavesdrop on the BS employees are feeding the customers. The only online retailer I can order from and get computer parts in less than a week is Amazon, any other retailer and it takes at least a week. So it is nice to be able to walk into a place, pay the same price as a respectable online retailer, and walk out the door with my goods all in a span of 15 minutes.

BestBuy will price match newegg, even sale prices I believe. I found this crazy when I heard about it but I was told about it as i was checking out because I mentioned the item was $10 cheaper on newegg.

I forgot if I've posted here or not.... I've got a Cooler Master CM Storm Trigger Cherry MX Black keyboard. I may or may not upload a photo...

 

I wish I'd gotten tactile or clicky switch :S The switches are still really nice.
