So, I work at a text based web game here in Norway and got an offer to wish for some "Computer equipment" if I need anything for a big event we are having Friday 13th. (Best day to host a big event eh?)

 

 

The "problem" is, I already have bought almost everything new this summer, and I will not go for a new monitor until I get a 24" 4k for a alright price.

 

 

I have landed on wishing for a new Keyboard and some SSD's, (My Agility 3 seems to go quite slower after some years of use). And a mouse
I have already decided on a mouse though, the Func MS-3 (Or something) that there was a TheckQuickie add about some months ago (A friend has it, love it!)

 

 

But I need some advice on keyboard and SSD

 

I think going for 2x 120GB 840 EVO

 

 

For keyboard I now have a Qpad MK-80 with Cherry MX Blue, but spilled soda on it ones and it have not been the same since then (Some buttons that just won't stop being buggy and twitchy)

 

 

I really REALLY love the Blue switches, but I would wish to get rid of the noise, it annoys people I Skype with 

 

Any recommendations? I looked at that new MX Clear keyboard, but I do not like the thought of so heavy keys

 

 

EDIT: I should have written this in word to check for spelling errors...
EDIT2: I did now, any errors? Blame Microsoft : >

EDIT3: OH Mousepad, a soft one!

Try MX Brown switches. Same feel, but no noise.

 

Also, why not a single 250GB 840 EVO?

Go with a 250GB Evo and what is your budget for your keyboard? Brown switches seem like the way to go.

Err, not sure about the budget, as long as the total not surpasses 600$ or something like that I should be okey, I think

Because Raid 0 ?

 

EDIT: Oh wait, I remember now, there was a significant difference between the 120GB and the 250GB

I have a G400 now, but it is a bit too small to me, and the G500s does not look any better :P

 

The Func MS-3 fits perfectly for me though

Question ? Why raid 0 and not as a regular boot or storage drive

yeah, I don't want a larger monitor (Okey, perhaps 27") and I already have a very good 1080p 23" sooo, the next step for me will be a 4k monitor, nothing less :P

I'm thinking it'll be quite a while before we see anything like a 24" 4K display. 

1440p 27" would be more practical in price and function.
