Hi

Lately im searching for a good mechanical keyboard for gaming after using G110 for generation

My desk isn't that big, So im looking for a compact one TKL

The G Pro with Romer-G got my notice it is looking great but i don't know

Also the K63 with Red switches

 I play a lot of FPS Games, So what is your suggestions ?

What switches is best for games like Overwatch CS:GO RealmRoyale ?

Never tried any of MX Cherry switches not Romer-G either

The best layout IMO is 82 key.   It basically eliminates the separation between the keyboard and arrows/pg up dn delete.

(and all of the related items are for different switches).   If you're thinking "it's not cherry switches", believe me there's no noticeable difference. Chinese have gotten very very good at knocking the Cherry MX switch design off.

Try the switches, either in store or by ordering a key switch tester. Personally I prefer the Reds over the Romer Gs. The Romer Gs aren't that bad once they're broken in though.

I'd also consider some low profile mechanical keyboards if you're used to typing on laptop keyboards at all.

But what the deal with the Black switches ?
