Mechanical Keyboards Options

Who's got one and are you happy with it?
If so, which brand and what type of switches are you rocking out?
What is your main use for it? (gaming, typing, etc)

I've been looking into getting one, but still can't decide on what type of switch I'd prefer. I guess I really need to try before I buy.

im using CoolerMaster Storm Trigger Cherry Red Mechanical Keyboard With Black 50A-R O-rings, the oring raise the bottom out by about 0.9-1mm, so instead of it being 4mm full 2mm trigger its like 3mm full 2mm trigger. I also baught this keyboard because it looked good, it had a special plastic coating on the keys which makes it feel good, it is also illuminated, also the entire keyboard is rubber coated, orgasm to your fingers.

i only use it for gaming. before that i was using a razer lycosa for low profile speed ;p, but u will get used to mechanical after week. remember its not the tool that makes u win or lose, its the ability of you to adapt to such tools.

as for the orings u can buy them from wasd in america.

I currently use and love my Razor Blackwidow Ultimate. Many people say I'm going to give myself RSI earlier than usual, but given we all fap it's kind of a given really?

If this is of help to anyone, u can buy key tester packs for the cherry series black/red/brown/blue from maxkeyboards or even wasd if your undecided on which type of cherry mx to buy

Ducky Zero with Cherry Brown keys for me. Damn I love this keyboard.

...Although I drive my family nuts since I touch-type. Not a quiet keyboard. Then again, mechanicals rarely are.

I chose the Brown since this is my first Mechanical, and Brown is meant to be a half-way between Black/Red (gamer-design) and White/Blue (touch-typist design).

CORRECT ME IF I STUFFED UP THE COLOURS PLEASE!
