Mechanical Keyboards

Anyone into them?

 

I've got a full size Filco Majestouch with cherry blues and a 60% I made, with a copper plate, black aluminium case, tai-hao pbt double shot, cherry blues. I got some nice person cables with them, one copper (to match the plate) and the other black on black with a lemo and 12inch coil.

Grabbed one of those as an early xmas prezzie to myself to replace my shite £30~ keyboard. Love it.

Nice one!

 

I do a load of typing, office job..., and they've totally transformed my writing experience.

 

I want to try out some more switches though. People complain about my Blues when I'm typing while on the phone. Going to look into some silents.

Why's that? I find it so much better. Do you know what keycaps and switches it has?

Cherry silent switches, its a corsair. i find it double taps letters a bit and sometimes i pout the psaces in the wrong place lol, i edit most of what i type

Depends what you're doing, gaming I get the need to have a funky board with a different configuration, maybe extra keys for your keybinds and stuff. 

 

But for actually typing, I can't think of too much better than my £20 bog standard logitech.

the mech is good for gaming, i'll give you that, its why I couldnt go back now even though I cant type for shit. the hybrid mech/mebrane ones seem an interesting middle ground, never tried one though

Yeah the blues are really loud, but I sorta like the clciky feel to them. My mate has the brown version and it's a lot quieter, I'd have probably gone with that one if noise mattered but for me it doesn't and the blue version was £20 cheaper at the time.

Looks like a colossal waste of cash to me

I have Fnatic ministreak with cherry MX browns, I absolutely adore it. Feels so good to game and type on.

You need to give one a go!

As I said, I do a lot of typing and my keyboards have really improved my work environment.

I wonder if it's the silents. I'm probably going got swappable next time round. I soldered my Blues in and kinda wished I'd tried some other switches.
