Need a Keyboard

[Cliotoby]

Ive got maybe £120. Fancy The Corsair K70...

I want a decent one. i will be typing on this thing 9-5 for work and then occasionally Ill be using it to play games with.

Can you provide me with some suggestions please. Not bothered about macros etc. its mainly a nice key feel I am looking for.

K70 is awesome!

Bought one for myself the a week or so ago. Replaced a Razer BlackWidow Stealth which was just ridiculously loud. I'm talking typewriter loud.

Comfortable, easy to type on, very well lit (if you're so inclined) and not as loud as the BlackWidow either.

K70 - get one.

Sweet that's a good enough review for me

​Cheers

Got the fucker.

Its LOUD!

Had one of those thin apple keyboard before this so its quite a change.

I have a K70 and it's easily my favourite peripheral I own

I find the Cherry MX red switches extremely light though, but I soon got used to them. That's probably why it seams loud to you as you're probably bottoming out each key stroke, you really only need to lightly tap each one.

I have one of these at work, love it.

Could get a proper mech keyboard, such as a Filco or Ducky for £120

K70 is a proper mech keyboard...

£120? For a keyboard? Something that you type with? Am I missing something here? Whats so good about it?

 

[Amberlamps]

Give me a tkl filco with browns or a ducky shine with browns over that corsair anyday.

End thread.

Logitech G19. I have the G15 (orange screen) that is programmable for practically anything. Games, Software... Display what you like on the screen.

What are you, 12?

That thing looks hideous, i would not want it on my desk.

 

[Chapster5]

Nope lol they are awesome keyboards and the macros you can program into them is awesome. You can develop your own software to work with the LCD Drivers to display what ever you want from what ever program you want.

Sounds like a gimmick. And its too big. I can create Marcos for a normal keyboard anyway so there is really no need.

Its just big and ugly and makes your desk look really s**t.

Each to their own. Best keyboard I've owned to date so many useful features.

Whats so good about an M3?

Still gets you to the supermarket right?

Wow that's a bit harsh mate, it's a smart keyboard and extremely popular at LAN's. Look great in the flesh.

 

[McGherkin]

Lol at everyone bashing G15's/G19's.

Great keyboards tbh.

It'll get you to the supermarket a whole lot faster. Does this Keyboard allow me to type faster?

 

[Wilkeh]

Yes, as it's mechanical....

A ducky or filco will last you forever. Solidly built, cherry mx switches and can get backlit ones. For typing on they are supreme, and excellent for gaming if you dont need macros. The blue switches do have a noticeable click, browns, blacks and reds are preferred for gaming.

I use a Razer keyboard. Just bought this it is pricey but oh well http://www.razerzone.com/gb-en/store/razer-deathstalker-ultimate

We just replaced ours with a cheaply from Asda of all places, I think it was £9.99.

​for the limited use our PC has, the keyboard seems to do the job perfectly well enough for our tasks.
