Mechanical Keyboards

I'm looking to buy one.

I know nothing about keyboards.

Educate me.

My wpm on a crappy keyboard is between 140-165, so I'm looking for something which will allow me to be a bit more nimble, and won't clog underneath my fingers.

Also, I want a numpad. Numpads are important.

yeah, definitely try to use the apex key before you buy then since reds are the opposite of what it sounds that you like

keep in mind, they use their own switches and i've never tried them. the internet just tells me they're identified closely with reds

did you sell the salt in the winter? did you know salt is harder to come by during the winter because they use it to melt the snow in the northeast of america

edit: oh ya, also all the switches in general are just more loud than the regular membrane keyboard, so maybe just the switch from that may be good enough and the other switches may be too loud for you

Kevin, that keyboard is so hipster, also way too small. I use the numpad all the time so I'd never be able to get something like that.

btw, my RAZER keyboard glows depending on if im boosting somebody on mercy or healing somebody on mercy. its quite beautiful


Yeah that's why I liked the Apex. You can put timers on the keys to light a certain colour, so if for example you were playing a MOBA or an RPG, you could set it so that the cooldowns were shown on the keyboard. I probably wouldn't use it, but just knowing I had the option is the sort of pointless thing I care about.

ya i also lied, apparently razer has cheaper chroma keys that use their outdated keys

ill just give the general advice everyone usually gives. if possible, try to try the different keys out somewhere

mostly the difference is based on the reaction you get when you actually click a key. for example, i like blues for typing because they make a loud noise and its pretty enjoyable to type fast with the keys being loud as fk

i personally like the keys where you 'feel' something when you press the key, so its up to preference. apparently the M800 uses switches mostly close to red, which don't really give you a reaction when typing on the key


I don't feel comfortable about buying Razer products anymore to be honest, so I don't think I was going to go down that route anyway. I'll try and find somewhere to use the keys before I go ahead and buy. I like loud, satisfying clicky noises, but I also want a keyboard that just insanely responsive and doesn't suck your fingers in when you type on it. Do they red keys make a nice sound?
