Planning on saving up for a mechanical keyboard this summer so I can go to GXL with a decent keyboard (And not suck video games).
I'm looking for a full keyboard, arrow keys, numpad and all. I plan to use this for work and play, so to say. Ideally, if I can, a backlit would be nice. The one thing that made playing on my laptop tolerable, was having backlit keys.
Budget isn't a huge concern since I'm still feeling out what I like and don't like. I know from trying out some in the past that I cannot type to save my life on any Razer keyboard. I went and tried some keyboards at a store today. I found that I liked the Cherry MX Brown switches the most.
Here are some that I like:
Corsair K70 RGB (The most expensive, but also available without LED back lighting for less)
- Comes with a removable wrist rest. I hear Corsair's drivers are bad. I'll assume it's like navigating UGC's website.
Das Keyboard Model S (The store I was at did not have any models with brown switches.)
Cooler Master Quickfire XT
Those are the three off-hand I like. Do any of you have recommendations? Comments?
