.2/10 would not bang.

Start by reading about different switch types.

I don't think a keyboard exists where you can change switches.

I hear razor is shit.
Duckys are good.

I would tell you more but I don't have a mech keyboard myself.

For plain typing, try Cherry MX Brown or Blue, and take a look at WASD keyboards.

I have a Unicomp Model-M. Loud, but I love the clickiness and durability.

If you don't mind a louder keyboard get MX Blues.

I don't know what's /g/s opinion on the CM QuickFire TK, but they seem to have a great layout and are don't have too much branding on them.

Use this guide OP

There are also green and grey switches

Looks like Mechanical Keyboards are getting more reputation. Didn't read much about the CM Quickfire Stealth, so what do you guys think about? Looks clean.

CM is definitely trying.

Which Cherry switch is better for both gaming and typing? Seems like they really differ.

>>33732001
Probably Brown.

>>33731673
>doesn't even have nmb switches
Pathetic.

Hey guys, I'm looking to trade my Leopold Otaku TKL Brown for any equivalent priced BLANK TKL keyboard with Blues.


Anyone.
Anyone ;_;

buy a cherry mx switch starter pack from like WASD or EK. you get one of each of the standard cherries along with a keycap so you can get a feel for them and see which one is best for you :3

Good for typing (feel a bump on keypress):
mx blue (clicks)
mx browns (no click)
mx clear (no click, heavier spring -> not easy to bottom out, thus rather quiet)

switches with bumps kinda suck at keydown games such as shooters or racing games, because you have to hold the key down below the bump to actuate it. On my mx browns, playing fps games for more than 3 hours are somewhat tiring.

For gaming, you'd rather want linear switches (key goes down all the way without bump). Reds (little resistance) or Blacks (high resistance)

I'm currently considering buying a small, tenkeyless linear kb for gaming and stick to my mx browns for all productivity stuff. That should also answer the question about switching switches. It doesn't work, sadly.

Pic: my mx brown board, and a cheap mx clear board I'm gonna gift to my dad.

>tfw I'm scared to buy a mechanical keyboard because I have no way of actually trying the keys for myself
Sucks being British.

>>33732001
Wondering this myself. I do a fuck ton of typing, but also a fuck ton of gaming. Buying two keyboards is clearly out of the question.

also, i found this in my /g/uides folder

>>33732632
Just go with the browns.

>>33732632
two cheap mech keyboards might suit you better than one expensive. Else, browns are really okay, just not great for keydown gaming. For rts and the likes it's perfectly fine.

>>33732333
Same situation so I ordered this

How does that work? Do you just attach the key to the switch and push it on its own? Seems like it wouldn't give a proper representation.

>>33732001
brown or black. brown if more inclined toward typing. black if more inclined towards gaming.

bump

>>33733436
Wondering this too.

>>33733436
Yes, well it's better than nothing or going in completely blind

>>33733314
Are WASD good? I'm thinking about ordering from them.

>>33734720
get a nighthawk x9 or ducky shines
