Mechanical Keyboard Crew

[Wilddog]

Are mechanical keyboards as great as I hear?
Want to give them a try, something mid range and wireless. Preferably without rgb lighting.
Bonus points if they're loud so that I can annoy my wife and co-workers with CLicKiTy ClAcK.
Needs a numpad too.

The k1 is horrible, IMO. I returned it in 2 days.

K2 is so much better

i've always used a slim keyboard, i'm used to it, so i love this D;

used a logitech K740 for like 10 years. tried a G915 but it doesn't have keys for mac so i sold it. then tried the mx keys, but that piece of shit backlighting won't stay on even when plugged in.

Ultimate Hacking Keyboard – The keyboard. For professionals.

if you type for a living, split keyboards are the way to go

another good option Kinesis Ergonomic Keyboards, Mice and Input Solutions (kinesis-ergo.com)

oh nm

 

[Guy Friesch]

i've got a cheapo MagicForce keyboard with new keycaps and i love it. prefer typing on it versus anything.

I'd start with something like a ducky one with MX blues

Switch options: Cherry MX Black, Brown, Blue, Red, Silver, White, Clear, Silent Red, Green, or Silent Black.

damn it!! I just got a mech keyboard last week and now I want this one. it looks great I should have asked OT before I bought

I want one that doesn't make so much noise so this in brown or red would be nice. when it's in stock I think I will buy.

 

[whatever]

yes

ducky shine

 

[Jim Lahey]

Shoutout to Filco as well, just had to plug mine in for reasons

 

[imbored]

I've got a Logitech G810 w/ Browns. It's begun random switch death after low use.

I liked the feel of Browns but the noise output is a bit much if you come close to sharing space or do any kind of gaming w/ voice.

picked up a razor huntsman mini (60%)

Enjoy the small profile but id rather had gotten a 65%.
