    Default Mechanical Keyboards

    They are awesome. I have a Cherry Red Rosewill right now, and typing is a joy. And Cherry Red switches aren't even the best for typing.

    Switches and cherries you say? Why let me link to this very informative write up on mechanical keyboards:
    http://www.overclock.net/t/491752/me...keyboard-guide

    Basically, mechanical switches under each key give a much crisper feeling and allow for pushing more buttons at once. Most keyboards nowadays have rubber membranes under each key.

    Anyone else have a mechanical keyboard?

    Since I've moved on to laptops, I have to deal with whatever cheap keyboard the manufacturer puts on. But I've got a Model M that I loved. Great feel, great sound, and you could beat an intruder to death with it in between gaming sessions without damage. The best part about Model Ms is that you can do stuff like this to them.

    While I absolutely love Razor mice (I have a Razor Naga), I absolutely HATE the click-clack of keyboard sounds. This is the reason I love my Logitech K120 and would never buy anything (keyboard related) from Razor or Steelseries. Mine is nice and quiet, and works perfectly well in any game. Unless they make a mechanical keyboard that is silent, ggnore.

    I love my Razer Blackwidow... except when I'm trying to watch TV and someone else is using it. The click is so satisfying.

    I have a Logitech keyboard that cost me 12€ and I've got hardly any problems with it.

    My mouse is a Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 and it sure fixed the wrist pain that my Razer mouse caused.

    You mean the wrist is dead now and that's why it doesn't hurt anymore after longer usage?
