Best Mechanical Gaming Keyboard?

[HoboCannibaL]

I was thinking about getting the ms sidewinder x4 (i know its non mechanical) but its out of stock, after researching keyboards, i was wondering what the best mechanical gaming keyboard would be to get. any help would be great, also include why its a good keyboard if you can (ie: extra macro keys, programmable, comfortable, etc...) thanx to all who help {=^.^=}

Not the best, but for the price, it's one of the best.

it is imperative that i have the number pad lol, but nice recommendation

i don't mind investing in a good keyboard, i'm a college student, so i type papers ALL of the time, i also program a lot, and game a lot....so most of my time spent is at the keyboard.

@djangoringo that das model looks amazing and has great reviews, but i'm curious, why doesn't have key inscriptions on the keys?

 

[djangoringo]

It's for pros, pros don't need the key inscriptions, if you're gaming and looking for the correspondent key inscription good luck with that lol.

The Corsair K90 is a really solid keyboard, but if you type a lot, you might want to get a keyboard with MX blues

There's a printed version.

 

[HoboCannibaL]

hah, yeah i don't need key inscriptions when typing and stuff, just will take a bit getting used to when i'm coding lol....

 

[HoboCannibaL]

i heard the k90 is a good keyboard, but its not without its problems

i heard the k90 is a good keyboard, but its not without its problems

What problems?

 

[HoboCannibaL]

hmmm....maybe cherry mx black or red switches...

hmmm....maybe cherry mx black or red switches...

People who type a lot like the cherry mx blues

 

[HoboCannibaL]

yeah i've been reading up on the switch types

"Cherry MX Red Switch - The red switch is a lot like the black one except that you don't have to press down as hard and is not quite as noisy. This makes it a bit faster overall than the black and a little less accurate. Great for FPS-type games where you need to be quick and also among the best mechanical keyboard switches for typing"

 

[HoboCannibaL]

What problems?

there are a lot of issues dealing with the backlights on the keys not working, sometimes macro keys don't work etc...i was actually looking to get that, still might....but that das may have me sold

 

[djangoringo]

The das is a good option if you can afford it, the CM Storm QuickFire TK is another good one if you want to spend only ~80$.

 

[HoboCannibaL]

yeah i agree, thanks guys
