What Keyboard should i get?

[TIGR]

Deck Legend user chiming in here. I found mine for $100, gently used. Before buying it, before I had used any mechanical keyboard, I might have wondered if it was worth $100, or the $150 it usually costs. And my answer is this: if I could go back in time and choose again whether or not to buy it, I would even if it was $150. You can find info on its aesthetics, functionality, and specs anywhere so I'm just posting to answer the question "is it worth it?" from my perspective.

Buy quality, buy once.

might aswell pick up an IBM Model M keyboard then lol

Unicomp customisers are the copy of those, they bought the plans or the tech or something and started making the boards again. Great for typing but i dont know if they are good for gaming.

You gotta recall that the feedback of them will be faster than dome type switches, n i believe u dont even have to press the key fully to get the command u want

I personally wouldn't use Cherry MX Blues for gaming, you can do it but its not ideal.

Deck Legends are absolute quality keyboards but are pretty basic and pricey. Its a shame most of the inferior quality boards offer more of the flashy stuff. Same with the Das keyboards really nice to use but basic as far as features go.

The Razor board, some of the keys interfere with each other like the spacebar, the spacebar has shit stabilizers, dont know if its the same now but the they had a shitty OEM, problems with firmware, keycap quality could be better, the fact its glossy and made by razer, looks plasticy, strange font on the keys, keys are looser, on the right hand side they decided to put the usb and audio ports problem is most people have their mice on that side of the desk, MX Blues should be marketed for gaming they are not gaming keys sure you can use them for that and its okay but its not ideal like MX Blacks are but then thats like saying you can type on Blacks but they arnt better.

The reason Cherry MX Blues are not ideal for gaming is because of the actuation point. The actuation and release point can throw people off when gaming, MX blues are bouncier than say Browns. "Some don't like the fact that the release point is above the actuation point. This can cause some trouble with double-tapping."

Yes it looks plasic and it is lol, although it's still a very heavy for a keyboard. I like the clicky sound my self it actually encourages me to use less force on the keys and yes i have had the double click when not wanted but found out it was just to lack of voltage on the southbridge maybe due to me using all USB connections on the system. And i forgot about the audio ports and the usb connection is terrible for a right handed person and totally sweet for a left handed person lol.
