http://geekhack.org/forumdisplay.php?f=31 These guys are a bit crazy about keyboards but there are a lot of reviews, pictures, and discussions about all the different types of switches etc. They even have sound clips of different keyboards... Most people over there recommend brown switches for gaming over black. My Saitek EII started wearing out after about 6 months (2nd saitek) because they are about as terrible as Logitech keyboards. After browsing the geekhack forums and not seeing anything positive about Deck I bought a Filco FKBN104M/EB. It finally got here today and I love it already. It's the best keyboard I've ever used. This is also a decent option if you want a mechanical switch keyboard but a few people at geekhack had some problems with it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823224001&Tpk=abs%20m1

Jetfire posted:Filco's Majestouch line recently released a Tactile Click version that uses the clicky-type Cherry Blue Switches. They also released a blank version, like the Das Ultimate, in limited quantities. I'm seriously contemplating this since it's a fair bit cheaper than the Das. Does anyone have hands-on experience with either or both? http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:4370& Decent comparison of the two. I was considering the Das too but it's too expensive and didn't look that great compared to the Filco.

sotorious posted:Difference between the blue and brown is the noise level? as in blue being louder? I listened to some sound files comparing the two and blues were far too loud for me. I got the brown keys and I remember shipping taking a few days longer than somewhere like Amazon. I've had my filco for a couple months and it's the best keyboard I've ever used. edit: I posted this way earlier in the thread but if you want a good comparison of keyboards as well as other things like sound files head here http://geekhack.org/forumdisplay.php?f=31 they are a bit crazy over keyboards but better reviews than other places.

Linux Nazi posted:What is the best place to order a Filco Tenkeyless Chery Blue? I think elite keyboards has been linked a couple times in this thread but they are all out of stock. Any other trustworthy places to order them from? I think he's the only dude that sells them. The only people that find the screen on the g11/g15 useful are the people trying to justify spending a ton of money on a terrible keyboard.

Has anyone bought a keyboard or keycaps from The Keyboard Company? I'm trying to find replacement keycaps for my Filco Majestouch. I'm looking for black keycaps with white lettering.

Astrobastard posted:Ive done a fair bit of googling for keycap sets, I need a replacement set for my WASD and ebay seems to have the best selection. I think I'm just going to end up ordering a set directly from WASD themselves instead, as you can go completely balls out on the customisation and get the colours and lettering exactly how you'd want it (etched/lasered, font size and type etc). I can't find any printed keycap sets on The Keyboard Company, just blank ones, but the website is a bit difficult to navigate so there may be some hiding Their website does suck but they have 2 sets in stock. With shipping from the UK, they're still cheaper than WASD so I'll probably go with them. I like the black keycaps over colored anyway.

I changed my mind, I think I'm going to go for something different and get these instead for my Filco. http://www.ebay.com/itm/KBC-Blue-Dyesub-Thick-PBT-104-Keyset-Cherry-MX-Keycaps-/230968344724?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35c6c94094 I want to try out these thicker keycaps and the dye sublimation since they'll wear out much slower.

Klyith posted:Dyesub PBT sets are expensive, though that's more expensive than most because of the color. But even if you get in on one of the bulk group-buys that people at geekhack or deskthority organize, they're still like $50 or more for a set. Yeah, that's why I want a set. I'm going to see if I can get in on a group buy in the next month.
