| Post subject: | Mechanical keyboards |
I'm thinking about buying a mechanical keyboard, but don't really know anything about them. What sorts of features or characteristics should I be looking for? What are some features to stay away from? Is it all just how it physically feels in my hands or am I safe to buy online? Any reasonably priced recommendations? |

http://www.overclock.net/t/491752/mecha ... oard-guide I purchased the Steelseries 6Gv2 for its cherry black keys and durability(It can handle gamer rage). I didn't want to order one online from Das or Ducky. Corsair doesn't use all mechanical keys, Razers apparently break easily. Rosewill's mech keyboards have amazing reviews and a variety of switches. |

I was looking at Rosewill. They all got really good reviews except for one problem that almost everybody had. The USB plugs would always come loose. Plus, based on that article, I think I will want a PS/2 mouse anyway. That article was very informative. Thanks for posting it. (Though much of it is taken word-for-word from the steelseries website  )

PS/2 keyboards are the way to go, The steelseries has the option for both. USB mice + Overclocking the polling rate would be as good as a PS/2 mouse. I have tried different polling rates 125, 500, 1000hz and I couldn't notice a difference personally. Is there anywhere in your general location that sells gaming peripherals like keyboards, and have them on display? Its definitely a matter of taste. I know some people that can;t stand any of them and have went back to normal membrane keyboards. |

Not with any reasonable selection. BestBuy only has one mechanical keyboard, and it isn't that one. Aside from that, I have never seen a mechanical keyboard for sale anywhere. |
