Keyboard advice, mechanical worth the hype?

[Pooky]

Don't you find them too loud or to hard to press? I've never used any mechanical keyboards before so I just want more views on blue vs brown.

They are fairly easy to press, certainly no harder than a normal PC keyboard, and the sound is the best part!

Haha thanks, will check pavillion today or just bite the bullet and order online.

My GF constantly complains about the tactile feedback that my kb gives, it is loud, you get used to it. I actually like it infact. It's all a matter of taste tbh. test out a few then buy.

Mechs are great for anything. Whenever i use a membrane keyboard I feel really **** about myself. Seriously mech is the way. I am so lucky that I got my Razer BW Ultimate before the prices skyrocketed (they are R1900 now, i got mine for R1200).

+1

OP, just bear in mind all the differences.

In the case of reds, some may love them for everything, others for gaming mainly, others might find that they are too light to press and lead to more typos.

Best to try them all out, perhaps you can find a place.

Blues/browns are generally the best bet.

Thanks, all I could see in the shop was a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate with the arrow keys open to touch and they didn't feel as good as I was hoping, they blue afaik. Are there people that just don't like mechanical keys?

I can't remember how it felt in the box. But I still jizz my pants everytime I start typing.
