Mechnical Keyboard which one?

[Pe-Killer]

I'm looking to get a mechanical keyboard next month but I have no idea which one to get. I mostly play rts/rpg now and then I’ll play an fps but very rarely. It looks like most mechanical keyboards are built for fps gamers.
The only Mechanical keyboard that’s really build for rpg/rts which I found was the Corsair Vengeance K90 is this best choice?

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated
Thx.

Built for FPS - not true.

Search the forum for "mechanical keyboards."

Look at the CM Storm range. If you have personal space you can't go wrong with blue switches. Next I would go for brown.

I wouldn't say they are specifically good for FPS only- I play MOBA and RTS games on a mechanical keyboard. +1 to the CM storm range- I have the CM quickfire rapid (cherry blue) and think it's awesome. I've also got the Steelseries 7g (cherry black) and I enjoy it too, but prefer the "clickyness" of the cherry blue switches.

Can't go wrong with the Quickfire Rapid blue. It's what I use.

Yip selling one on behalf of friend - too loud for his office.

I'd have taken it by now but you rejected my (admittedly lowball) offer :/

CM storm trigger for the win! with blue switches if you don't to worry about the noise!

I also had a look at that, but it's pricey +/-1.3K that quite a bit to spend on a keyboard.Where the Coolermaster goes for R700.

This. Except I went for the red switches instead.

Do you not find them a bit light?

I love my Osmium cherry red keys made it easier to switch from a regular gaming keyboard & the USB & audio passthrough ports are really good.... But best thing is, It's blue, very blue. lol

I thought the 70 odd macros would be good for your RTS/RPG'ing.

It would be good. I'll just have to wait and see how my cash flow works out end of the month.

If you get stuck, I can give it to your for R1252.86 - if you're in JHB you can collect, though my suppliers might deliver.

Not at all as I'm used to bottoming out my key presses coming from a G11 Logitech. The reds are just perfect for gaming, FPS, MMOs or otherwise.

I have the CM storm quickfire pro and i will say it is brilliant keyboard! great features and really smooth! and it is R801 from Landmark computers

These look really nice, seriously considering one...
