QUOTE(sayming @ Jan 14 2011, 02:43 PM) mechanical switches, full NKRO...they improve ur APM a lot... the easy to get are: SS 6g v2, 7g and razer BW... the harder to get are the better ones: filco (fruitdealer and other pro gamers in KR using), ducky etc ps: they cost 300++ |

QUOTE(kEazYc @ Jan 14 2011, 03:03 PM) I don't remember better keyboard can improves your APM - - its due to the actuation point when u dun have to bottom up...The korean are just using membrane keyboard like DT-35 and their APM could achieve 300+ unless u are used to bottoming up thanks to membrane keyboards, then mechanical keyboard is nt needed... ppl who touch type have around 100wpm on mechanical keyboards due to this... |

QUOTE(ROTiJOHN @ Jan 14 2011, 06:08 PM) i'm not so emphasize in peripheral, but using a good mouse la, razer deathadder. hahaha am using logitech RM20 keyboard lolz well i dun last time (i used to ask ppl to get mousepad > mouse > keyboard)...but when u reached a certain extend u would be frustrated with ur gears... i'm using a cheapo keyboard and i getting very very annoyed with it... let it be typing for my work, WoW or sc2... some keys jz dun register unless u bottom down fully which is not helping when i now touch type alot (u will reach that stage when u type a lot especially if u do coding etc)... and the lack of NKRO further made it worst when u press keys in such rapid succession... waiting for filco brown to be in msia and would be picking it up ASAP... that's how frustrated i am... PS: blackwidow is generally nt recommended for gaming due to it using blue switches which is meant more for typing and harder to double tab keys... oh ya in wow when i maximize my dps making use of every GCD i tend to press lots of keys very fast especially on mobile fights... those are the moments when u will feel the need for NKRO etc...

QUOTE(kEazYc @ Jan 14 2011, 09:01 PM) I have 150wpm+ when i'm in primary school... and i believe the primary school's keyboard aren't mechanical...and yes its proven by the softwares used by my Microsoft Office teachers and i got the Microsoft certs as well for typing fast, which is useless for my future purpose. sorry as much as i wanna believe u having 150wpm, its nt something possible unless u are typing short ez words...But i believe with the result of typing fast, i'm able to achieve this in the video below, sorry for the blury capture tho. professional typist float at around 100-120... the record is 216wpm... btw o2jam is more to spamming and reaction rather than accuracy at all... had frens with low wpm that did so well in o2jam (my sis included lol) |

QUOTE(LostWanderer @ Jan 14 2011, 11:30 PM) actually, i would put o2jam more to reaction + MEMORY...if u memorized the song, u can play it with your eyes closed, lol... well mechanical keyboards are known to be 10x more durable compared to membranes...02 jam is a keyboard killer though, so...XD...i wonder does a g7 dies to it too, lol QUOTE(kEazYc @ Jan 15 2011, 01:41 AM) I don't know about it then, the teacher just ask me to key in a paragraph with more than 500 words infront of some guy, and i thought that these guy must be some higher level teacher that wanted to see how's the student's standard over there after 5-6 months, end up the teacher told me they are some guy from Microsoft after i finished key'ing in, and i see something like 15x ish number on the software when the guy took over the computer, few days later i got a cert from Microsoft noted that i'm one of the fastest typist in the younger generation, my teacher explained everything after that because they are amazed to see such fast typist in the younger generation, and so they make an appointment with the Microsoft fella, then got took photo by the media and stuffs, and of course shwoing their huge company name at the back, probably they wan more students to enroll to their class, marketting stuffs. not that i doubt you but 150wpm is a little hard to believe as i've said as it is very very fast even for professional typist to reach that speed...Funny stuffs is i did even brought this cert to my first interview for a job, but sadly my SPM results turned the interviewer down. and ya sadly in our country results > all and they rarely take other merits like skills etc... part of the reason why i did pushed myself very hard back then but i would say its worth it... still studying now? ps: dress formal and no spiky hair etc during interview >.< |

QUOTE(LostWanderer @ Jan 16 2011, 05:55 PM) oo, thanks evo...was thinking of getting a SS keyboard...was wondering between the 7G or the 6gv2...done some homework and many said that it's pretty much the same, except that the 6g doesn't have wrist wrest and some earphone usb port...thus, makes it cheaper i know scrubbie is using 6gv2 as well =pcool, will try to get it some time in the future, haha i'm still waiting for filco brown... |

QUOTE(ROTiJOHN @ Jan 17 2011, 09:48 AM) whats the biggest advantage of using mechanical keyboard? i am using the RM20 keyboard, and i like the feel. mostly the durability, response time (actuation point) where u dun have to bottom up and feedback (u can feel the key presses)...the NKRO helps when u are pressing keys in rapid succession that they overlaps more than 2 keys as most keyboard is on 2-KRO |

QUOTE(ROTiJOHN @ Jan 17 2011, 03:13 PM) means if i spam APM, press 5 keys together, it counted 5 times? i know my currect keyboard, if i spam too much, the mobo will scream DUTTT.. yup...u can press all the keys together and it would be count as u press all keys... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollover_(key) when u reach a certain typing speed, it would be a problem (even for gaming like FPS where u starve + crouch while reloading etc)... |

QUOTE(rockccf @ Jan 17 2011, 04:28 PM) The problem is I got no idea where can I test those switches LOL since this is my first time getting a mechanical keyboard. pc fair i guess, but filco is nt there though rumors of them being imported is there...QUOTE(Nandeska @ Jan 17 2011, 04:26 PM) wait for pc fair, i remember last time they let u "test drive" their product. Dont worry too much on keyboards, what is important is your skill. yup when ur hardware is limiting ur improvement then it matters...else its skill sitll >.< |
