QUOTE(zandara @ Mar 31 2013, 03:58 PM) U gave wrong info. Black = Hard with linear feel(same as red but harder) Opps my bad. I forgotten it is non-tactile. Should be Blue and Brown. Amended Hardness comparison based on actuation force: Black is 60g, Red is 45g. This post has been edited by andrewtho: Mar 31 2013, 04:07 PM

QUOTE(aaronsuarez95 @ Mar 30 2013, 12:37 AM) is apex raw good enough for gaming? or should i get a mechanical kb? been using it for a week+ ... still not that used to the large size yet, still can typo all i play are rpgs, mmo, and the occasional 3rd person shooters, it gets the job done. still, i found myself not using any of the macros at the top of the F keys. might consider selling it off to get a slightly normal sized keyboard.

Just for the record,
the sensei mlg which I bought around chinese new year,
has started peeling, even when I took really good and meticulous care of it.
Will post a picture later today, only hoping for the best(peeling won't escalate), but not expecting much.
Exact date of purchase : 5th February 2013
Date of peeling : 3rd April 2013

Was betting on the mlg edition, since it boast a slight difference in colour compared to the standard sensei. Turns out it was a bad bet. On the flip side, putting the peeling issue aside. Performance of the mice is very much enjoyable.

At least it won't peel. Sensei Fnatic is rubber based

Just a random comment on the siberia v1 i bought back in 2008/09. Up till today, the headset is still looking good. 1 bad side of it is the mic is kinda annoying. Other than that, almost 4-5 years of using it. Serving me well. Oh, with the USB sound card as well.

The 2.0 is around RM190 for a mechanical keyboard is cheap. Or you could always opt for 6gv2 or 7G. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
