Hmm, been reading through the first 7 pages but no one seems to mention about Razer Blackwidow ultimate? I needed to read some opinions since I'll probably be getting it soon, and it's my first time getting a mechanical keyboard. sweat.gif any feedback on this? It will be very much appreciated notworthy.gif

In fact, I'll be meeting up this guy that is selling off his 1 month old BWU Mass Effect 3 edition for RM320. Anything I should know about this kb? Or is there any better choice at that price range? hmm.gif

I see, hmm. But I'm kinda tight on the budget tho, and my cheap kb is acting up already so I need a new kb quite urgently tho. sad.gif

Btw, the seller changed his mind at the last minute, saying he wont be selling the BWU to me but keep it as a collection. Not sure thats good news for me or not. lol tongue.gif so now I have another choice in mind, CM Storm Quick Fire Pro, but I am very not sure about which switch to choose, red or brown ? Any feedback for me? icon_question.gif

You should probably test out the keys first, to be on the safe side.

Red switches are very comfortable to press, but sometimes too soft until you don't feel like you are typing on a  mechanical keyboard. Brown is quite similar to red but there is a tactile feeling there. A 'click' feel when you press each key, at least it feels better. Based on my past experience.

Then again, these are all based on personal opinions. Some like the red switch, some like brown. I like both actually, but i favor more to brown, as my current switch as well  thumbup.gif And for the keyboards, you should consider other keyboards too, not only CM.
*
Yea, I read about the reviews on which switch is better, but then again same answer as you - purely on personal liking. But since it will be my first mech kb, so I really not sure which one will suit me - can't try it out coz at my place here, you tell them Ducky Shinging, they will ask you, whats that? Shining duck? Can eat one or not? yawn.gif You get what I mean

you don't even know which switch you like first? Go to the store and test them, or ask someone in here, i remember there's a guy in here that would send you all the switches for you to test but you have to pay the shipping fee. it's just a numpad with different switches. If you have a tight budget, and you dont even know which switch you like, I would suggest you to do more research first.
*
Well, I did do my research, but mostly only by reading reviews on the web, I dont have any chance to try out the kb, the only one I can try here is the Razer BWU - blue switch. I kinda like the tick tack feel (tactile?) when I press it, but then again, a lot people seems to be very anti-razer? blink.gif

Lol. True also. Ducky Shine is one of the most comfortable keyboards I've ever used. I remember paying RM470 for the Red Switch, now it's much cheaper  sweat.gif  Maybe you can try off with Brown first,  there's a tactile feel, but if you like pressing with ease and prefer softer keys, red is good to go. Gamble  icon_rolleyes.gif

A very expensive gamble, that is sweat.gif

BWU are blue switches, they are good for typing, but if you're beside me playing games while using blue switch, I might slap my keyboard at your face. People hate on Razer because of their quality issue, they have a long term history of bad quality control. Conclusion, blue switch is annoying as hell, are you gonna play games at night or anything? Try to find the fella here, he has a numpad of switches and pay for the shipping, and he will ship the numpad to you. Test everything out and see which one you like, don't get a mechanical keyboard just for the sake of luxurious, pick the switch you like the most importantly. If you like tactile feeling, best I can recommend is brown switches.
*
*Ouch! laugh.gif I heard that too, but then again I am living alone, mayn't be a prob, but brown is pretty much on the spot for me too compared to red (price-wise) but really bro, thanks for the suggestion, very helpful notworthy.gif

QUOTE(noobandroid @ Sep 2 2012, 10:27 PM)
that is not tactile, that is clicky sound

well, razer is over-rated already, and quality is not as half good as other brands, perhaps you can have a chance on cm storm, where there are places selling cm products, they might have it
*
I see I see, luckily the seller cancelled the deal. So I guess its good then, well sad to say that urm, not even cm storm sweat.gif I've been to the mall here frequently especially to the computer shop and nope, best they have? BWU, Logitech and dunno-what-name-or-from-where kind of kb. Such a sad place sad.gif oh ya, just remembered, I've tested my friend's SS 6GV2 (I think), so thats mean I've tested black and blue , dont like the black tho tongue.gif

there kaiserreich boss, offers you to test mech keyboard switches. try to talk to him. smile.gif

I may have to decline the offer since I will be needing the kb quite urgently and the mech kb tester will takes some time reach me, no? But kaiserreich boss, if I only play games like HON and CS(not that much) + doing some assignments (report/thesis writings) which one would you recommend? hmm.gif

read this, read about all the comments about it. apparently, it was made by a company which produces bad keyboards, well not bad, but bad quality control keyboards, if 1-2 people hate on it then its fine, but that much to hate on it means something is wrong already.  brows.gif

Lol?? shocking.gif So the maker for the CMStorm QFP is the same maker for Razer BWU ? No wonder sweat.gif I thought the problems that you will show me wont be much of a deal-breaker(was hoping) but phew~~its sure is rclxub.gif

oh, right in the gut cry.gif Well ya, sigh. I've pm-ed Cex asking his price for his Ducky Shine (lingloong ?), but do you think I should consider the CM Storm Trigger as well, it got a nice red lighting tho? (The price difference btween those arent much that it can be ignored)
