logitech highend keyboards still use rubberdome .....

razer highend now also have mechanical keyboards 
that said, having tried the razer black widow, i feel that there are better brand alternatives that has similar features for better value, e.g. Ducky Shine 3 or others ......

i guess what you should be stating first is your budget. If the budget is not high enough, you may need to just get a rubberdome. but i wouldn't recommend spending much on so called highend rubber dome keyboards for gaming. Just get the cheapest reliable rubberdome, if your budget is below that of a budget mechanical keyboard.

Cause no point really, wasting money otherwise    that is my honest opinion.

what type of feature are you looking at a mechanical keyboard for it to be a "gaming" keyboard?

What make you pening? Gaming in term of? Macro key, NKRO etc? Or you just need a mechanical keyboard for gaming? If you don't need those macro etc, get a standard layout mechanical keyboard.

Not sure if you need or just want it. Then no choice, you only got Razer, Logitech or Corsair. Not sure if got LCD  background.

May I know why dislike Ducky? Due to Duck, too simple, too mainstream, unknown reputation?

ducky zero shine, blue LED + razer Deathadder 3.5g, both blue LED, fits well 
but the sensor prob of razer DA made me sad 

ealt since u want LED, i'd prefer u ducky, but u dun like it's look, owai  wait other mkb experts help u beh, im newbie too 

This is exactly the same response when I come across a new guy venturing on a gaming keyboard or a gaming mechanical keyboard. In their mind, its like 80 percent they believe that ordinary keyboard isn't fit for gaming and another 50 percent of the bunch thinks that gaming keyboard must look 'gaming-ish'...

No doubt some of that impression are being portrayed by Logitech as early as their G15 lines then comes Razer and steelseries and Roccat and the most recent Armageddon. Thanks to companies like that, newcomers usually have a set of opinions which they already have in their head when i comes to buy one. Sales guy at Lowyat plaza shops or other computer shops actually no need to persuade them to buy Razers or Logi or Roccat because of this because they know when a customer comes and ask about this so-called gaming keyboard, its actually a matter of their budget and what 'nice' things the sales guy have to say about the product.

Ok, some history... I worked b4 at LYP and other computer shops for around 7 years on and off....My job is technical although some of the time I have to do sale in front. I can take back home whatever keyboard I want as long as my boss (shop owner) approves and potong my gaji. Before mechanical keyboard, I have had G15, Roccat Arvo, Lycosa, Tarantula and a couple more keyboards which in the end I sold off or dead after warranty....The only keyboard which is still with me is a Tenkeyless, Non-backlight, boring looking pink keyboard from Filco Majestouch 2 series. Gone are all the overrated, gaming brands keyboard. Now my daily driver is a Filco...the boring nothing special Filco.

Ducky can be 'considered' as the Razer of MKB with its special keys (shortcut and media keys) along with its backlighting functions which can be set to a number of presets. What it doesn't have is Razer gimmicky features and poor reliability...When I was still with consumer grade computer sales, razer blackwidow almost 50% sold will come back with numerous issues and problem. Thats not a problem as the warranty for Razer product is quite ok. But what bothers the most are the parents (daddy or mommy) which bought a RM300++ keyboard for their kids and their attitude when send back to claim for warranty....Bla bla bla this keyboard no good lar, expensive but koyak also and the list of dissatisfaction goes on and on...son was like keeping quiet not able to say anything. Daddy was expecting too much; perhaps thinking that the Blackwidow Ultimate was assembled by god himself.

Ok to make story short, format your brain regarding so-called gaming keyboard. and accept the boringness of the mechanical keyboard design. in the end, its not your eyes that does the typing is the fingers...trust me, your eyes will be mostly looking at the screen to see for wrong characters in 10fastfingers.

ducky shine series OEM from taiwan, ducky zero series OEM from china, iinm. 

as still, i'd recommend u ducky boards (for ur LED backlit option), not razer fanboy when talks about MKB if not, then ask some experts here search from taobao for you about those MKB.

i got mine from Robotica Gamers @Subang 1, with a good price during sales , but for testing... i only know heavyarm D: where's your area? try post here maybe others know where yg dekat can let u test. i nerd no car dont know train, so i just ordered blue switches and get used to it

haha, we don't recommend "gaming" layout keys nor keyboards that is rebranded from a cheap board and slapped with a higher price tag.

our recommendations are keyboards that is longer lasting.
that is to say, standard layout (so that when your keycaps shine so badly or due to some mishap, it broke, or simply because u feel bored of the colour or look, you can EASILY FIND and purchase after market keycaps and put it on to give your keyboard a refreshing new look)
and paying the right amount for the right quality.

If you have no interests in quality, after market modification and keycaps replacement and long term use.
You can go ahead with Roccat, Armaggeddon, Razer or other similar gaming brands.

razer blackwidow ultimate!
get the Mass Effect edition!
I love it
