Hi! i'm new to mechanical keyboards, and i'm looking to get one for gaming (CS:GO) I was wondering why is the Corsair K65 mechanical keyboard not reccomended on this thread? I've heard alot of good reviews about it, but no mention here on this thread! D:

QUOTE(quovadis123 @ Jan 26 2015, 05:08 PM) From what I seen, from Topre, Cherry, etc etc membrane keyboards all good reviews. Hardly there are bad reviews on a product. So weird huh? Thanks so much for the reply, and sorry for my late one, was on campus and became really busy with work/studies to even surf lyn  So, can't depends on the reviews alone, because those reviewers just test the keyboard for couple of minutes, then spend most of the time writing and taking nice pictures. For K65, the layout is bad, not even standard. See the bottom row...: 1.5x(Ctrl) 1x(Win) 1.25x(Alt) 6x(spacebar) 1.25x 1x 1x 1.5x (ctrl) The 6x spacebar is very rare, not common, and hardly find a replacement if your keycaps broken or something. So, since we all buy mkb for long-lasting and good typing feel.. Just avoid this keyboard. Or else, you will alone in the dark by getting it. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Not really need to mention the high rate of LED died prematurely. The first point: non-standard layout already kills the keyboard.   so the main reason you do not reccomend the keyboard is due to the lack of customisation? The K65 is not backlit, and I am looking for an entry level mkb to game on the go between campus and home. I do not own a desktop computer, so the 80% layout seemed to make more sense to me. I also do not plan on going to any dark cc's to play anytime soon, so that is why I decided not to go for a backlit version. Also, keycaps are expensive! a quick survey of LYN and its keycap pricing shows that it's about 1/3 the price of the actual keyboard! (the K65 is about RM3xx, and the caps are about RM100 for full keycap set!!) so I don't think I can splurge on the keycaps just yet After all this would you still recommend corsair? or would you still prefer another brand such as the ducky zero series? |
