Hi guys. Recently been developing an obsession towards mechanical keyboards. Problem is I don't know which switch is for me for sure. I've went to lowyat and played around with the switch tester but I'm still unsure.
So I thought it would make sense to just choose a keyboard with cherry mx reds first as I play a lot of fps games. But if later I find out the switch is not right for me, I can just buy another keyboard. So this means I should probably avoid the expensive ones for my first mech kb right? Any problems with my way of thinking or any better alternatives to figure out which switch to choose? Also I'm looking at a tkl since I really like the idea of not extending your shoulders(better ergonomic) and the supposed benefit to fps games. PS: I only got 1 friend with a mech kb and I don't think he will lend it to me to try out haha. |

QUOTE(davey.havok @ Mar 5 2016, 04:09 AM) There's nothing wrong at all with that way of thinking. Haha. Far from it. It's just that the usual recommendation of getting switch testers really doesn't do it for me. I'm the type of guy who needs long hours and the full experience to decide something. The only thing I got from playing around with mech kbs at shops is that all of them feel awesome. I can also read all about the different switches but that won't tell me how good it would feel.A lot of people, especially those stingy or cheapskate ones, will call you out for your approach. In their minds, if you don't buy the correct switch on the first attempt, it means you are a spendthrift who didn't do your homework properly. But if you can easily afford a second (or third) keyboard, this trial-and-error method is probably the best. It's what I practice and I firmly believe MKB enthusiasts should never have only 1 board. Many important lessons are learnt through the process of comparison. Besides, you can always sell off what you don't need at a later date. Btw I like how you say "I can just buy another keyboard" like money is not an issue Money certainly is an issue, escpecially with today's economy but I guess this is the solution for me. |
