Think I should buy it.
Voted hot for the price, since it seems to be the cheapest available right now
More keys on a gaming keyboard is a bad thing? Since when??
A gaming keyboard without backlit keys is, well, just a keyboard..
I recently got my CM Storm QFR and the pic was US but kbd is UK.
Worth noting the QFR apparently is made by the same OEM as Filco keyboards are so build ought to be better than anything Corsair can do. F-keys are spaced better too.
ARMA 3 would like a word with you.
Actually they're Cherry Red keys, so they don't click.
Browns click softly, Blues click loudly, and Red and Black don't click.
The slightly reduced travel times of MX reds are not going to make anywhere near a significant difference for gaming, just get the switch that you'll like the most.
Other than that this is a great chance to get a mech for not a lot of money.
I tend to try and use it only for gaming, that way I'm not waking up the entire street with my early morning typing
I don't get the hype either, other than playing FPS and other games that have basic back, forth and strafing in combination with mouse control any other game you are much better off with a gamepad.
Using a g15 ATM , would I notice much difference?
Upz, you're right. I haven't used on of the advanced communication mods in a long while.
I wouldn't know, I'm still using the standard keyboards, the plain old boring ones.
It's not the click (audible click anyway). This keyboard actually uses cherry red switches which don't give any audible feedback.
Mechanical keyboards have physical switches instead of the little rubber pressure pads (forget the technical term) used by standard keyboards which gives much more responsive experience when pressing the keys. The build quality on these keyboards is a lot higher than standard too.
I know it probably sounds silly to pay this much money for something that does the same job as something that costs ten times less, but when you are working with computers 9 to 5 or use your computer for anything on a regular basis, you're going to rack up the key-presses.
The above message alone involved 693 keypresses. You wouldn't expect a chef to use a sharp knife or a tennis player to use a £5 racket, so why should we use a cruddy keyboard?
By the way, check out this link for the differences in switch types: mechanicalkeyboards.com/faq…nce
FYI - Blue Cherry MX's are the only ones with a true mechanical click to them, all the others don't have this 'feature' at all. Any noise that comes from them, is made by the stop-point at the end of the travel...(I work for Cherry :-) )
Eh you work for cherry? have they not told you about the cherry mx green switches yet? they also have audible click on mid press but a higher actuation force similar to mx blacks in pressure, granted they are not common but have been around for quite a long time.
After using mechanical boards you really would hate going back to rubber dome membrane for those have not tried could always go to Currys and have a type on one of their over priced ones
For gaming use - some people think that the red switches are too light and they maintain that you really need cherry black (much higher force) for that. I have quite a few mechanical keyboards – cherry red, brown, black, IBM buckling spring, Topre realforce and an alps switching unit and some 3rd party Zalman based thing I just bought. In my experience I really think that for gaming the sure feel of the keystroke and the weight is more useful than the force weighting; the travel of the mechanical switches is usually greater than membrane or scissor switch keys too, this will be a personal preference for gaming.
I think the #1 advantage is to improve typing feel generally; that’s the only reason I get them, I feel less irritation and can high much higher speeds with mechanical keys; and the boss can hear you for miles away so it sounds like you’re really really busy.
You can't tell me you would prefer playing games like Mortal Kombat Komplete, Tomb Raider etc with a keyboard, you might as well go back to playing Manic Miner on a ZX Spectrum.
Most PC players won't use a keyboard for fighting games. You can use pretty much any 360/PS3 fightstick with a PC (I use a PS3 Hori FS3 Pro)
As for Tomb Raider, in my experience TPS' handle better with KB&M than with a controller. It's just easier to aim.
Precisely why I do not understand why people bang on about gaming keyboards, other than for FPS use a game controller is much better....I have tried Tomb Raider with keyboard and its crap. WS AD, cursor keys and programmeable macros for suitable titles, then everything else is better played with a gamepad.
More responsiveness which helps for both typing and gaming (reduced errors in keypresses), a wide variety of Cherry switches for various purposes, better feedback from your keys, and greater durability. Gamepads are best suited for platformers - pretty much every other genre has a more suitable input method (fightsticks, steering wheels, M&KB and flightsticks, for example)
Doesn't really matter anymore since this deal seems to have expired so even with it's great advantages it's not much of a "deal"!
I couldn't live without my sweet FOV button.
Still does not make sense unless you intend using this for typing as well, surely the majority of PC gamers would be better off purchasing a mechanical gaming keypad instead, further limiting wrong key presses.
Yes, Greens too, but greens were designed for space-bar mechanisms only initially and have found their way into full keyboards for some odd reason. The only reason for not mentioning them is that they're not common in mainstream keyboards - certainly from a Cherry perspective, we don't manufacture one keyboard now with a green switch inside, space-bar or not...
