Unicomp, Inc.

IIRC they're just making the current versions of the old Model M's after IBM quit. I've heard good reviews about them though, and if they're anything like the originals I really wouldn't mind having one.

I just bought the Das Keyboard from NCIX this week and so far I love it...

Metadot Das Keyboard Ultimate Model S Mechanical Keyboard - Metadot - DASK3ULTMS1 (8 55800 00117 3)

All of the reviews that I have read about it also say its one of the best on the market. It is very solid, clean looking and best of all the sound that the key's make is like music to my ears.

When I was looking for a gaming/typing keyboard I wanted something that didnt have all the bells and whistels of a typical gaming keyboard... I.E. back lighting, additional buttons, LCD screens etc. I wanted something simple that looked great on my desk but also performed at a high level.

So far I have found this to be the case with the Das Keyboard... Highly recommend it.

^^ Good choice..

I had the Das brown.. but I want to try the Reds out so I sold it and got the Rosewill...

The Das is super nice.. looks and build quality wise..
Untill the gloss finish on the side gets all dirty :okay:

Gaming mode, Windows keys won't work.

Just got the Blackwidow! Is there a way to use media keys without using "FN +#? I find it annoying haha

StylinRed 10-06-2012 02:38 PM

FerrariEnzo 10-06-2012 04:15 PM

Razer BlackWidow Mechanical Keyboard w/ Razer Spectre StarCraft® II Gaming Mouse Bundle $49.99

good deal for anyone who wants to get a good mechanical keyboard..

flagella 10-07-2012 08:23 AM

Fcking sold out so fast.

impactX 10-07-2012 07:55 PM

Gotta watch out that if you aren't getting the ultimate version which has the engraved lettering for the backlighting, the paint of letters of the normal version would come off after extensive use.

twitchyzero 10-10-2012 02:35 PM

logitech finally outs a mechanical board
i wish I had volume roller on my g15...that thing rocks on the g35/g930

Szeto 10-10-2012 04:46 PM

TOPEC 10-11-2012 03:02 PM

Azio Levetron KB528U Clicker Mechanical Sound Feedback USB Gaming Keyboard - Black
$29 with MIR seems pretty good price.

AzNightmare 11-04-2012 01:57 AM

Guess I never really used a mechanical keyboard before...
but hard to imagine how it could be better since I have no problems typing with my current one.

I need to test one out some day.

Once you go mechanical, you won't want to go back... trust me. I'm using a mechanical at home, and when I use the school lab computers, they feel so dull. :p Also, the feel is so different haha.

I must be the most non-picky typer out there.

Last week, someone else at the office requested one of these, so they ended up ordering an extra one.

I decided to take the extra one to try it out.

It's nice, but I don't find that there's anything particularly special about it.

I don't find that I type any better on this than other keyboards, and I would have no problem going back to a regular keyboard.

Looking for one with Red switches.

Anyone know anything about this one/have: Cherry G80-3800 Red Switch MX-BOARD 2.0 104 Key Mechanical Keyboard Black

Or this one/have: Corsair Vengeance K60 Performance FPS Cherry MX Red Mechanical 20 Key Rollover Gaming Keyboard USB


@bobola how long did it take shipping from newegg.ca for this one: Newegg.ca - Rosewill Mechanical Keyboard RK-9000RE with Cherry MX Red Switch

Thanks


EDIT: removed steelseries 6gv2 red edition because of the retarded keyboard layout.

chin3se604 11-09-2012 10:01 PM

considering getting the Black Widow Ultimate Stealth

anyone know how it compares to the normal or 2013 version?

and are there any stores in the lower mainland that carries the Stealth edition?

TIA
