My new keyboard rocks!

Re: My new keyboard rocks!

get out, like seriously. I used to have Cherry MX Blue switches on a previous kb I owned and jacking wasn't a problem for me. You must have the switches all wrong... Cherry MX Blue= best for SM due to it having the least amount of pressure to hit. It worked better than any flat kbs I've used (including any logitech, razer or kensington flat kbs).


btw, lol

Actually the Cherry MX Brown (and Red, but those are rare) require the least amount of force to actuate: 45grams. Cherry MX Blue requires 50grams of force.

Re: My new keyboard rocks!

Looks like a decent keyboard, personally I dont like mechanical keyboards for SM/FFR. I gave one a shot for awhile and turned out the only thing it ended up being good for was MA, it sucked for harder songs.

Which kind of switches were they? It all depends on the switches

Oh really? Oh, I got that wrong. I'd still say they're better for SM/FFR because they have the balance between force needed to push and clickiness, the orgasmic click when using Cherry MX Blue switches helps me get better MA for some reason. The reason why I don't like the Cherry MX Brown or Red switches is that they're not clicky, it makes it uncomfortable for me for some odd reason.

Re: My new keyboard rocks!

I really am looking for mechanical keyboards, but I can't decide between Cherry MX Blue, Black and Brown. Yes, I know all the little differences but I don't know what I want. =( Figure I'll end up settling with Blue since it's a good standard.

btw, for you SM players. I got this score when I played on a Cherry MX Blue switch keyboard

I decided against black because I wanted to try the tactile feel that you will only find in mech keyboards. Took brown over blue because I wanted the easiest to press keys, also I didn't desire the noise (don't want to piss off possible future roommates).

I guess the clicky sound helps with FFR though, but I didn't take that into consideration as I bought it for StarCraft II rather than for FFR.

I just grabbed the Razer Blackwidow since I was in bestbuy I think, saw it and decided to give it a shot since people talked about mechanicals being good. It has cherry mx blue iirc, but like I said its not a bad keyboard, just only benefited me in the MA game, I just prefer my laptop keys/slim keyboards for playing in general since I mainly play the harder stuff rather than MA.

I'm starting to lean towards Brown since I'm really only considering the ease of typing (weight required + smoothness of typing). Anyone have experience with Das Keyboard Model S? The professional and ultimate models use Blues while the "Silent" (quieter) model uses Brown. Around the same price as the OP keyboard.

It's funny cause that's the same kb I used for my TOML sdp score and my speed was actually the same lol. Do the flat ones increase your speed or do they stay the same?

What kinda switches do you have? If they're Cherry MX Blue, then you just proved my point.


btw, lol

I have no idea.

Hey, way to read my post, dumbass. I said nothing about the pressure required. I said that they weren't any good for jacking since the key press is registered half way through the press instead of 100% through the press, which is true for every cherryMX switch.

I always have problems jacking due to not lifting my fingers past half and missing a tap. I guess it's not as much of a problem for others as I thought it'd be.

Re: My new keyboard rocks!

I love my ergonomic actually. They keys suck and it doesn't register all the time (kinda old KB), but with straight keyboards my wrists get cramps and achy because it bends them at a weird angle. With ergonomic it has a curve so while it sucks for just about everything, I don't get arthritis. :3

Re: My new keyboard rocks!

Mechanical keyboards are garbage for FFR and SM in the sense that they can't jack very well. They might be absolutely perfect for everything else, but since they register the keypress half way through the press, jacking doesn't go very well.

You don't know what you're talking about lolololololololol
i rape jacks on my mech keyboard
****ing grist jacks are raped

ah, I see what you mean now, my bad bruh. I actually think it's better that way since it prevents missing taps for me, therefore making jacks better for me to hit.
