I am thinking of getting a mechanical keyboard.
The Razer Blackwidow that ocuk stock is well priced, but I am keen to minimise the noise, so I think it's clicky blue switches, rule it out for me.
From reading around I think I need to look for a keyboard with either brown or black switches.
It seems very difficult to locate reasonably priced mechanical keyboards. I have seen the Filco majestouch recommended a few times, but that retails around £115.
The steelseries 6gv2 is available for ~£70, which I think is a bit more reasonable. It has black switches and I have heard that they aren't great for typing with.
I was wondering if anyone here has the 6gv2 or the 7g. If so how do you find it for general use/ typing etc?
If anyone as tried keyboards with both black and brown switches, would you say it is worth forking out an extra £45 to get a Filco with brown switches?
