mechanical keyboard. Heaving gaming use.

Azza666 · 16 Jun 2014 at 02:14

I'm totally new to looking at mechanical keyboards. I'm looking for a good responsive keyboard and I don't really have a budget in mind. I'm big into FPS games so Bf4, titanfall etc. I'd be willing to pay anything really as I got a bit of extra this month and my current logictech keyboard is on its last legs!

Any recommendations based on personal experience would be appreciated as I know that the most expensive isn't always the best! Also I have no preference in manufacturer. The only time I do the preference stuff really with with GPUs where I am firmly in Team Green

That should have been heavy gaming use in the title. Makes it sound like I want to do exercise with my keyboard lol!

Get a ducky. Just pick you switch and colour style

Ducky Shine 3. Easily the best keyboard I've ever used.

The key switches are down to personal preference. If you mainly play FPS's then the black and red switches are good linear keys. They are the same except the reds are much ligher. I personally use the black keys because I kept miss hitting keys on the red with them being so light!

Blue and brown switches have a noticible "click".
