Mechanical Keyboard.

Back lit keys aren't gimmicky, they just look plain awesome. A Big orange Esc key however makes me wanna be sick :S

Even though i do like the idea of having no symbols or letters on the keys.

I didn't say that back lit keys are gimmicky if you are referring to my comment. The Esc key on my keyboard is actually red, you are not seeing a true reflection of its colour.
 
I could never get myself a Qpad keyboard just because the ugly logo is plastered all over it.

I've got myself a Das Keyboard Ultimate (blank key version) on order. After much research I found it was the one being recommended / praised the most. Obviously I can't say first-hand how good it is, as it hasn't arrived yet, but it might be worth having a look at one before you make your decision.
 
I got coloured caps for my Filco as well, red esc and red wasd :p Should fit with any keyboard using Cherry switches really. I also realised when I was replacing the keycaps there's a little round space to fit an LED in... *modding ideas flow into head*
 
My favorite boards!

Left: Filco Ninja ANSI (Brown Cherry)
Right: Realforce 87U Silent (Variable)

I prefer having backlit keyboards, hence going for the Razer Ultimate, but a lot of the other backlit keyboards i'm seeing, they look really clunky and just not simplistic to the kind of style i'm going for.

I may wait a while and get the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Stealth for that bit extra.

Hm?

edit.

I do like that one on the right, that is really nice.

Did you buy a keyboard in the end?

I've just started looking into them and am bewildered by the choice - filco, wasd,das ,leopold, steeleries, razer, ducky...everytime i find one i like, i seem to find another brand!
 
Hey everyone,

Newbie here..but this thread caught my eye.

I'm looking for a keyboard with the following features:
1. Mechanical
2. not too loud (i.e. not blues)
3. Good for gaming AND typing
4. Backlit - in blue.
5. UK Keyboard layout (ISO)

As far as I am aware the RAZER Blackwidow ultimate stealth would be the perfect choice for me, but it's not available in a UK edition??? Yet?

I've tried contacting Razer about this several times and they are utterly useless...

All I want to know from them is IF it's going to be available in a UK edition. If it is, I will hang on and get that, if not, I'll have to look elsewhere.

I'd like to get Razer as I like their style and I have a razer mouse already.

Incidently...separate question: I have a Razer Abyss mouse..it's great, but even on the slowest mousewheel scroll setting it's still too fast to use in Windows? Any one got any fixes for this?

I have the Qpad MK80 and love it. It meets all of you requirements except for the switch type as it uses blues. I am not certain, but I think it may be possible to get this KB with different switches, though you might have to ask Qpad themselves?
