Hey everyone, I'm rather tired of membrane whathaveyou keyboards, and despise having to retype everything repeatedly. So obvious choice would be to hop on to the MECHANICAL SWITCH KEYBOARD BANDWAGON (it's not a bandwagon, it's a legitimate choice, I know), however I... really know nothing about them.

Well I know a bit having read a few explanations of the key types and it seems perfectly okay for me to settle with Cherry Blacks as they tend to be good for gaming and alright for typing - which is basically what I do. Hopefully I'm right on that front.

Main question: ...What actual keyboard do I get? I've looked at the OcUK selection and I see that there are are "few", with a range of prices, but I can't make heads or tails of what they are and what they mean, and there are very few customer reviews too... The TT eSports MEKA is too small, and everything else around the £100 mark seems a bit samey apart from the differing switches.

...What's a good one? :/
 
My point is I don't see the difference between these keyboards (apart from the ones that say they have different switch types)

Me to. I prob go with the brown switches as they have Tactile feedback but without the really loud clicking noise like the razer black widow has etc.
