** The Official OcUK Mechanical Keyboard Thread **

Well the cat spilled a whole bottle of beer over my saitek cyborg v7, it still works after having a few days to dry out however, it looks like i've been on a 2 week bender when i type,half the keys dont correspond to the letters coming up on screen, time for a new keyboard, i've decided to go mechanical this time.

i'm currently stuck between these.

Qpad mk80 (blue switches)
Filco Majestouch-2 (Brown or Blue)

Brown or Blue, Brown or Blue, Brown or Blue, Brown or Blue...:(
love the simplicity and "un-inyourfacedness" of the Filco however the bright lights of the MK80 keep drawing me in:o argh what to do, what to do.

i hate choice sometimes, have to make the decision before monday, so plenty of time to think it over at least.

I thought it must be from there. So going by the price you went for the 40A durometer versions. ;)

So you would recommend getting them?

Yes that's right I went for the 40A ones.

If you are like me and bottom out a lot and find it a tad loud then they are worth getting. The o ring dampers do make quite a difference esp. if you bottom out the keys when you are gaming. No more clack clack noise of the plastic hitting the switch.
I still got some left (I left my numpad side unmodded) If you trust me over your details I can mail some out for you to try (about 10ish o rings) so you can see if you like them first before you commit to buying a whole pack.
Just make sure you have a key remover, you don't want to damage your switches.

Have you got the key remover tool??? You don't want to end up damaging your switches.

negative, however, looking at the tool i just didnt see the need, it will take 5 minutes to knock something together with bits and bobs i have lying about, it dosnt look like a complicated bit of kit;).
 
I've heard this duck noise on four seperate occasions now. Again just a second ago. I cannot figure out where it is coming from and it only started since I got my ducky keyboard =/
