Well your typing skills is where the performance will differ.
The different switches are really just feedback and actuation force.

Where's the best place to get different keycaps from in the UK? Anyone know if they will fit on all keyboards? I'm a bit of a keyboard noob tbh
Keyboard co.
Cant link to the shop direct, but it is in my review of the key caps here - http://www.gamersedge.co.uk/2012/10/qwerkeys-key-caps-review/
tempted to get - UK Filco Majestouch-2, Tenkeyless, NKR, Tactile Action, Keyboard
been looking for a keyboard for a while now and that's the only one i like the look of really, anyone got one? going to look around for a cheaper one, that's £114 from where I'm looking atm, is it possible to get coloured keycaps to put on it?

I have the Ninja with the keypad and it's AWESOME! 
I only know of 2 places where you can buy them in the UK and the price is the same wherever you go
Expensive keyboards but a pleasure to type on and guarantees safety in the event of the coming zombie apocalypse

Spacebar has kind of broken on my blackwidow
The bit of plastic that holds the metal bar to the spacebar has broken off on the right so if I apply pressure only on the left of it it doesn't work and pops out...
After a bit of google this seems to be a common problem. The plastic is very fragile.
Going to try and write a begging email to Razer and see if they will send a replacement.
Can still use the spacebar. But it is a slight pain for playing games as I have to make sure I am pressing it in the right place.

Really loving the MX browns so far. Makes my attacks in League of Legends seem more powerful!
I was worried since I had no chance to try the keys out before, that they'd be insignificantly better than rubber domes for a hefty sum.
But they're so nice, worth every penny.

That's awesome.
I've gone from a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate to a 7G, back to the Razer for a bit and then onto a Filco Ninja Tenkeyless MX Brown.
I think I'm going to get a Ninja one with blues instead, I just seem to prefer the blue keyswitches.

Why are the keycaps so expensive? I have seen a set for £75 without the number pad keycaps, I can buy a full keyboard for less than the plastic caps that must cost about £1.00 to make
It's called The Great Keycap Swindle, my friend.
I've been thinking about getting a new keyboard. I've was looking at these for the dvorak and efficiency.

Are there any good mechanical ones that have dvorak. Are mechanical ones better than the above?

never even heard of a dvorak and not sure if I would want to use one, they look really hard to learn to use I'm tempted to go for a us keyboard and that would take some getting used to with the smaller enter key and @ changed around, but could never use that o.o
I'm tempted to go for a us keyboard and that would take some getting used to with the smaller enter key and @ changed around, but could never use that o.oI've been looking at getting a mech keyboard, I was looking at the Corsair K90, but I believe it has red switches, and I would prefer blacks for the whole more pressure thing. I'm not 100% on the benefits of each, but it's definitely going to spend most of it's time for gaming, just wondering if anyone had any suggestions, rather put it in here than start a new thread. Cheers for any advice chaps.
