You know this issue recurs on some forums for me and I never understand it. A forum is a place for a discussion and expression of thoughts. Just because most people don't do it, what's wrong if someone chooses to exercise that? I tend to be more in-depth and thorough about most things. I know all th...

So I bought a CM Storm QuickFire with blues about two weeks ago, I've been using it and started out loving it. Then I grew to just kinda like it. Then it started to annoy me, and finally I unhooked it and put my Logitech G15 back in. Interesting things I've noted - my G15 feels DISGUSTINGLY mushy no...

I was kind of thinking this, I know for a fact I'm bottoming out the keys as I type. Will this be something I grow to stop doing as I use it more, or do I need to make a conscious effort to not press the keys so hard to not do this anymore? I was kind of messing around on my old Model M that I don't...

So I just got my CM Storm Quickfire with the Cherry Blues the other day and I'm liking the clicky clacky and the feel for the most part, the only thing I've noticed is that when I use the shift key (I know I use improper form because I always use the left shift, I did try the right shift key for the...

I rechecked and apparently just since the other day Amazon now has the Quickfire with blues for $66 now with free shipping so I'll go that route - but good to know about Mechanicalkeyboards.com.

So I'm looking to buy my first Cherry mechanical keyboard, the Cooler Master Quickfire with the blues. This Mechanical Keyboards website had the best pricing and allowed returns if you don't like it, and since I've only ever used buckling spring and black alps I'm a bit nervous how I'll like the key...

Thanks Rindorbrot, that's exactly what I was looking for. I tried a bunch of searches but had no luck finding anything like it. So the only slight issue is that those do not have a window notch for the LED - is that something I can modify myself? Maybe involving a dremel tool and perhaps some clear ...

I thought of the Model M spacesaver, I have a full size Model M from '86 though sadly totally missing a few keys entirely. Have you checked the price on a spacesaver lately? They're $150-$250+ on eBay, way out of my desired price range - I'd probably go with something Topre based if spending that ki...

I've seen that Poker but was not a fan of no function keys, or the cluster of keys (Home, Insert, Del, etc.). I do want a more compact keyboard than my current G15 so I can put the mouse next to it, but I don't need a micro sized keyboard. I know they make the Pure and Race which offer more of those...

Ah, thanks for the info. So I suppose 3rd parties are my only option for something this specific? Just curious for future reference, which keyboards have more readily available customization to them? I'm staying under $100 for this first mechanical keyboard but I won't rule out ever spending more mo...

Only problem is I'm trying to get a tenkeyless, which I've never seen a version of in that style. I've kind of expected I'll just have to get used to the caps lock key, but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask if anyone knew of a stepped caps lock key to replace it with (I'm pretty set on the keyboard be...

Hello everyone, I'm thinking of buying a mechanical keyboard. My first was an ABS M1 which had black alps, which I actually hated compared to my membrane keyboards (Did not like the stiff keys and made far more typos than with a normal keyboard) which I long since sold. I'm thinking of getting a key...
