Mechanical Keyboard Survey in MediaVida

macharius · 09 Feb 2016, 17:07

Hello,

I just make a survey in MediaVida (spanish gaming forum) about the use on Mechanical Keyboard, here are the results (first 100 people):

¿Mechanical or Rubberdome?

Brand

Actual using switch

First choice switch

Global preference for a switch

¿ISO or ANSI?

¿Layout?

¿Wrist rest or not?

The survey is in spanish but you can complete if you want and i will update the results:

If you don't understand something just ask here, i will try to translate tomorrow anyway

¿Cómo me he perdido esta encuesta en mediavida? Será porque sólo entro al hilo de los teclados mecánicos...

Interesting to see Corsair & Razer trailing behind CM and Ducky. I did not expect that.

A lot of people were using black Cherries but nobody chose it for a "first choice switch"?

Most of the switches I like do not appear in your survey:

wiki/Alps_SKCL/SKCM_series

wiki/Alps_SKCC_series

wiki/Buckling_spring

wiki/NMB_Hi-Tek

wiki/SMK_Alps_mount

That's probably because the people who buyed Steelseries, and then they liked another switch like brown or blue...

Yes its in the Survey but in the graphics its inside "others" (Otros) for not showing a lot of bars (results) just the 7 seven most used switch.

I'm guessing MediaVida is essentially the Spanish equivalent to Reddit :p .

Yeah and all those are currently produced to be fair, he could add Matias but that's a niche product for people like us. Only crazy people like me prefer 20-30 year old keyboards.

You might not get very representable results from the DT crowd though macharius, many people here like myself are not your average keyboard user.

pcaro · 09 Feb 2016, 21:39

Yes. Mediavida is a forum for gamers

Possibly for the same reason you won't find Hall Effect or Beam Springs there

Basically, you can't really get keyboards with them nowadays unless you dig in the trash.

Chyros · 14 Feb 2016, 14:01

So instead of getting an amazing keyboard for free they buy crappy ones at a premium, makes sense to me xD .

czarek · 14 Feb 2016, 14:04

Well if every trash pile contained vintage keyboards I'd change profession long ago

Yea, but how trash piles does it take to find a beam spring? Lots.

The people in this survey obviously aren't the kind of people who are into beamsprings, though, are they? :p

Reminds me of that Reddit /r/mk questionnaire where Reddit users were asked their keyboard favourite forum and - shock!!! - Reddit came up first, causing R*pster to declare that Reddit was the #1 MOST POPULAR KEYBOARD FORUM... IN THE WORLD.

Muirium · 14 Feb 2016, 20:40

Dude, way to Godwin the thread!

Phenix · 14 Feb 2016, 20:52

pcaro · 14 Feb 2016, 21:03

Ozone is the cheaper not gamer looking here in Spain

That's what my colleagues think the Dutch all sound like :p .

Also, relevant (sorry for the bad quality):

webwit · 14 Feb 2016, 21:37

That's funny, because to the Dutch it sounds like a mad scientist with a German accent.
