Had a chat with Tats yesterday about mechanical keyboards & said I`d post some information about them on the site so here it is for those that don't use one !

I was thinking of getting a corsair k70 I think. Or what ever letter it is. Cherry my red switches.

Anyone got a corsair or red switches?

Razor black widow ultimate with the blues for me there smooth, never tried a corsair deck but should be Sweet there rep speaks for its self

Yeah, my dad has that. I'm not sure about blue switches.

I've just ordered the Corsair K70, i'll let you all know my thoughts of the switches

Hmmm....problem with these is I'd really like to try them out before I buy. I'm not sure how much nicer they could be compared to the chicklet style keys with very short travel that I've grown use to using on mac laptop and now use on my desktop in the form of a Logitech K750. Plus I'm not sure I could go back to using a wired keyboard again now at this point. I love the abilty to just lift up my keyboard and chuck it on a shelf to pop it out the way if I need more space.

Yeah, I get what you mean.
Coolermaster have got a tester with all the different switches that gives you a voucher for their site (full price of the device) which is a neat idea.

In regards to the wireless part, that makes sense too, but I don't use my desk for anything other than my computer, might be different when i move back home. We'll see.

p.s. Loving the new keyboard, mechanical is different, but soo much more satisfying

How do you find it for programming and general typing?

It's not a bad keyboard, really sensitive so I keep hitting keys accidently but I'm sure when I get used to it, it'll be really quick.
