The hell do you need so many K70s for, Chyros? The recycling center's so good with the stocks?

Chyros, recommend me a KERBERD. Don't really want any flashy RGB LED bullshit, just a solid built mech keys with a low actuation point as I have the hands of a 13 year old girl.

ERKER. So do you want lighter or stiffer keys? Linear, tactile or clicky? How important are keyfeel and build quality? Need >2KRO? Mostly typing, gaming or both roughly equally?

Lighter, tactile/linear (death to clicky), happy to pay for better build quality, but would like to see cheaper options if they're ok. Will be mostly gaming with this, I use a separate computer for work but may occasional inspect/edit some code using this. So just light typing if anything, not writing any essays. NKRO doesn't really matter, but having ~4-5KRO would be okay I guess. Don't think I need more than that. THERNKS ERN ERDVERNCE

Get one of those cheap Chinese keyboards. When you're in the middle of a game, it's hard to even notice keyfeel. Weighting is far more important. If you want lighter switches, you're probably look at red switches (Cherry or clones - most clones by now are actually better than genuine Cherries so don't worry) - black will be fatiguing, and brown is just ultra-crap in every way. These keyboards generally come with NKRO and some crappy multicolour monochrome backlight, but just switch that off. They also tend to lack the numpad which most gamers prefer. I'd recommend avoiding major brands such as Corsair, Razer, or Logitech, as you pay many times more but generally get little more or even less. It's not great, but it does precisely what you want it to, and nothing more, and the prices are so low they're basically unbeatable for this sort of purpose. GERD LERK.

I don't need them, Tom's Hardware sent them to me . They look fairly OK for a modern keyboard, but they're massively overpriced and don't actually have anything good or interesting about them.

Too hot. D:

Yeah, you hit the points right there. That's how I feel, but hey...too late to regret now. At least this keyboard seems like it'd last a few more years than my previous ones did.

Oh it'll outlast a rubber dome board comfortably, in all probability. It's not that terrible a board or anything, but it's extremely expensive for what it is, and it's not that good compared to the alternatives.

I hope it doesn't sound arrogant when I say I'm the GREATEST MAN IN THE WORLD.

Hoo!

It's ok

[Major Fuckup]

[Chyros]

what are that

[TheDR]

Current floods in America combined with King of the Hill.

[Destiny]

That's not something to make fun of...

[TheDR]

Look at who posted it and then you'll understand.

[Destiny]

I know right?

[TheDR]

Yeah...

[Chyros]

Mother titfuck!

[TheDR]

Sounds like a bad situation.

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

Depends on your outlook on life.

[Destiny]

Woah, what the hell is going on!

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

Exactly my point.

[TheDR]

Burn all the candles, they can't know we had candles!

[Chyros]

Feck!
