You can't really judge it till you try it. Like I said, I wouldn't even consider using any other keyboard out there when it comes to gaming.


I would use that keyboard if it were the only keyboard I had hooked up as it has a number pad. The Wolf King Timberwolf doesn't have one. I've never actually tried the Merc but I don't have any problems with my Timberwolf.

Well, you do havbe a point there, and someone like me, I like uniformity, kinda like, you never cant knock an eskimo or inuit for eating raw seal blubber right? I bet you would knock it if you were offered right? Well, im old school, and I bet there are very few of you who actually like keys in certain places to work and type. I used to have like half a dozen 'ceramic' keyboards, and you know what? THey are the best cept the noise. They work, and they were 'standardized'

I use a SteelSeries 6G it's the Ferrari of Keyboards. I did an analysis on another forum because alot of people who look at it wouldn't pay $40 yet alone $145-150 for it. what is so special about it well it has sleeved cables, rubber feet, key changer, 2 sets of key housings which are black and grey, detachable wrest, keyboard housing is constructed of thermoplastic, all inputs are 18k gold platted, superior anti-ghosting features can stroke 8-12 keys at once even on PS/2 and more importantly it holds the title for tactile response time (see below)

standard keyboards have a construction like this Key Housing -> Switch -> Membrane -> PCB the Switches have a shelf life of 1-10 million key strokes. this is the Switch of the SteelSeries 6/7G all the face plates are metal with a plastic housing, to the right is a 18k gold platted connector for optimal conductivity and anti-click spring system which increases shelf life to 60 million key strokes. however I think the Bentley of Keyboards is the Optimus Maximus.

How is it for STRICTLY typing? I need a new keyboard for my mac, and want the absolute best typing keyboard out there. I was looking at either a Deck Legend or a Das Professional, but I haven't decided yet. Have you ever tried a Das, Deck or an IBM Model M? If so how would it compare to any of them.

 

[calvary1980]

the SteelSeries Switches are made by a company called Cherry, Das uses them but what model I dont know Cherry makes dozens of Premium Switches.

the click isn't loud like the old IBM keyboards but a little louder than a standard keyboard it's something I don't even notice anymore, my typing speed has increased the keys them selves have a natural resistance to them probably because of the spring you don't really have to push them down all the way. I haven't tried Das Keyboards but I don't imagine they are that much different.

MAn I loved those....Sigh

you can buy Das Keyboards here they are a little cheaper than the SteelSeries but with the SteelSeries you get the detachable handrest, key changer, extra set of grey keys, extra ports and im pretty sure none of the ports are gold plated.

what do you mean an extra set of keys? You mean like you have 104 extra replacement keys in the box with the keyboard?

Hopefully that Steelseries is good. This is definitely the first time I've bought a keyboard that is worth more than one of my videocards

lol I was looking up the 7G Changes, and I saw this comment.

@SigmundTheSeaMonster:
IBM M series is the way to go. Loud will be the last concern of the person on the end taking the beating...

lol so true. I can't stand the Logitech G15 the entire build cost probably revolves around the LCD and Drivers the Tactile Response is the same as any other Logitech Keyboard plus you have to deal with LCD mods for older games.

in the SteelSeries bundle you get a zip lock bag with 104 additional keys with a key changer. most people set them up like this.

This is for my MacBook Pro which sure isn't my gaming rig, I don't think I need to know where WASD is :bleh: And the IBM Model M would be my choice, but they don't come with a windows key, and it is must for me.
