Got this idea from the amazing Benji

At the moment I have been sticking with this Logitech wireless MK250 which I got for $25 like a year ago and it serves me well (Well alright considering its wireless), but I have noticed that a lot of the time that the keyboard isn't as responsive and yes I know its because its wireless.

But now im trying to move on and looking for something really good to go for, I was contemplating getting a "Razer Maurauder" but I do really appreciate opinions and ideas on what to get

Cheeers guys

Blackwidow (/Ultimate), its pricey as hell and it takes some getting used to, but its a Damn nice keyboard. ^_^
Razer support is generally decent and its lasted me 6 months so far no issues (yet), + you can turn the windows key off n stufdf, idk, im not very knowledgable about keyboards, but this has been great to me so far.
+ it has them clicky noises, so gosu.
Good luck!

I need a keyboard too so will be following this thread ^^

[inFeZa]

I use the Key1 Rollup, Great rubbery tactile feel and very light weight and durable, easy to transport anywhere. You'll be the best in no time!

*Can also be used as a door mat!! AMAZING

If you could buy it for a decent price in NZ, I'd have already bought one.

Well I better rectify this, hey

[ToRSpartaz]

Seriously if you see NZ's pricing its ridiculously expensive. If I get a fair price and manage to rustle up some cash and get a job, ill definately go for one. NZ is like 250-350 for a decent keyboard. Actually I think the Mamba is more then that O.O

From what a lot of people have said, the build quality of Razer is not that great. If you are serious about an RTS keyboard, get a mechanical board with Cherry Brown switches.

My vote goes to the Filco Majestouch 2 after using a membrane switch Logitech Wave for close to five years. Yeah its a bit expensive, but you will not be disappointed in the quality, feel and longevity of the Filco.

Another alternative is to get a Leopold from PC Case Gear because the guy who designed the Filco also designed the Leopold and said so himself that he took feedback on the Filco and implemented it in the Leopold. I've got one and have been very happy with it.

There are currently 2 places in NZ for $200NZD each (or close enough): http://www.staticice.co.nz/cgi-bin/s...MEKA+G1&spos=3

I have had my maurader keyboard for close to a year now and I'm still loving it! Pretty colours
I haven't played any other keyboards other than the flat inbuilt laptop keyboard but I love my marauder

Ive seen your maurauder man ^^ thats why I wanted to get one mate

[|Erasmus|]

The steelseries 6GV2 is another decent mech option. It's not -quite- so ridiculously overpriced in NZ, available from $140ish (http://www.staticice.co.nz/cgi-bin/s...es+6GV2&spos=1).

Wow thats a better price than I had seen.

Good point, I didn't quite read properly. Um I have no idea about getting a Leopold with browns atm. I personally like blues the most anyway so it was never an issue. The other option is to get a Ducky from mechkeyboards.com they are currently out of stock for browns, but will be getting some shortly. My last keyboard was a Ducky which was also a really great keyboard, I just want to start collecting mechanical keyboards and felt like getting a tenkeyless one so I have the Leopold now.

I can vouch for the quality of both boards either way, they are solid boards and very similar in a lot of ways.

[Sc2Clare]

get a qsenn! cheap and good~~~ have a steelseries 6gv2 though, always cant decide which i prefer more

	iVnStinger:	^ What he said!
	Hydroid:	Before I went mech I had a Qsenn, loved it. If I had to use RD again that's what I'd use.
