    Hi guys, i want to buy a new keyboard, but i just cant decide. I have been looking on the logitech g19s and the razer blackwidow chroma. I am playing csgo and arma 3 just so you know.

    Most keyboards are fine really, but you can always go for a £100 one that has leds.

    You fucking liar. Your name doesn't say "csgo_and_arma3_gamer".

    Sell your PC and buy a console, you muppet.

    I think they're made for professional "typewriters" though, not gamers

    I use mine for both, blue switches, does the job pretty nice once I got used to how fast they register strokes.

    I use a CM Storm with brown switches. Not had a problem with it so far, for either gaming or typing.

    Are there any good but cheapish mechanical ones out there? I don't mind if it's a shorty/numberpadless one.

    The Cherry G80 is okay for the price, though don't buy it off OCUK, it's a tenner less on Amazon.

    My Razor BlackWidow was really nice. I'd still be using one if I hadn't chucked half a glass of wine over it.

    @csgo_gamer I got a model s professional with blue switches. I had mad money at the time and figured that if I was going to splurge, it made sense to splurge on something I spend such a huge amount of time using.

    I've got a Filco Majestouch with brown cherries (I've not popped a brown cherry yet ;) ), and I think I might have been better off with blues. I've an old Dell with ALPS switches which rattles like hell when I type on it, but I find myself bottoming out a lot on my brown switches so the noise I hear is the keycap striking the metal base. I'd have to try some blue cherries to find out if it's the lack of noise that makes typing on browns clunky, or whether I just need heavier switches.

    I bought one of these Corsair K90 mechanical keyboards and if I'm honest, it's way too sensitive for my needs. That's Cherry Reds though!

    Playing on it is very nice, but I'm just not that far up the whole 'competitive/hardcore gamer' ranks for it to bother me.

    It ticks every box I need to tick, but it's all a little bit overkill.

    Just out of interest does the different colours you all refer to (brown, blue, red caps) actually relate to different sensitivity or something else?
    Genuine question, just interested to know.
