Since my g11 which is like 6 years old (I got it used from my friend when he got new kb) started acting up, I think its time to get something new. I don't have much of a budget so mechanical stuff is out of the quesiton.

I like big deep keys (not shallow like notebook) and kb must have some way of volume control for windows.
Backlight is welcome but not a must.

Also - some mouse pad for g400 please ! Embarassed

Look up the Coolermaster Storm Quickfire. It's a mechanical but it's cheaper than every other one and uses the same OEM that Filco uses, build quality is amazing. I paid 80 bucks brand new for mine.

See if it's out of your budget.

It is still al little bit expensive but much cheaper than other mechanicals. But it doesnt have numpad and no volume control, so that's not for me I think.
And if I would go for mechanical, I would want clicky tactile switches. Which are in quickfire?

how do You like it overall ? (I remember Your topic)

OH, 10 dollars more and you can get the pro. I mean this is also US prices so I dunno what it'd cost for you

Overall, I always thought mechanicals were overrated as hell and never understood it. I loved my razer lycosa for what it was. Decided to give some Cherry browns a try. Loved it, love the clicking sound, love the pressure of the keys, and to compare it to solid build, ti's like a god damn nokia. I went back to type on some other random rubber dome/switch keyboards at friends houses and it was just awful. It was like pushing my fingers down into a bunch of nope.

thats what everyone says about those. Damn.
Can You measure what height that keyboard have in its thickest point ?

I have this sliding shelf and my g400 already don't fit in there. g11 sits fine tho.


that way or another, That keyboard is prolly out of the question, at least for this month as I have about 120euro leftover from my salary this month

I recommend the Cooler Master CM Storm QuickFire as well. I got mine stealth (labels on front instead of top). Cherry Brown..Excellent keyboard. Paid $50 US after rebate.

Damn you lucky US guys Razz. I've read somewhere that Filco has patent for side printed key caps in UE, thats why stealth are not available here, which would force me to get one from overseas, and that would result in almost twice the price (shipping + import charges). That's why I ordered Quickfire Rapid yesterday and sooner or later im gonnna mod it myself Wink

It is a marmite kind of design. Good board though. Not a fan of mechanical boards myself.
