Fuckn you ****s are crazy!

I'm on around 50 on Astronauts and 70 on the test instructions and have always considered myself to be a pretty fast typer! (7 years XP as a DB developer!)

I just got one myself. The exact same one, to be precise.

Loving it. I was originally soured by an impulse buy of a Razer blackwidow.
Without going into detail it had reminded my why I hated Razer products and put me off of mechanical switches all together.

After reading around and still seeing how people love their keyboards, I decided to give it another shot. I originally wanted to try browns, as the 'tactile' feedback you get was noticeable after returning to a $10 rubber dome Logitech keyboard (Which i'd still take over the blackwidow anyday). Alas, red caught my eye. Softer than black was something I thought could be interesting as black switches had people mentioning fatigue.

Anywho, it arrived a couple days ago and i'm loving it. It doesn't have un-nesssisary and cumbursome macro buttons like the blackwidow. It looks a great deal nicer AND the keys profile (height and placement) is much, much better and made for a nice transition from my Logitech Y-SU61.

Do you play any games Tetsuma? I'm leaning towards cherry browns as I type a lot but also game. I'm led to beleive that browns are a good choice for this whereas Reds are more so for typing.

Keen to hear how the reds go with games.

I hear reds are more for games, whereas blues are the typing ones.
But I had blues and they were fine for both. About to buy something with blacks to try them now...
