They mentioned that they would buy Razer keyboards, and every so often one would be bad. Since there wasn't a clear difference in the specs of the keyboards, I started to rely on the experience of other users.I found a video on YouTube that compared a number of gaming keyboards: also forwarded me a link of everything you'd ever want to know about mechanical keyboards: people on the StarCraft II forum reported build quality problems with the Razer keyboards. I knew that other people liked the Cherry Brown and Cherry Blue key switches, but all the three keyboards had those key switches. I also read about the Das keyboard.When I researched these keyboards on the Internet, I couldn't really tell the difference between them just from reading their specifications.

I considered the SteelSeries 7G because the company supports one of the US StarCraft II pros. At the time, I thought it was expensive for a keyboard.When I read reviews on the StarCraft forums, they would speak highly of the Razer Black Widow.

They had some mechanical keyboards, the SIIG, the Razer Black Widow, and a few others. I was looking at the mechanical keyboards at Fry's Electronics - one of the California-based electronics stores. I knew that I liked typing on "clicky" keyboards, but I never gave it much more thought than that. I had heard that the StarCraft pros really liked certain keyboards, but I couldn't tell the difference between keyboards. I started looking at mechanical keyboards when I started playing StarCraft II. Once your fingers get used to hitting that sweet spot, you will not hear much noise from this keyboard.One last thing, the USB ports on the keyboard are wonderful and work as expected.After three weeks of usage, I am as happy as I could be with his keyboard and would buy it again. The operating position for each key is higher than the reset point. Also, you only get the clicking sound if you push the buttons all the way down to their reset point. To put it in another way, it is NOT loud. Since keyboard noise was an issue for me, I excessively looked into the matter and when I got my keyboard I actually felt it was "silent" compared to what I expected. Also, you will notice that the keys are are recognized more easily without pushing the buttons all the way down.Although the model is called silent, it is not "silent" rather quieter than the other models. The tactile feedback is amazing resulting in easier strokes making your fingers more comfortable. This is not you run of the mill keyboard that is just another packaging of keys in a new design. Also, smudges on the arm wrest and buttons are not getting off easily.After some research and discussions with colleagues, I decided that a mechanical keyboard is the way to go and from there it was easy to reach the decision to get a Das.First thing I noticed when getting this keyboard is a build quality. One of the major issues I had with the Wave after years of usage, is that the buttons are getting harder to push with dust accumulating under them with no easy way to clean the keyboard. I was never picky about my keyboards and as a non-gamer, my main objective was ergonomics and comfort.My trusty Logitech wave was approaching its end-of-life and I started shopping for a new keyboard. I, also, fondly remember the slew of keyboards and mice that came out in the late 90s when computers started to gain popularity. I am old enough to have used the original IBM model M keyboard along with the three button-ed Sun Microsystems mice on some "classic" machines at the local university.
