KashunatoRwho needs macros and back-lit keys?
steeleseries 6gv2 still the best :)

DanishDevilCherry MX Blacks have zero tactile feedback. They are smooth until they bottom out. Cherry MX Browns have no clickity noise with tactile feedback. Thermaltake really needs to at least know the switches they're putting to their keyboards, although I do praise them for not going with Cherry MX Blues in a gaming keyboard.

Cherry MX-Black switches are linear (non-tactile) switches, these are considered one of the best switch types for gaming. When gaming, having a tactile bump does absolutely nothing because you're going to be bottoming out anyway. So these give you a very smooth feel. The actuation and release points are at the exact same position as well. So games that require a lot of double tapping become easier than on any other keyswitch. However, most people don't enjoy typing on them that much do in part, to their linear nature.
If you're a person who tends to hit a wrong key every so often while gaming, these will be beneficial in that the high actuation force will help prevent many of those accidental presses.

Cherry MX Blue switches are the best cherry switch for typing. The tactile bump can easily be felt, and the resistance is similar to your average keyboard.

Although many people find them just fine for gaming, some don't like the fact that the release point is above the actuation point. This can cause some trouble with double-tapping. This is usually the case with someone who has experienced other mechanical switches before hand.

As a note: this switch actually has a peak force of 60g, it is 50g at the point of actuation. This is due to the design of the Cherry switch itself.

Ross211I've had a really good experience using the Razer Black Widow that has Cherry MX Blue switches. I probably would have gone for this Thermaltake board if it were out when I bought this Razer.

What bothers you with your Razer Black Widow ? Keys getting hit when you don't want them to ?

LAN_deRf_HAWhen are they going to make one of these mechanical boards with slim keys?? It feels so much better once you try it. Going back your fingers trip over the insane height of the old style. More and more people are getting accustomed to it between netbook and laptops anyways, and to top it off the keys already exist they just need to actually put them into a product. Hell since these are targeted at gamers they could even pull some marketing BS like "slim keys reduce press time" or something.
