We can imagine that there are lots of users (including myself) thatr eally like the feel and speed of mechanical keyboards, but are put off by the noise, Matias has the solution. Matias released the Q... Matias Quiet Pro - World’s Quietest Mechanical Keyboard
I'd like to try it out. Is there any chance for a review? btw. proper link: http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/matias_quiet_pro_world’s_quietest_mechanical_keyboard.html
If they made a backlit one where you can choose the colour (with profiles) and an LCD, rolling volume control, like the Logitech G19... Heck, give me a G19 with these keys please!
Well, that's perfect for me, i don't need any lcd, btw, most of the time i use simple keyboard i think one of the cheapest, 3USD new ;D no additional keys or whatever =]
I still can't get over the entrance fees for some of these mechanical keyboards. For $150 my keyboard better make me coffee in the morning and type itself. Then again, it is a luxury item for a reason.
They're probably just cherry MX brown keys, like in the razer blackwidow stealth or many other keyboard options on the market that are cheaper. I have a leopold MX brown tenkeyless 'otaku', I got it for $100 and its a great board I added soft landing pads and its no louder than any generic keyboard here in my office. For anyone wanting a mechanical keyboard, I would recommend the Leopold series boards. They are placed in a medium price range ($100) and come in MX blue, reds, or browns. Before after about a week or two of work with a standard dell keyboard it would lose its feel, after 3-6 weeks it would deteriorate even further, and be nearly unusable after 2-4 months. I compared my typing speed, on a 3 months old dell keyboard I got about 55wpm, I brought out a brand new identical model board and I went up to 70wpm. I get 70-80wpm speed on my leopold and it has not lost its feel after 6 months. In the long term, I believe the mechanical boards are a much better investment than a cheap rubber dome style, the mechanical ones will last years without losing the tactile feel.
Time for a review/compare article between this one and the Razor silent mechanical keyboard.... I want to buy one but where can I find out which one works better AND which one is really quieter? That one and this one : http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-keyboards-keypads/razer-blackwidow-ultimate-stealth/
Geeze, and I thought I posted some crap. I really wanted to have a go at him too. Oh well. The keyboard looks interesting enough, but backlit would be an absolute bonus.
