My MX cherry blue switches sounds less clicky as before after a few months of usage.  Just curious anyone else share similar experience.

Matias Quiet switches are great! Nice feedback and quiet operation.  ;D
If you type A LOT I would look at the Ergo Pro -> http://matias.ca/ergopro/pc/
It's expensive, but much cheaper than building an ergoDox.


Thanks: the Quiet model now goes to the top of my list of potentials

A WASD with Cherry MX Clears should be on that list too. Easily the best MX switch for typists.

Ruled out by the YouTube "listening test."

I don't do that much typing (my wife might beg to differ, but then she says that she doesn't make that many phone calls  :)p14 ). It's pretty-much limited to natter-natter-natter on forums these days. I'm quite happy with my Compaq: It is Mrs G that isn't.  p:0

Just ordered the logitech mx master mouse, looks like the old MX which i liked.  currently using the g700s so looking forward to a return to the MX form.

not for gaming, just general use and spreadsheet productivity.

Affordable, but decent mechanical keyboard?  My Razer Black Widow has a dead key and it's driving me crazy.

Go.

Do you know what kind of switches to you like?  Gaming, typing, or both?

I'm partial to bucking springs for typing but gaming wise they're so-so

Nope, I have no idea.  I've been happy with the Black Widow, but don't know enough about various switches to have a preference.

If it makes a difference, my PC gaming days are behind me.  I haven't touched Starcraft in ages, and I think I can officially give up on a new Age of Empires game ever coming out.

Im gonna assume that your BW is a cherry mx blue. If you like how that feel, the cmstorm quickfire (and its variations) are very reliable and not too expensive. I actually have two of those, and have been using them for years now. They're very nice for typing if that's what you're mostly going to be doing.

Here's a page explaining some of the major types of switches.

I don't have much experience with other switch types besides messing around with display models at stores and not liking the feel as much, but personally, I like buckling springs because they are the only mechanical switch where the tactile and audible feedback correspond to the exact moment the switch actuates.  I find it especially useful for typing passwords.

They were originally used in old IBM keyboard such as the Model M.  AFIK, you can only get new ones from Unicomp.  They basically sell updated versions of the original IBMs.

I had one, but lost a key to a spilled drink so I'm wait for another to come in on order.
