JayTuut Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 i'd really suggest trying blues/browns first in a store since they feel 98% the same before deciding that you like mechanical switches and that you like blues/browns better than reds. But theres no store near me for an hour.... And I dont have a car lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 But theres no store near me for an hour.... And I dont have a car lmao I don't know if cooler master still does this, but they used to offer a key switch tester and then they'd give you the cost of the tester as a credit towards their keyboard.

Only good one i could find was http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Keyboard-Tester-Kit-Clear-Keycaps-4-Key-Switches-Sampler-for-Cherry-MX-1pcs-/401192175340?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368 with black brown blue and red (no green?) But it wouldn't come for a while (like up to a month rip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck thats expensive, and should I contact them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Fuck thats expensive, and should I contact them? Yeah, I'd email cooler master customer support and find out. It's expensive, but like I said, I'd only consider it IF they'll apply the cost of it to the keyboard. Getting the right switch is very important, and since you don't have a best buy type store around, a tester is your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearly Gates Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 If you are still looking for stuff: I have the Cherry Mx-Board. Mechanical (I have the brown switches). What I like about this one is that it's not one of those super distracting multi-color keyboards that change color every time you even look at it and send out huge colorful rainbows when writing on it - it's a simple keyboard covering the basic functions, but the mechanical switches feel really awesome for both gaming and typing (I've written a good amount of essays etc. on it already). If you don't want one of those keyboards with 5000 functions you rarely use, I would really recommend this one. As for the mouse - I still have my old Logitech G500 #cheapo. Reliable mouse with good Dpi (even tho I don't even need many as I have a (s)low setting for precise aiming).. I would again reccomend mouses from brands like Logitech etc., I had the experience that those "gaming" brands, e.g. Razer, Roccat, whatever... are too expensive for their abilities, and not even the best quality in return.
