Mechanical Keyboards Options

[Alioth]

Who's got one and are you happy with it?
If so, which brand and what type of switches are you rocking out?
What is your main use for it? (gaming, typing, etc)

I've been looking into getting one, but still can't decide on what type of switch I'd prefer. I guess I really need to try before I buy.

The links I find reliable ever since Geekhack shutdown is moving: (also if you don't take the time to poke around its your own fault.)

As to what do I currently use:
This is what I'm currently using/have access to:
Keyboard:- DUCKYGK9008 - Brown Switch / Razer Blackwidow Ultimate
I've also got the Steelseries 7G and the FILCO Brownswitch. Im not a big fan of APS Caps cause they tend to shine over. The PBT ones just in my experience are better so its all good.


This is where Ripster ended up for the time being while they work out Geekhack it has a lot of obscure model keyboards if you're interested:

With the AUD doing what its doing... (as this time of writing jumping up and down like crazy so near the end of the year or when the Aussie dollar is high is a good time to invest in a mechanical keyboard.)

http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/index.php - I really liked this one. Eventually I'll get a red or brown ducky shine from them + a wrist rest. (Currently have the Ducky GK9008v2)

Course PC Case Gear has all the Ducky Shines amongst other keyboards. But No Paypal. So yeah.

These guys do special mechanical keyboards made to order so I think you can select your switches on each key not sure:
