Mechanical keyboards - anyone using one for ff - feedback please

[Headz]

Been thinking about a mechanical keyboard for general use but interested if anyone used a cherry mx blue switch for ff, very interested in your views.

Tried the qpad mk-80 mx blues in currys and love the feedback and click, but each key seems a bit wobbly, any other makes that feel very good quality?

I did look at a lot of youtube vids but rather have opinions from people using them for ff or any fps type game.

Cheers

Bing I'm the person you're looking for.

Honestly switches are all personal preference. Blues are light enough where it wouldn't make such a big deal on activating keys compared to say blacks/whites/greens along with the bump. I had blacks for close to two years and just bought a Vortex Poker II with reds and my god, its 100x better. Reds are a bit lighter than blues but don't produce the click since it's linear.

As I said it is all personal preference, if you want tactile feedback and want lighter switches go blue or brown. Otherwise I highly suggest reds.

That said, I'm a bit unfamiliar with the qpad mx-80 but looking around I've found good reviews for it. I'm actually surprised qpad makes a mechanical keyboard. What is really nice about that is they sell the various keyboard layouts for different locations.

I'm curious, what are you looking for in a keyboard? Back lighting, macro keys, etc. I could help find one that I know a bit better

OH also, if you can try and find keyboards that default come with PBT keycaps. ABS are garbage and shine/rub off after a few weeks of play.

I've heard good things about this:

But I'm not sure if it has anti-ghosting capability.

If I ever get another keyboard though, I'll probably go for the steelseries:

CM QF are excellent keyboards. Really really good price for them too, I'd p much recommend them to anyone who wants to get into mechanical keyboards. The 6Gv2 is the keyboard that I had for 2 years before this one, it's solid but the only downside is the actual key layout. The really big enter and moved slash isn't that ideal, though it does have a moved windows key which is nice if you have issues with it.

One thing to keep in mind is if you ever want to get different keycaps you wont find a full set for keyboards like the 6Gv2. You'd want a layout like the CM QF (its actual name escapes me). Not a big deal tbh if you aren't looking to do that in the future.

Yeah I much prefer a 101 layout vs an 80 key, but to each their own.
