    For that kind of money you could get yourself a terrific mechanical keyboard from someone like Leopold, CM Storm, Rosewill or Corsair, which I feel would be a much better investment.

    Many people say you'd want red or black Cherry MX switches for gaming, however on that particular point I have little advice to offer: I'm primarily a typist and naturally prefer blues and browns.

    With emphasis on the mechanical bit: if the keyboard uses Cherry MX switches the keys will behave the same regardless of the brand name on the box.

    I wont really be able to use a mechanical keyboard since I'm usually up till 4 AM gaming and I dont want to wake anyone up. Right now im using a shitty logitech keyboard and im waking people up with it ~f12 So I just got the chiclet style keyboard from razer.

    Don't use Cherry MX Blues and stop bottoming out or invest in some o-rings to put around the stems of the switches.

    My keyboard is $3 from ebay :) ; Did it improve my gaming? no. Will I get more girls if I get a better keyboard? Maybe.

    I've been using a stock Logitech keyboard for years. Lately, I've been thinking about getting a newer keyboard. Perhaps one with red or blue Cherry switches. Still deciding over the two.

    edit - not sure why I wrote model m and not logitech.

    I use any keyboards as long as I feel the alphabets, as long as it's not broken and as long as I can type fast with it. No big deal.
