![]() My gaming experience has changed - feeling more feedback from the keyboard is awesome but it doesn't make you a better gamer. My typing speed has increased, I've managed to do a bit of touch-typing (I don't find it easy really, a bit of memorising needs to be done too since the bumps are not really that feelable - my brother tought it was a linear switch at first), though I find myself hitting a lot of wrong keys on this keyboard which is probably because my cheap membrane didn't have a standard layout and I think the keycaps were wider. What i would love to have seen is dedicated media keys, which would too be against the minimalist design, but really i don't really use those key combos since I have to use 2 hands for that. From using the G19 I'd like to have at least a single macro row, but i understand the design of this keyboard so i don't really care (maybe a future DIY project tho), I'm not interested in the backlight since I don't play in dark and don't look at my keyboard anyways for me backlight is just a bling-bling to show off to your friends. The tactile feedback is different, the keys are lighter to actuate, and the keyboard is NOT silent - quieter they are but compared to the G19 or my cheap one they are louder (not very loud though). Personally I like browns better, but don't believe that bullshit that browns are silent blues. So cherry mx browns - first time I typed on them I was glad that I didn't buy blues. I couldn't afford to buy a blue switched keyboard - too loud as i like to game late at night. I had typed on a mechanical keyboard before, but it was a cherry mx blue keyboard. First of all the G19 isn't mine so don't attack me for buying such an expensive membrane. I have extensively used cheap membranes and a Logitech G19 which is probably as highend as it gets for membranes. ![]() And repeat rate adjustments (PS2 ONLY) - 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, in my opinion this is useless when gaming. There is a function key with which you can use the media key combos - Play/Pause, Stop, Back, Forward, Windows key lock, Volume mute, Volume up, Volume down. This keyboard has no backlight (i always use frontlight, my eyes get tired when playing in dark) There is a CM Storm logo on the back, nothing glowing in the face of you (i'm looking at you RAZER offering non-backlit keyboards with a glowing logo). There are no logos visible looking while typing. It is VERY minimalistic, especially if you were to change all the keycaps to blacked out ones. This keyboard is probably as small as it gets for full keyboards with the proper layout. The layout is very standard - long shifts, long enters, F1 above 2. Thankfully the keyboard material is not glossy, it's my personal favorite - soft touch. It's heavy too, probably due to the steel plate in this keyboard, you could probably do some serious damage if you were to whack a burglar in your house with it. This keyboard seems to be built with raging in mind when you get killed.
