Should I buy a mechanical keyboard? I've tried some basic Dell and so far they feel "sluggish", I can type faster on my laptop keyboard because I feel like "gliding between keys as I stroke"

Maybe I should try better ones?

@NoNameCode Any suggestions?

Are you looking for workspace mechanical keyboards or aren't to fussed on the space they take up?

I've tried the Corsair K70 and it feels great.

Try and get hold of a mechanical keyboard tester so you can try out the various Cherry switches.

You don't want to buy a K70 to then find out you don't like the travel and feel of the keys.

@drRoss K70 is awesome.

Also, the logitech G710+ is phenomenal too.

@compSci I'm searching just for a comfortable keyboard, not picky on the size (well, only that the don't feel like a pocket keyboard)

@apex my personal favourite is the G710+.

Those two seem pretty nice, I will check them out, thanks!

I work in a small office with an Austrian who eats extremely loud, fork screeching on glass, loud chewing and.. licking. loud licking wtf. So, I bought a mechanical keyboard for work in passive aggressive retaliation. I love the thing! I have one at home and a smaller one to keep with my netbook. I used to feel the same way about the short key travel on laptops, but the satisfying click.. ahh

If you are in tight budget, i suggest you to take CM Storm. There are many switches to be choose from. some manufacturer use industry standard switch (Cherry MX switches). And some manufacturer use their own custom switch (such as Razer)

Before buy one, research about mechanical switches (red,blue,brown,etc).
