The general consensus from previous threads seems to be that red = max stamina and black = max speed, so either one of those should be fine.

As for pricing, at least where I'm from, not sure if the quickfire can be obtained for the equivalent of <£55. Other cheap mechanical keyboards with cherry mx are rosewill, and corsair k60.

perhaps i overestimated you guys to be able to recognize that my gross misjudgment of currency conversion was done in jest.
i shall refrain from future attempts at humor.

Like the first thing in google from following that search: http://www.amazon.com/CM-Storm-QuickFir ... B00A378L4C


Side note: I got completely psyched out looking at sanguisinva's avatar and then Narill's one right after the other earlier.

If I were to tell you that there is an Amazon site for the UK, would you be able to find it? Or would you need someone to post the link?

I don't see why being from the UK would make it so you can't use amazon.
Especially because in product details...

I got a quickfire tk with cherry reds for about 80USD (same keyboard cookiezi used before he got banhammered for being BM). It's a little awkward for typing on at first since it's compact but it has backlit keys and a few other nice functions and it's not too far out of your price range (probably one of the cheapest quality mechanical keyboards you are going to find without dropping to a numpad only).

Also, Yes, I know, unbelievable that I have to actually touch the keyboard. Madness, just madness, I know, but we all can't be as good as cookiezi
rrtyui and force our mind to press the keys.
Bro, rrtyui had to play big black thousands of times to get his first fc. Cookiezi had it on the 40th try. Shouldn't even compare them like that. SnowWhite is at least starting to be comparable in the DT department these days. Idk why rrtyui is still the go-to for people these days... I mean sure, if you want to champion someone who is known for bashing their head against a keyboard until everything lines up right then yeah, rrtyui is really good at that and has become a good player as a result of countless repetition. There are much more consistently amazing players though.

Professionals practice their performance countless times before going live.

What's your point?

Yes, I'm sure everyone knows who the better player of the two was. I think he was trying to suggest which best player was still around. And the only other arguably better player than rrtyui other than cookiezi is niko, and even that is debatable.

I'd argue SnowWhite or Sayo to be the best unbanned players at the moment purely based on consistency. Rrtyui might be able to match their scores but it takes him significantly more plays to do so. If you look at their historical section on their profiles you'll see SnowWhite's gets down to ~400, Sayo's ~250, meanwhile rrtyui is sitting around 600. Of course this doesn't give us the best picture of some of their top scores since most of those were achieved with less but it still sets a trend. Sayo is the most consistent of the three and SnowWhite is the highest ranked. Meanwhile Rrtyui is the lowest ranked and the least consistent yet he seems to be the go-to after cookiezi for most players for some reason...

its about being well-rounded, sayo can only play dt, snowwhite is a better contender for sure since he can also HDHR but rrtyui has been more famous for longer, and rrtyui has been known to SS maps modless that few people have even FC'd in the past. That's pretty amazing and part of what makes him good.

take this for example: https://osu.ppy.sh/b/306683?m=0

not a SINGLE fc, and rrtyui pulls out the SS. I don't think snowwhite could do that.

he also FC'd miss you the day it came out in several tries, it was weeks before someone else could replicate that and hes still rank 1 from the first day the map was ranked.

in terms of that kind of thing, rrtyui is the best on the top 5.
chainpullz
I'm sure if Sayo or SnowWhite cared about fc'ing freedom dive or big black they could do it in less than 1.5k playcount. But why would they spend the time when they can put out impressive DT plays in less than 300 for more pp?

i didnt mention either map. you cant boil rrtyui down to 2 maps and say hes not consistent.

rrtyui is really inconsistent, from how he makes all those random misses when he is rretryuing. He retries map like a hard worker.
On the other hand, I am not very sure about sayo cause I haven't watch him play at all.
But snowwhite is definitely more consistent but not as all-rounded as rrtyui.
Vuelo Eluko
well if hes SSing a lot of maps noone else can even FC hes still better, even if other people cant because theyre 'too busy playing dt'

dont really care about what maps people are dting for the easiest pp-to-effort ratio, its a thousand times more impressive to do what rrtyui does.
and i dont believe snowwhite or sayo could contest a lot of the modless scores rrtyui has set.
chainpullz
I mean, they are both valid logical arguments. On the other hand, SnowWhite has many DT fc's on maps where no one else has fc'd it with DT. I don't share this stream/stamina fetish everyone else seems to have and believe the DT scores to be much more impressive (and so does ppv2 coincidentally). Nor do I understand this fetish, thus I don't understand why people consider Rrtyui to be better than either Sayo or SnowWhite.
Vuelo Eluko
getting a DT FC on a scoreboard with 50 HD HR 98%+ or getting a modless SS on a scoreboard with all modless having misses, including some B's and C's and even some EZ, HT, and HT with misses.
Which is more impressive, really?
chainpullz
I'd say the DT fc on a map that less than 10 people have even passed with DT on as opposed to the map where 50 people have passed (albeit most with shitty accuracy). DT enforces a higher physical barrier while still maintaining a high mental barrier. Those nomod maps enforce a high (not as high) physical barrier with a high (unsure how to compare to DT) mental barrier. I find the physical barrier to be much more impressive (until we start talking stamina which I don't care about).

Rank doesn't really doesn't compare them that much considering how inactive they are, and rrtyui is the most inactive of the three. Rrtyui has some of the best ss's in the game, distorted lovesong, and big black. Not to mention one out of three fcs on freedom dive, something sayonara and snowwhite haven't even come close to.

Sure, you can argue that he spent a lot more tries on it, I'm sure at their level of play, they've invested a lot of time into the game in general, rrtyui just spends it on specific maps instead of going for pp.

You got EXACTLY what you wanted, what more are you looking for buddy?

Also back on new topic:

sayo can't even be considered here, he can only DT, he's not one of "those" players. So far there have been three of "those" players and of the 3 one is banned and one is grossly inactive. Of "them" snowwhite is probably the least rounded, he doesn't have as many nomod scores as the other 2 (things like https://osu.ppy.sh/b/306683?m=0 and https://osu.ppy.sh/b/129891?m=0 ). They all seem to be rather balanced in the DT department from what we've seen, 2 of them have FC'ed Hoshizora no Ima which is one of the pinnacle maps of this year. To add to that before people claim snowwhite has the better score and hence is better, take the time to appreciate rrt's FC on https://osu.ppy.sh/s/87509 which essentially proves that they're roughly equal in the DT department. If anything, the banned player has the least impressive DT scores to his name but to say he can't keep up would be insane. People said he would never FC freedom dive and after a week of playing he 1x100'd it. The banned player OWNED nomod and still does, he's on a different level at it and he has no intention of losing that title right now. None of the three seem to falter when they put their mind to it but whilst all three were competing together there was a clear dominator.

All other players are irrelevant (arguably not niko but that's a different story). These 3 players are the most consistent players in the game so it's stupid to argue that one is inconsistent for trying maps out of his comfort level (the only other competitor for consistency is possibly wubwoofwolf).
