Oh I got a question for the owners of 6Gv2. I read quite a few complaints about the key cap printing fading away rather fast. Can someone comfirm/deny the problem?

A current photo of your 6Gv2 keys + how long you've owned it will be much appreciated!
Well I can tell you at least for my version those claims are bogus because the print is laser edged instead of just printed on they should not fade of for a very long time (it could be that they changed that in later versions), I have mine for about 8 months and see no fading at all. I have had other keyboards where they did start to fade quite fast so I know what to look for. One problem I do have but that's something almost all keyboards have is that the plastic starts shining quite fast, after a few months they already started shining and now all my somewhat commonly used keys have it. I also heard Steelseries is quite nice when its about replacements so if you even have fading key prints you can just go through their support and they will most likely just send you new keys.

Why people don't like when their key caps start to shine with use. I usually use the different texture in my X key to find it faster just before the end of a break in the middle of a song.

I'm using a Logitech G19 keyboard and have been using it for about 2 years. It's nice but whenever my computer sleeps the backlight resets to white and I can't change it again, so I have to restart my computer (if anyone knows a solution please tell me).

razer blackwidow tournament edition
the tounament edition doesnt have those useless number pad, which is good for me because I dont have much space on my table.
Also its very loud ( I dont hear anything if I put my headsets on and play osu!) I wake my whole family up if I would play this at night lol

just a standard acer laptop keyboard. Practically my system is a laptop. :3

Built-in keyboard of M18x, It's pretty hard to place such a huge laptop and an extended keyboard together on a desk in a university dorm...
Besides the type of keyboard doesn't affect me that much.

Today I finally said goodbye to my trusty 8yo $20 rubber dome.

Got a CM quickfire tk Brown (good deal too). Hope this one goes a long way.

qlum thanks for the feedback on 6Gv2. It was a tough choice between the 2 kb and I chose the brown switch in the end.

I've been using Corsair k90 (cherry mx red) since the start. Really pleased with it although it can be really loud

I have the quickfire tk with blue switches, the build quality and key caps are great, not to mention the relatively cheap price. Good choice!

After spending a day with it, I don't think I can ever go back to rubber domes again.

This is a sexy keyboard to type on. There're some complaints about the numpad combined with arrow keys, but I got used to it in just a day. Loving it!

Oh that's another kb I considered.

I remember reading posts about the Brown switches on Leopold almost feel as hard as Black. How does yours feel compared to other Brown/Black switches?

I'm trying a rubber-dome keyboard again just for comparisions and I feel a lot more endurance and stamina compared to the BlackWidow, it's a Logitech K120.

It's a great budget keyboard either way, if you want browns then try getting your hands on a new one, they should be about the same price as listed there (70-80€). They got a similar and backlit model with reds for about the same price as well, but if you insist on linear switches you might as well go for a 6gv2.

I like it more than reds although staminas quite hard on it, it lets you burst speed easier imo
