Got myself a mechanical keyboard

[NotAnalGrap]

I picked up one of these bad boys at Microcenter last week.
Amazon.com: Logitech G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Tactile High-Speed Keys - Black (920-003887): Computers & Accessories

So this is my first mechanical keyboard, and I am quite impressed. The cherry brown switches are fantastic. Enough noise (louder than my G110) but not annoying loud.

What I like:
Great feel and response from the keys.
The assuring clicking sound.
two stage backlit keyboard - (entire keyboard and seperate 3 stage for the wasd)
Wrist/hand rest thing is just the right size. Not annoyingly big, but does provide light support.
The Volume scroll wheel (same as on the G110)
The start key lock button

Cons: I haven't found any yet. I guess having to learn how to retype was a bit of a con. However, I am a much better typist already. I think I may have to get another one of these for work. I am now worse at typing when I am not on this keyboard anymore.

Once you have a mechanical for a while it seems weird typing on anything but mechanical.

That's because you finally realize just how shitty the other keyboards really are.

I would have waited a little bit: Vengeance K95 Fully-Mechanical Keyboard

Looks pretty sweet. But I don't care about all the extra buttons on the left, and I like the Cherry brown switches. Other than that, I don't see any real differences.

without the crappy name & extra keys you could have saved $30
