Mechanical keyboards and Tetris

[Shizi]

And there goes my experiment down the trash can since I've been busy with work and
*cough* recently released Skyrim. But I've played a little and improved easily my TOJ score down to 56.7. TF is currently impossible to play since it lags a lot on my Win7 and the recent FireFox update, it's actually never been really stable for me. I haven't tried any Nullpo after the first day.

In general it's been much more easier and faster to type with a mechanical keyboard and playing is also a lot easier and fun due to responsive buttons. So if you have some extra cash lying around Id' strongly recommend to get SteelSeries 6gv2.

I sometimes think the keyboard on my macbook pro is better then my external mac keyboard, maybe because the external one is fairly new. This might be a stupid question, but is the mac keyboard a mechanical one? I'd really like to try out those SteelSeries, but I wonder if it's worth it because I have an Apple keyboard already that's quite good.

you've answered your own question - what ain't broke, don't fix it

what ain't broke, don't fix it

Nothing wrong with improving on something thats not broken

the kb on laptops are not mechanical. the external 1 might be if its a matias tacticle pro

i don't know if there's any other mechs that are mac specific .. if its a mac kb and the list value is under $100 probably not a mech.

The macbook pros have pretty high quality key switches even though they are not mechanical, could even be better than the external ones. just use what you feel is better.

I've been playing on my brothers mech keyboard and i find it WORSE than my laptop keyboard but better than my standard computer keyboard.

The thing that makes most difference for me is the depth of the keys it seems.
