Mechanical or nawwww?

I have used this keyboard for about 4 years and love it. As with most keyboards, the wearing away of the coating on the keys for the most used keys is a pain. As long as you are a "typist" and not a two-finger-hunt-&-peck typist, you will be fine. The soft blue back-lighting makes it nice for use in low-light. It's a large/long keyboard, so I dispensed with the wrist rest thing. Overall, I am happy with mine.

Unicomp has a keyboard in a Windows 7 configuration and the keys are actual mechanical switches. So feels a little firmer and louder than this. I have both. I like the Unicomp best. You have to purchase factory direct from Unicomp.

No but it does have a mechanical feel. The keys have a slightly longer travel time.

This is a mechanical...as opposed to electronic...keyboard. That is the reason it feels and sounds different. For a gamer, according to my sons...all three of them...this is kind of a 'purist' thing. For me, it is a matter of perference.

To answer your question, I have to ask a question of my own.By mechanical, I assume you mean that the keys move up and down rather than staying in one place, sort of the difference between a conventional keyboard and a touch screen?If so, it's still a conventional mechanical keyboard, and a pretty good one at that, as I bought this about two years ago, and I'm typing this response on it.Still works perfectly.

Fully variable, and with a GREAT touch, IMO. Easy to finesse all the torque it puts out. Personally, I love trigger on this thing.

Sorry, not sure where the information is coming from on the mechanical issues.

periwinkles:I may be mistaken, but I believe the previous post you referred to was speaking of a piano keyboard being drawn, not a QWERTY keyboard. I have the pen, and think the piano is more of a demo/gimmick than anything useful. Sorry.

Go with the Craftsman if you can afford it. Craftsman is always a better option.

Either one is for work and take the impact away from your feet. You should good with either one.

It is NOT a mechanical keyboard. However, I can tell you that I have been hardcore PC gaming for 18years and I am very satisfied with the way it feels. If you must have mechanical, wait for their new RYOS series keyboards to come out.

No, I guess they're not mechanical switch keys; Steelseries would specify that on their site for this keyboard if it were I'm pretty sure. The feel is very good, so some people think it is mechanical; I can't tell by using it. I recommend you find a Bestbuy that has one and check it out; you can probably even get them to hook it up to a pc so you can try it. Then thank them for their time and buy from Amazon for the better price :)

THis may not be a straight answer and I appologise. But let me tell you, Brushless is the ONLY way to go. I would assume the difference is 10+ mph. If looking for a slower one, You may want to go brushed. Gas is a headache and always jacks itself up. Brushless delivers speed, torque, reliablity. Maybe others have better advice. Albeit I am sure most would agree that brushless is by far the most fun. Good luck on your search. Feel free to ask more questions. Is the price your only issue?

I've used both. WM1000 is larger but easier to handle. They are different animals.

The switches on the handle are different. It would be a style preference. Thanks for your interest.
