How would this compare to other mechanical keyboards? So, out of these, which do you guys recommend?

I agree with Duc. All the latest mechanical keyboards use the same switches from Cherry, so they're give the same basic feel. In terms of price, the Razer keyboards, which use Cherry MX Blue switches seem the best and combined with the macro software is a rather great choice. I have two Filco Majestouch keyboards, one with Cherry MX Brown (tactile, but not clicky) and one with Cherry MX Blue (tactile + clicky) switches. In my opinion, I feel that the Cherry MX Brown switches are better for typing, but they're easier to fat finger, Blues are better for gaming as it's harder to mistype a key. The only thing is Cherry MX Brown switches are harder to come by in the US, but both Filco, which are now purchasable on Amazon via a merchant and the Das S Silent utilize said switches.

depends on the model you are choosing the price may be a bit different, but as far as I am aware, the k70 is the k70.Be aware that this keyboard doesn't play well with KVM switches FYI.

Well i got the k30 because it of the price, but after gaming with it for a couple of weeks it became clear it is a great keyboard, but if you want more features go for the k50, if you get the k30 you will not be disapointed...

Even though the Monoprice board is listed as a gaming board, it's pretty sparse. The lights are Caps Lock, Numpad,, and Scroll Lock, and I have to say they are fairly bright, but they aren't overbearing. The best feature to this board is the mechanical keys. They are Cherry Blues and they are fantastic if you do a lot of keying. The noise may be a little disconcerting. at first, if you're not used to a mechanical board, but it's very durable and it's a good-looking board, to boot. I guess the durability is why it's listed as a gaming board.

These are full sized mechanical keys, not Cherry MX. Alot like oldschool keyboards but still nicer quality.I've been very hard on mine and it is holding up like a trooper. Best thing about it is can choose any color for backlight and the volume wheel feels great.

the px100 is great as far as keyboard touch goes, and if you are a beginner I'd say it's fine to learn on. I would prefer an upright with good touch, generally yamaha or steinway only, but if you are looking between this keyboard and a crummy upright, I'd go with the keyboard. 3.5mm regular headphone jack X2-13 years as a competitive pianist

I think it depends how many programmable Gkeys you need. The K30 has 6 and the K50 has 16. It wasnt an issue for me. The only other main differences are the K50 has a few more back lighting option colors. The K30 keys only glow red but it does have 3 different brightness levels and also an off. The K50 also has a wrist rest attached. You have to decide if those extra features are important to you or not. Otherwise its pretty much the same keyboard. I have the K30 and its outstanding for normal usage and gaming.

I've gone through 3 of these keyboards. The keys and the springy part under the keys are plastic, not metal. This makes them wear out over time. I do A LOT of typing, so it stands to reason they'd wear out faster with me. If you do only moderate typing, it should last you at least a couple of years. All 3 of mine lasted a little over a year.I've never had the mouse die on me. I've given them away as I replaced the keyboard. The M510 mouse is awesome, and I can't stand any other mouse! It's spoiled me. Feels good in your hand, not too big/small, good range for receiver, can be used by righty or lefty, LASTS FOREVER!

If you want the feel and responsiveness of the mechanical keyboards but the quietness of the laptop keyboards I believe DAS keyboards offers something like that, here http://www.daskeyboard.com/ look for the silent model, it might be worth it if you're going to type in a crowded environment where others might be bothered by the clicky noise.

Seems quite well bulit to me, the only issue i can forsee is the extender bar for your wrists at the bottom may become worn/break if you adjust it alot, i just dont use it so i dont have an issue and its still comfortable. Ive owned it for quite awhile (cant recall exact date, not sure if my review is dated) 6+ months. Great durability, all lights working, all functions working. I use this keyboard daily for gaming and school work, so it gets quite a workout. If you're debating on which keyboard you want, i suggest this one 100%! Great customizability, durability, and functionality for the price.

The keyboard is very responsive. That is the best thing about this particular keyboard is that it is very fast. It is slightly slower than my laptop keyboard, but still very quick and way better than all of the other ones out therer that I have tried (the silicone molded keyboards).

It is quieter than say a stock Dell keyboard. It more or less has a rather muffled thunk type of sound compared to clicking. I'm a programmer / sys admin and I don't completely touch type, nor do I type 60 wpm. So your mileage may vary.

Cont... please make sure u like or are ok with the split keyboard set up.. I love it.. less errors and makes u use your home row keys for speed typing. . If ur a single finger type it will drive u nuts.. Also if u have small hands.. hope I helped

I dont have the K50 so I dont know but the K30 is an awsome keyboard it seems the same but I can just tell you that K50 is better since I dont have it.

Well my favorite keyboard is not this one in all honesty but I can say for the price and value of what it is it IS good and a decent buy. I noticed the the clicking notices when gaming aren't loud which really counts in my house because I play hard when I game and get to pounding at my keyboards pretty hard. I think that one is quiet compared to most. Just remember it is not a mechanical keyboard. Its a good value for the money and I considered it quiet. Hope this helps *smile... happy gaming!

Btw....The EX110 is probably the best keyboard ever made.......I've gone through about 8 of them over the years.....that's not to say they wear out quickly, but that I use my keyboard a LOT........and I have 2 more in reserve.......I LOVE this keyboard.......z
