KrisBaliBecause one is never enough ;) Though seriously if you look at his list of keyboards they are different kinds with different switches so will feel very different. I see MX tactile, linear, clicky and Alps switches. Then he has TKLs, Split ergo, full size and 65%. There are many different styles of switch and layouts of keyboards, and enthusiasts like to try different things to chase the perfect keyboard for them.

KrisBaliI use 3 different boards everyday typically. I've also kinda built a small collection over the years kinda thing.
First was the Corsair K90, I had one of the switches go bad in it which is what originally got me looking into mechanicals, and what constituted a 'good' one. I later repaired the broken switch, so it's usable, but it mostly sits on my wall now because it's so biiiiig.
MagicForce was second, I got it because it was cheap, I don't use it often due to lack of F keys, and the green switches are quite loud for use anywhere outside of home. It now sits on the wall too
Varmillo I bought as a gift for my Ex, she wasn't into it and didn't keep it when we broke up. I use this occasionally with my laptop instead of the masterkeys.
Master Keys S, I use this pretty often and carry it around with my laptop. I just don't like laptop keyboards.
K Type, This is on my desk at work.
Frankenmonster, I found an old PCB from an industrial machine with a bunch of blue alps soldered on. I wanted to turn them into a keyboard.
I also now have a Unicomp board because I wanted to try buckling springs, but didn't want to pay/mod an original Model M

DrKhanMDThanks for reply. Now i get it. I am on the hunt for my first mechanical keyboard without breaking the bank. Thought of getting das keyboard but then this coolermaster is a cheaper option. I suppose you would advise the cooler? Was tempted by the coolermaster m, with numpad, but the weird 00 button kinda weird. Anyways. I dunno y i spend so long to decide..

DrKhanMDMay i have your opinion between code keyboard and the cooler masterkeys s, which would you choose? 124dollars vs 71dollars.

KrisBaliIf it's your first board I'd definitely go with the MasterKeys just for the price factor. The boards themselves are almost identical with really the only difference I can see being the Code keyboard comes with a few more switch options (green and clear).
As far as switch choice. If you've always wanted a clicky keyboard, get the MX Blues. If you plan on using it in an office or just want a quieter keyboard you should go with the MX Browns.

This keyboard is AMAZING for it's price point. It has all the features and build quality of boards that are $150+. I know this isn't the RGB model, but their lighting software in general is very well done, along with their other customization software.
You can't go wrong with this board.
