So much for filco, that ss looks nice except for the weird multi-button shift key

6Gv2 with reds? Aww yeah

was some kind of limited edition sold only in dreamhack

apparently they will sell it online to everyone else eventually

No volume control :/

You don't need button(s) for volume control, you can use software for that. For example, this is what I use:

ctrl + PgUp = volume up
ctrl + PgDn = volume down
Scroll Lock = global mute

http://www.waroengkom.com/product/Logitech-Media-Keyboard-600.jpg now that's what I call a volume control!

Waste of space ;)

I have that keyboard. I got it 'cos I used the volume control on my old keyboard, but this one is shit and I never use it.. the keyboard itself is alright though.

you can control volume via gui, no need to use dedicated keys for that..

What if you want to mute sound or change volume during a game / movie without minimizing? easier to use keys. Besides, I never use scroll lock or ctrl + page up / down for anything.

movies? vlc lets you use the scrollwheel for volume control.
quake? get a volume script and bind it somewhere.
:d

haha stop being so pedantic :P ok, what about this one; you're playing uhh.. Battlefield 3, with winamp playing music in the background. You want to mute the sound of everything with 1 key without minimizing because you get a phone call.

I rest my case. Anyway, personal preference.

play with headphones ...and take them off? :D

Sound still leaks from headphones :p

i smell porn.

I smell Meshuggah blasting through Beyer DT 770's amped by FiiO E9 at slightly sub ear-damaging volume.

For me I just hit Fn(windows key)+v. That mutes the sound. Volume is fn+b and n, and ctrl+fn+b and n for foobar2000 volume. Play/pause is fn+f. Big keyboards are useless, it's like some fisher price shit. Get a real keyboard.

That's exactly what I'm saying... I have a Filco Majestouch 2.

I already have a real keyboard.

ffs download AutoHotKey @ http://www.autohotkey.com/ and stop buying shit keyboards with media keys. You can bind anything with that program.

Why are you replying to me with that? I already use AHK. I am the one saying you DON'T need media keys, lololol.

You can use a volume control script and bind them to some keys for Quake Live.


Here it is.


bind PGUP "vstr vol_up"
bind PGDN "vstr vol_down"


set vol_up "vstr vol_9"
set vol_down "vstr vol_5"


set vol_0 "s_volume 0.0; set vol_up vstr vol_0.5; set vol_down vstr vol_0 ; echo ^7Volume: ^0[^70.0^0]"
set vol_0.5 "s_volume 0.1; set vol_up vstr vol_1; set vol_down vstr vol_0 ; echo ^7Volume: ^0[^20.1^0]"

set vol_9 "s_volume 1.0; set vol_up vstr vol_10; set vol_down vstr vol_8 ; echo ^7Volume: ^0[^21.0^0]"

Cherry reds are alright. They are quite comparable to browns, and personally I don't notice much difference. The initial resistance of the key press makes it somewhat similar to browns. If you want a really nice feeling linear board, get an ABS M1, and take out the leaf springs. With that you don't have the initial resistance, and it is a much better feeling linear board. Though the keys wiggle a lot more, and the board is louder, you also don't have NKRO.

Here's a sound comparison:

Just note that the key caps have the most significant effect on the sound. I took off the caps of the poker keyboard and put Filco ones on it, and naturally it became nearly as loud as the Filco.
