I hate this keyboard. The keys stick and are unresponsive and the switches don't offer the kind of tactile response I'd want in a mechanical keyboard. I bought one, used it for 3 months, and put it in the closet.
I bought this as a replacement and think it's fantastic:
K95 RGB PLATINUM Mechanical Gaming Keyboard | THE WAIT IS OVER. YOU WANTED IT ALL. HERE IT IS.
CORSAIR K95 RGB PLATINUM features CHERRY MX Speed keyswitches backed by a lightweight aluminum frame. 8MB profile storage with hardware macro and lighting playback enable profile access independent of external software.
I just make sure to turn the lights off.

some ppl had issues w/ the g910, using new romerG key, short actuation point (probably why you felt it unresponsive) vs any keyboard using cherrymx which has been around for over 30years and in billions of keyboards.I hate this keyboard.

The Corsair K95 Platinum is hands down the best keyboard I've used. It made me finally bench my old Filco I had imported like a decade ago.
I picked up one with the linear keys instead of the browns for the tactile bump. I don't find I miss the bump at all. These switches have been fantastic for all the typing I do at work and gaming at night.
Edit: I have all the lights on my keyboard/mouse/PC etc all set to a low muted white. Screw all that flashy color changing nonsense.

Holy shit $/€200 for that K95 keyboard. I wanted mechanical keys, G-keys (for the MMOs I no longer play) and maybe backlight of any kind. The G910 was the cheapest option with all those features (plus I got it via amazon warehouse deal for €95)
Works for me. At work I have a Cherry MX-board 3.0 brown but as I said I wanted backlighting and additional keys.

Posted this in the Tech section as it seemed to have more traffic, but since this one is being used again, I'll repost it here.
Still feel the same way about it several weeks later. I can't figure out how to justify it at work though, since the vast majority of the typing I do during work hours is on this forum

We have a couple dudes in my scrum lab that use mechanical keyboards. If you're looking to get murdered that's probably the quickest way

I share an office with a guy that is not only hard of hearing (which causes him to shout into the phone because he thinks they can't hear since he can't hear), but when he types he literally pounds the keyboard with his 2 pointer fingers. It sounds like a herd of buffaloes stampeding. Whenever anyone walks into our office and he is typing, they immediately look at me with a look of bewilderment, and I just shrug and throw up my hands. His keyboard is one of the cheap bubble types that come with HPs, Dells, etc. and he's capable of generating that kind of noise. So I'm not worried.
Also, my new keyboard at home, the one I linked, is significantly quieter than my older one. None of this matters though if I can't convince someone that I need to spend $150 on a keyboard. I need a better chair first, now that I think about it.
