[Solved] Das Keyboard Cherry MX Blues for FPS.

Hey,

I called up Das Keyboard and they said they can give me 20% off as a student discount. I'm just wondering if the MX Blues will be good for FPS. I play competitive CS:S and SC2, so I play both rts and fps games. Will the blues be good for both?

Thanks,
Carpy2.

PS, I know the most common answer will be "try them out, it's preference." I am not in a position to be able to try all of them, so I am asking for people who own these keyboards for their opinions. Thanks.

Well you can always see some reviews around internet like these ones:

Here is the noise comparisons:

by what i've readed mx blues is a great keyboard but is one of the loudest mechanical keyboard you have, so if you have no problems with the click noise, go for it, because the reviews about it are very good.

here you read about all of the models, the blue is also there:

Thanks for the replies.

I am more concerned about the tactile feel. The blues have a click half way down that you can feel, versus the blacks that are linear all the way until you bottom out. From what i see a lot of sc2 players like the blues because of the clickiness and tactile feel, but lots of fps gamers like the linear feel. Just wondering what other people think about that.

Unfortunately I live the farthest away from NYC on the continental US haha. And for some reason no store here carries them for me to test out. I called Frys, best buy, and other smaller computer focused stores. They are nowhere to be found!

Thanks for your input though, I can't decide between the blues and blacks. Blacks will be good for fps, and will perform well in sc2, but blues seem like they will feel much better. Just not sure how the click mechanism will affect small movements made in fps games such as quick peeking around corners and snap shooting.
