Once you use a mechanical you'll never use anything else. I have a Razor Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth mechanincal keyboard with cherry keys. Love this thing. Freakin awesome! Yeah I saw Logitech was making some now.. Razor makes a bunch of mechanicals with the Chrono lighting. Completely cool. This is a heavy, solid, well made keyboard. Very nice. Do it, you love it.


"Nov8tr" is pronounced "INNOVATOR"

Will we ever see an "official" Hawken keyboard to go with the mouse?

For those who didn't watch the video, it features some insanely old Hawken Alpha footage.

If you look closely at the video and the guys hand, he doesn't know how to play Hawken

 

Logitech still uses the same footage it has for a while.

 

Was at a convention called EB expo and I saw Hawken footage being shown, except none of the exhibitors knew what it was and I cried on the inside

Btw. if you are looking for a reasonable priced mechanical keyboard without any fancy stuff and minimum optical effect - I can recommend the Cherry MX-Board 3.0.

Can't brew coffee, not impressed. Video is also missing a caption saying "Improved space bar for more win".

Had a Corsair K90 with MX Cherry Red's...lots of bugs on that board and hated the cherry red keys. The Browns I feel would be a much better choice for gaming if going with a mechanical KB. 

 

Even though I got the K90 at a great sale price at the time, I disliked it so much I gave it to the wife (she's not a fan of the Cherry Red either) says it sucks for typing and she's a great typer.

 

I went back to a membrane KB... a MS SIDEWINDER X4 KB  for 40 bucks and love it. I may try another mechanical KB when this one craps out, but it's rock solid and still like new after 2 years of pounding on it.

Personally, I prefer the browns, and use the little rubber band cushion things.

I also like how this thread was supposed to be about something else, but people are too lazy to follow a link AND watch a video.

That's a great Keyboard for the money. As an user of it's Cherry MX blue brother, the build quality is amazing, The media keys are really useful, and it has a nice USB pass-through so you don't have to reach behind your PC to plug something in.and its muffled browns, I heard, are pretty quite. You may see on the internet that the G710+ keycaps break easily, but Logitech has fixed the issue on newer models, and those are the ones now being sold on Newegg.

I had one of the IBM keyboards back in the day. My first mechanical. And yeah the debate between brown and cherry keys is about half and half. I don't think either is better, I think it's a personal preference on how you like the "feel" of the keys. I love cherries. (grin.) I hear some people swear by the rubber rings to keep em from bottoming out. (ok that sentence could be misconstrued. :p ) But I do absolutely believe the mechanical are superior to the other spongy key things. But that is of course IMO.

Yeah, they could have at least got someone who's played a video game before, to pretend like they were playing that Hawken session.

 

Logitech, we make do the game thing.

The G710 was on display at my local Walmart for $99. Feels pretty solid. This may be the gaming hardware noob in me, but I think that the channels under the keyboard for cables is ingenious. I use them to keep my super sharp elbows from yanking on my headset cord.

I like going against the best of any game I play. Helps you in the long run n motivates u to do more. Always room for improvement not failure

That video is SO much proof that it would be great if we could get back the old look and feel of Hawken.  But don't take our word for it... just think, "If Logitech, the biggest manufacturer of PC Gaming devices, wanted to use it in a video to show off their products, you know it's damn impressive!

I think that video says more about how out of touch Logitech is with gaming, than it does about the quality of alpha Hawken.

Eh, poo poo me all you want.  I still think the alpha and beta graphics looked better: the dust, the tracers, the smoke and fire... just the general "feel" of the graphics was more impressive and unique.

If anyone buys or has bought that keyboard from Newegg would do a review mentioning the name of the game it might get us some more new players. 

 

Just a thought.
