have this keyboard and starting to not liking it at all. i pla mainly fps shooters. and sonetimes it feels that the leyboard is so fast that it feels like it predicts what you pressing next. i cant count how often i took my grenade out while i was spraying etc. its started to get really annoying. i enjoyed my purely mechanic cm storm keyboard way way more than this tbh. all that said iam not saying the keyboard is shit it just doesnt fit my purpose and gets me in more trouble tbh
r/steelseries • Noob trying to buy a keyboard ->I'm currently using a 13 year old Cooler Master Storm QuickFire Pro with Cherry MX Brown keys. It's still working great, outside of the Escape key popping off because I spilled something on it at some point. However, at this age, I need something easier to take apart and clean every few months. With that in mind, here's what I want in a new keyboard and hope someone can help me out finding a solid solution. No budgetary restrictions but the answer really shouldn't be more than $150 right? Full sized. The closer to the layout of the CM Storm Quickfire ( [https://i.imgur.com/UHDdOBp.png](https://i.imgur.com/UHDdOBp.png) ) the better and extra keys in the top right space would be nice. Hot-swappable switches. Although I'd likely buy Cherry MX Brown to match what I'm used to, I'd really like the ability to buy a full set of something else when I catch a whim. In conjunction, however: Easy to clean. I assume when the switches are hot-swappable, it's a lot easier to just rip the keys off and wipe the thing down for a thorough cleaning. Would I be correct in this assessment or no? It also seems (at least from watching one breakdown video of Ducky) like newer keyboards don't use the annoying metal hooks to latch keys onto the board, which the CM Storm has plenty of. Makes disassembly and reassembly real annoying so avoiding that would be nice. Lights but not transparent key caps. Some kinda programmable RGB would be nice, as long as it only shines through the key labels and not the entire key. Macro software. Devs of games using Easy Anti-Cheat are starting to block AutoHotKey, which I use 24/7 for convenience needs and to get around games where the keybindings are not fully up to spec. I don't play games with WASD so this happens often. If I can get a keyboard with macro software that EAC hasn't latched onto yet so I can move off of AHK, that'd be preferrable. Decent paint on the keys. I notice when I rub down my CM Storm with alcohol, some of the paint rubs off onto the cotton swaps I use. If I can avoid that, it would be nice. Wired. I don't want wireless but if it's optional, sure, that's fine. Black. I want it to be black! Noisy is fine. I like the click and the clack but if the answer needs to come with some kind of sound suppression, so be it. I thought the Ducky One 3 would be the answer but I've read reviews that it has, for 3 years now, had a double-tap problem, sometimes even worse than double-tapping. So we can discuss that if need be but it was last reported in February from what I can see. Thanks for the help and discussion!
