Mechanical switches, MX. I played with the red, blue, black, and brown and liked the MX Brown the best. So got a CMStorm keyboard about a week ago with the MXBrowns. So far, I'm liking it. Nothing beats mechanical switches, and the board has lighted keys in RED; you can even set it so that only the WASD keys light. It's also a 'traditional' layout; I looked at keyboards with all kinds of extra keys, detachable/movable sections, all kinds of junk, but as I WASD+mouse, simpler is better, and I have the macro keys on the left for anything special. Even has a USB port that I use a memstick with. My mouse is the Logitech G700, again, nothing fancy, I can run it wired or wireless, it does not look like a cyborg, and it uses regular rechargeable AA batteries.
