Guild Wars 2

My lap top keyboard is all messed up from roaming and bashing my keys.

Where is a good place to get a replacement keyboard for laptops?

I only ask in the wvw forum because i hear people in team speak button mashing, so figured it is an epidemic

You may be hearing the clickety clack of a mechanical keyboard, which many gamers find to be preferred over a membrane-based keyboard.

PC Mag has a decent article on the “10 Best Gaming Keyboards of 2016” here (and maybe where to purchase them):

If you don’t need all the extra buttons, macros, backlight color customizations, or just don’t want to invest that kind of money in a keyboard, I have a Monoprice mechanical keyboard that does just fine for me (available backlit in either blue or red):

I also think there is a company out there that makes (or used to make) a Guild Wars logo’d keyboard. I’m not sure which company it was nor do I remember the quality/price.

I’m pretty sure that was steelseries. No idea if they still make it. Most of their products get decent reviews but I’ve never tried them because you could usually find something comparable for a better price.

I’ve burned up too many keyboards to ever spend a lot on one again. I go to Micro Center and buy the absolute cheapest Inland branded keyboard I can get for usually $4 bucks. It’s a toss away at such a bargain. I can buy 20-40 of them for the price of one of the “gamer” keyboards.

Don’t be afraid to give the USB cord some mechanical reinforcing at the ends to prevent kinks and internal breaking.

Thanks for the info guys! Appreciate it

What one hear over TS is often the clicketyclack of tactile blue Cherry “gamer” switches. Pfff, no. Thats kitten switches only used to bring attention to the fact you are using a mechanical keyboard. Real gamers use red or black switches. Personally I would recommend the red ones over black.

If you want a cheaper quality mechanical board (ie not $200 keyboard with 5000 buttons, full RGB lighting, made out of airplane aluminum and have built in coffee makers) you can see if you can find the good old Steelseries 6Gv2 black/red. CM Quickfire is similar in design, there are a few others around there.

After gaming for a real long time on membrane keys, I love my Cherry Reds xD
