I have my first mechanical, I paid $60 for a second-hand Razer Blackwidow and I am happy with it. I like the blue led more than the green one anyway.
I approved of mechanicals long since I had one, now that I have one, I am glad all my speculations are correct, I love this keyboard.
I want to make it blank, and I intend to use spray-paint. Anyone blanked their keyboard with spray-paint before? I'll look for vinyl spray or car spray.
