Ask Engadget: best sub-$150 mechanical keyboard?

We know you’ve got questions, and if you’re brave enough to ask the world for answers, here’s the outlet to do so. This week’s Ask Engadget inquiry is coming to us from Andrew, who wants to get a proper keyboard, for doing serious business on. If you’re looking to send in an inquiry of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.

“Hi, I’m thinking about getting a mechanical keyboard for my desktop. I’m a student so I’ll need to do a bunch of word-processing and also moderate FPS gaming in the downtime. I’ve got a budget of $150 and prefer Cherry MX Blue and Brown switches, do you have any suggestions?”

No “thank you?” Man, the kids of today. Anyway, it’s a weird coincidence because we’ve also been pondering swapping out our chiclet daily-driver for something more serious. We played with Matias’ One at CES, while Andrew himself has one eye on the Razer Blackwidow or the Das Model S Pro / Stealth. But that’s us, what we want to know is what y’all out there are using when it comes to properly made keyboards — stick your comments below and let’s get this doing done.
