I have a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate with Cherry MX blue switches and I really like it, it's great for gaming (even if it doesn't have full rollover) and it's a sheer joy to type one when I'm not gaming.
Drawbacks are that it's expensive ($125 when I bought it, and it looks like it's about $150 now), and although it has on the fly Macros (which are great) their more permanent software solution is this cloud thing that you have to register for, which I find to be pretty ugly.

First off, it is absolutely worth it!!! It's sheer joy it use a mechy for anything!
I got a CM Storm Trigger with Red Cherry MXs. It's $85 on Amazon.

I haven't got one yet, but I am working on it. I'll be watching this thread. |

Just bought this one »www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···23816001
I love the Cherry Reds on it, gaming is so sweet. It's a little hard to type on if you tend to mispell a lot, but I'll get used to it I'm sure. |

Yeah I am not sure about the advantage of having 20 key rollover since us humans only have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs. I don't think it's possible to hit 10 different keys at once let alone 20, unless you swat the board with your hand LOL

I touched some keys on a Razer at Mediocre Buy and it felt pretty nice. Love the clicky, mechanical feel over rubber innards. |

i like the clicky, downside, i type quickly. Crap. I do too. Is that an issue because it takes more pressure to push the key or is it a key travel issue? I also press keys really hard, though. |

If it is, I haven't noticed it over gummy keyboards. My typing speed is about the same on both.

From research and comments here, I am seriously now leaning toward the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2013 as well. My local computer store has it on sale for $129.00 til the end of the month.
