Mechanical? Price range?
I have a Ducky One 2 and I would really recommend it if you're able to get one (alternate.be is a very good store if you're in Europe), it's cheaper and better built than every other more known brand I've tried before (Razer and Corsair mainly).
Are all those publishers going exclusive on Epic going to sell their games in one year from the Epic release date for full price?
Because considering many of those games are on console, after 1 year the console verrsion prices will be 1/3 of the original one, maybe some of those games will have a GOTY released too, so they pretend Steam users to re-purchase their games again for the original price?

That would basically be Epic going 'Hey Bronson, we know you want this game the most' and buying it up
I have a Roccat Vulcan 120 Aimo and really like it.
Best option is however either getting one, trying it and then returning it if it is not to your liking. Or try some in a store. Keyboards and mice are too subjective to give a general recommendations.
While I'm not a fan of panic-preorders (see Metro: Exodus, etc.) I would def. nab Disco if it showed up on Steam's storefront for a limited time.
That damn game has been my #1 most anticipated release for like 2 years in a row, lol.
real talk: Humble would be much better if they announced/released games weekly instead of a 1 day lump that you most likely just chuck it all in the backlog and forget about. At least weekly you could go "oh this looks neat, lets try this" and maybe possibly play it before the next thing came out. Also its just common sense to spread it out because a few new things every week is more exciting than 1 new thing once a month.
what I'm saying is that it should be more like gamepass (actually it was also the early Minit unlock that made me feel this way, as I actually ended up playing it). Of course this is all a moot point because sooner or later it will all be EGS keys and we wont care lol.

Just wait, next Epic is going to snag In The Valley of Gods from Valve, just to watch the forums burn.
Another vote for the Ducky One 2. I picked up the TKL version with mx blue switches and it's an absolute joy to type on and built like a tank.
hey, at least you can rest easy knowing the new Star Wars game will be exclusive to Origin.
Im open for everything, i know little to none about good keyboards
Yes, will try but i want recommendations first soo i can check it
I'm using Origin for BFV anyway :D
:hopeless:
I should have replaced Far Cry New Dawn with Rebel Galaxy Outlaw. Loved the first one.
Bear in mind some of the things you will be asked.
What layout do you want? Awesome ISO or stupid ANSI?
Do you want full size or a TKL jobbie without a number pad?
If you want a mechanical keyboard then do you want clacky Blue Cherry switches, tactile Cherry Brown switches or slippy-smooth Red Cherry switches or hybrids or standard dome jobbies?
Do you need NKRO so you can press tons of keys at once and have them all register or will standard 6-KRO do ya?
Yeah, there's a lot of questions if you can stomach them :)
Also try asking here: ResetEra Mechanical Keyboards OT
We're not that scary, honest.
ISO is life.
(Unless you go down the split multi-layer ortho rabbit hole. Full respect.)
But yeah, first question I would ask is do you want clicky switches (blue), linear (red), or tactile but non-clicky (brown). IMO blues are most satisfying to type on, but the least appropriate for games.

For starters, there's no point equating a system used for determining user-tailored visibility of products in a retail store to productivity tools or operative systems, as they're pieces of software driven by completely different needs and goals.
Discussing the actual effects of transparency, it should be emphasized that for transparency to have a positive impact you need to make sure users - in this case developers - are able to properly interpret and evaluate the data they're being provided, otherwise it will do more harm than good.
We've already seen a severe misunderstanding of several systems that are part of Steam's ecosystem. Regional pricing for example is completely transparent, with developers having full control over the system while Valve provides documentation and suggests pricing based on their data. Yet you still had articles like this with several developers (minus one who actually understood its importance) equating regional pricing to "forced discounts", dismissing research that showcases the significance of regional pricing and its positive effects in terms of sales and user acquisition.
Going a bit further, let's look at this article based on research conducted on student grading algorithms, which is a relatively comparable situation to the one we're discussing. It's worth a read and I'll quote a few paragraphs that should summarize the potential issues surrounding transparency in algorithms:
The main thing to take away from this is that Valve should focus on improving indie developers' trust on Steam. It's not about making their systems fully transparent, but rather making sure the rationale guiding their decisions is properly communicated and understood. Valve already provides a lot of tools, useful data and in-depth documentation, as well as doing regular updates about its improvements to the store, but these won't do any good if developers aren't taking advantage of them or don't trust the decisions Valve are making.
Talking of keyboards. My office colemak board now uses black, blank keycaps. Nobody else will ever be able to use my office machine ever again :D.
(unless they plug in their own board, or I switch it, of course).

The ANSI vs ISO debate depends a lot on where you're located. I'm in Italy and the market for QWERTY ISO keyboard here is extremely limited to a few models from very well known brands when it comes to mechanical keyboards.
If you're in a different market with more choices, you should go with the layout you're used to.
I switched to ANSI after 20 years using only ISO keyboards and got accustomed pretty quickly.

So now that Mr Orange is stepping down can we remove the no anime rule from the OP of future threads?
Disco Elysium and Mortal Kombat 11 both are getting Simplified Chinese localisations, which means I'm super skeptical about the "MK11 EGS exclusive" rumour from earlier.
Maybe it will have an Index version when we learn more about the index itself down the line
Epic doing the good work here, giving all PC Gamers further reasons to not preorder games. Well done Mr. Sweeney.
Afterparty I had zero goddamn chance on I'll go wherever they go
Lol at the other ones though, that's like half your damn list
Ugh, you got the princess, didn't you?
Did you do the Ringed City? It's essential to any playthrough.
I've used ANSI keyboards on Unix machines and SGI Workstations and i've never been able to deal with the tiny enter key. I can use them but i just don't like it.
Also i'm really sensitive to the layout and size of the shift-alt-ctrl cluster so i usually have to email the supplier to double check it's ISO layout and the type of ctrl-alt-shift keys.
Also due to RSI issues i've moved to TKL keyboards and never looked back.
You're forgetting Shenmue 3, which is both published by Deep Silver and it uses UE.
Plus since it's a Kickstarter project probably DeepSilver will fuck it up.
That's why I put a red ?! there :D
Epic knows I have the best taste in games
... I backed Shenmue 3
If RSI is an issue, maybe you should try out a split ortho design like the ergodox. After you have the layout down, you can try moving to an optimised key layout like Colemak, Workman, etc. They reduce hand movement quite a lot compared to qwerty.
On a budget, there is always SmartYao
To make it clear, when I mentioned earlier another supposed EGS exclusive was dropping today I wasn't talking about Mortal Kombat 11. No idea where that rumor comes from, just making sure it's not because of that post that people are discussing it.
I was talking about this:
It's the game formerly known as Project Wight that was being shown at GDC. No details on platforms (beyond the standard PC, XB1, PS4) have been revealed yet though. It's not locked for a 2019 release, so they might be waiting before revealing anything else.

So everything people speculated that happened with Anthem development, actually happened

I liked the small quest line with her.
Although, like most stealth in non-stealth game, the sneaking part sucked.
