Unable to resolve the chattering "c" key on my mechanical keyboard, I bit the bullet and picked up a new one. Since I spend an extreme amount of time at the keyboard, I decided to go upscale, and bought a Corsair K95 RGB Platinum XT. This is a pricy, premium item, but I have to say I'm very impressed so far. It features CHERRY MX Blue switches, six dedicated macro keys, a padded palm rest, and a solid aluminum frame. It's got an incredible key action, terrific ergonomics, and the macro software, which I use, is much easier and more intuitive than my previous experience with Logitech keyboards. The only problem I've encountered is the macros didn't operate after a reboot until I futzed with things, but I was able to deal with it, and I don't reboot that often, anyway.
