Question 2

whats the difference between clicky and stealth models sorry im new to gaming keyboards

Accepted Answer

The difference lies in the type of switches used.  (The square/rectangular pieces of plastic with letters, numbers or symbols are called key caps.  Below each key cap is a switch which sends a signal whenever you depress the key cap.  This signal tells the computer which key you have pressed.)  The clicky model uses Kalih Green switches while the Stealth model uses Kalih Orange switches.  With both types of switches, you can feel a distinct bump and hear a click whenever you depress the key cap.  Kalih Greens have a more distinct bump and a much louder click noise.  Kalih Orange has a softer bump and click.  Some people prefer clicky keyboards especially for gaming, as they want to feel whenever the switch is actuated.  The loud clicks however make such keyboards unsuitable for a quiet environment e.g. in the office.  Stealth keyboards are softer in sound but in no way silent.As to which type of switches you should buy, it is very much a personal preference.  I would suggest you find a shop with mechanical keyboards or better yet, sample switches, on display and try them out.

Question 3

Is this good for typing long papers? Im a college senior and going to be a grad student, so i will be spending more time in Word than gaming

Accepted Answer

I have the 2014 edition (which is very similar). Typing on it is amazing. Like most mechanical boards, the keys are well separated and easy for people with larger hands (Donald Trump would have difficulty). The clicky noise helps me confirm that the hit was registered (helps when reading a book while typing). Had the keyboard for two years and the springs are still going strong. The Activation point is slightly better than Cherry MX blue. The only thing that comes close is the Cherry MX Master (or some call Cherry MX Green). If you have an additional $50 bucks, go for the Cherry MX Master/Green. If you don't like throwing money away, this keyboard will not disappoint.

Question 4

Is this programmable to be red and have a wave effect?

Accepted Answer

No, this version only has green light. For more colors you need to get the Chroma version. This version can do the wave and other lighting effects, but only with green light.
