Just remember to give time to your 6Gv2 if you havent tried black keys yet, they WILL be heavy and "hard" to press but give it a week or two and you will love it.

Will do! I look forward to using that thing once I purchase it!

I confess that the cherry blues I am using are on the Razer Black Widow, so perhaps that could be my reasoning for not liking the blues. Either way, it seems that Blacks are what I am looking for. I do want the more solid keys as it were. Worst comes to worst, I sell the 6Gv2 and buy the Filco. I got plans for this sort of thing it would seem!

I have a limited edition blue Filco keyboard with Cherry blues and it works a treat. I have a friend with a Black Widow Ultimate and he praises that keyboard aswell. I highly rec Filco if anyone has the bank to afford one.

Hey guys, a question about Cherry blues...
I want a mechanical keyboard for next year, but I'm going to be living with others in an apartment.
Would the clicks be loud for people on the other side of my door? It's hard to gauge how loud they are based on Youtube vids

I've got browns and they can get pretty loud. People on Skype complain.... But that is not an answer to EXACTLY what you are asking.... If I try to keep it down and not fully depress the keys it's tolerable though.

I'm going to assume that the blues are about as loud as the bottom-out of the browns, except twice as frequent if you also hit the bottom.

Depends on the person, but my blues are quite loud, and the door to my room definetely does not remove the sound. I would recommend browns. They are just like blues just without the sound.

Blues are way more loud that browns, but both click way, way more than a rubber dome keyboard would if you bottom them out like i do.

Maybe if they are standing right outside your door. Otherwise i don't think so, unless you use very heavy keystrokes.I have a majestouch with blues and I love it.

For what it's worth, I have an adesso with cherry blues at home and they are loud as fuck and I don't really like them much. Meanwhile I have a das keyboard model s professional silent with brown switches and it is awesome and I love it. They're not even in the same league volume-wise. Both are better than membrane keyboards though obviously.

It's still pretty loud if you're constantly bottoming out the keys (ie during gaming)

What I've essentially researched is:

You live with people who care about noise: Brown. If not: Blue.
You are someone who cares about noise: Brown. If not: Blue.

You can afford $200+: Realforce
You can afford $100+: Filco
You can afford <$100: Ducky/Leopold

Filco vs Celeritas:
Filco is minimalistic (aesthetic)
Filco has keys that go shiny due to wear in a month (aesthetic)
Filco has keys that do not fade generally (aesthetic)
Filco does not have any bonus function apart from being a keyboard (function)
Filco does not have a large front bezel (aesthetic/ergonomics)
Filco comes in Blue, Brown, Red, Black, Clear switches
Filco comes in Majestouch Tenkeyless, Non-Tenkeyless, Ninja, Non-Ninja, Majestouch 2, Majestouch 1

Filco vs Das Keyboard:
Das has a different font etc. (aesthetic)
Das has bonus features i.e. USB2.0 ports etc. (function)
Das comes in Brown and Blue switches
Das has keys that do have printed keycaps, and black keycaps
Das has 3 variants to Filco's many variants.

Filco vs Ducky/Leopold:
Ducky has more shaky Quality Control
Ducky has a detachable USB cord (maintainability)
Ducky has a different font face (aesthetic)
Leopold has all of these.
Leopold has an Otaku version, with blank keycaps
Both Leopold and Filco are sold at EliteKeyboards
Ducky has had some problems with their special OCN edition keyboard

TLDR:
Filco if you can afford it.
If not, you may run into problems with quality control.

I'm still waiting for my Filco German Edition but I'm thinking about to cancel that order and get a Zowie Celeritas.

Waiting or buying a Zowie? :-/

I have a black widow and it's great, only thing that annoys me are the macro keys on the side since i'm used to have the control + shift keys at the edge of the keyboard. I guess it'll take some getting used to.

Decided i'd like to buy a mechanical keyboard myself (currently using a UltraX). After holding down certain factors I nailed my decision down to 1 keyboard, the Filco Majestouch with Brown switches. However my ownly question thus far is where does peoples preference lay here with the 104 or tenkeyless version. The tenkeyless would give me more mousespace and for the games i'm currently playing the numpad is not used at all. However it is a part of keyboard i'm used to having, and it "looks" more natural in my opinion.

Would like some advice and some personal storys of people that have been in the same stage of picking what to do. I've read the previous comments and other websites about this same issue, wassen't really convinced yet tho' and mostly it diden't really relate towards my own state.

Thanks in advance!

To relate back to my previous post, i've ordered a Filco Majestouch NKR Tactile Tenkeyless USA keyboard, should arrive at the end of next week if i'm lucky, looking forward to it

Arrived today as a redelivery (the first attempt according to the track and trace was on saturday 05:34 A.M... diden't really took that in count). Loving it thus far, don't get where people have to get used to tho'.. worked out flawless for me from the start. Might report back later after I got some more experience but I can definatly recommend it to people thus far, got the Tenkeyless with Browns btw.
