I bought the Blue first and used it for months before I decided to try the Brown. The Blue feels nicer to type on, and even lifts your mood when you type. However, I find that the Brown boosts my SC2 performance more(the Blue does too but not as much). The Brown just feels much more accurate when I need to be faster with my keys. I'm not as 'confident' when using the Blue(I have to look @ the screen to make sure that my fast actions were registered) - I assume it's because the Blue actuates too fast. Just wanted to share my experience. TLDR; Blue = Ultimate typing keyboard, Brown = Ultimate RTS keyboard. | ||

Filco, Ducky, Razer and SS all use the same type of plastic and they all have the same fading key cap problem. Yeah if you pay more for a filco/ducky/leopold you get a keyboard with a good build quality but there are no "extra" features on it when compared to a SS keyboard. | ||

I'm on a das right now but my budget would allow me to get a fully customized checkerboard which would be awesome. It would be a serious investment though. | ||

It would be a serious investment though. I just ordered a 104 set of blank white keycaps and a red Esc key from wasdkeyboards.com. I plain on checkering my Das Ultimate. I emailed the guys there and they said the keycap profile's the same so everything should work out great. You might wanna just get the keycaps instead of a whole new keyboard, you'll save some cash. On the other hand if you wanted to try different switches or something you could buy a keyboard from them with white keys and have TWO checkered keyboards.  | ||

Is this possible? would it be better for me to just buy a brand new keyboard? Yes this is possible. There are people that prefer cherry mx clears, but keyboards with them are rare and hard to find. Usually they aren't in good shape/desired form factor so people pop the clears out and put them in a different board. Even though it's possible, it may not be easy/profitable to do this. I have no idea how much key switches cost on their own. | ||

I have a 6gv2, and honestly, i wish i'd bought a keyboard that had brown switches. | ||

You'd need massive fingers for that to happen haha. It's almost entirely personal preference. Until you try them, you really have no idea, despite what someone recommends you. My recommendation is to try a black keyboard and a brown one and make your decision then. I didn't, and now im stuck with a keyboard that cost me $100 and that i'm probably going to end up replacing.

They feel a bit "lighter" but more precise and accurate then membrane keyboards. Blacks bottom out easily and they don't have any feel other then that. But I only tried a keyboard with blacks in a store really quick, maybe my judgment isn't too good on that. I want to try clears/blues...but these keyboards are pricey. | ||
