I'm really hoping that Steelseries branches out from the black switches, since they also have a great price point and I would like to try the raised key style over the flatter Razer boards. Get some brown switches, please, Razer and Steelseries!  | ||

![[image loading]](http://img01.taobaocdn.com/bao/uploaded/i1/T1mIRNXoVtXXXRklva_121835.jpg_310x310.jpg) Got this awesome chinese mechanical with cherry blacks yesterday in beijing for 500 RMB ($70) It's the exact same as the Steelseries compact keyboard but much cheaper. I pulled the black keys off my cherry keyboard and now i have black and white chequered like my dt-35 except on cherry blacks!!! my favorite keyboard yet. check out http://www.thenoppoo.com. best mechkeyboard i have found for the price. | ||

When you first start using it it may feel a bit off but now it completely outclasses rubber-dome keyboards. Seal of approval here.  I can't wait to get mine. Still no update from USPS! Its been like 2 and a half weeks! Any chance they forgot about me? | ||

I'm in rather the same boat as you, but I'm waiting for another month or so before getting it (partially so I don't feel too bad about having just bought my $75 Apple Wireless Keyboard around 50 days ago, lol). | ||

You'll definitely be pleasantly surprised when it arrives. | ||

Majestouch with MX Browns Tenkeyless with MX Browns And if you want to be really cool you can actually get one with Japanese kana for even less. **Note: I don't recommend this if you're just trying to be cool, the location of the apostrophe key will annoy you to no end. If anyone is interested and needs help using the japanese site just send me a message. edit: also found this thing with the infamous Cherry Red switches. You can also get the Majestouches with black switches but I can only seem to find the tenkeyless version with blue switches. | ||

![[image loading]](http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/I/41HU6PRAqrL.jpg) Amazon Japan has color options as well Still no blank-key option though. Waiting for a blank-key brown, red, or black. | ||

After I switched to mechanical keyboard I can't believe I have had so many plastic/membran crap keyboards. It's like going from Skoda car to Ferrari =) Not that it makes you a better driver but it sure as hell feels better :D | ||

I'm not sure if this would be of any interest to you guys but you can get Filco keyboards for considerably lower prices on the Japanese amazon site (amazon.co.jp) and they do ship internationally, although I'm not sure at what cost. For reference though a standard Majestouch is under $100 USD and a tenkeyless is $102 USD even with the absolutely abysmal exchange rate.

I guess I could be the middle man if someone is really hard up for one but it'd mean more waiting and probably higher shipping cost. | ||
