How is Das compared to Filco? Definately considering getting a Das considering elitekeyboards has been out of stock for a while now, plus they're selling for about $30 less. | ||

http://www.adesso.com/en/home/keyboards/mechanical-keyboard/250-mkb-135b.html ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/da8yC.jpg) I highly recommend this keyboard as a substitute to the Das Keyboard. I could not find the actual specs on the website, however from the above link, it appears that this keyboard does indeed use Cherry MX Blue switches. From my personal experience, this is an excellent keyboard for the price ($70), compared to the Das Keyboard being over $100. Give it a try, I don't think you guys will regret it :-) | ||

 I honestly don't know what I'm going to do now. I had only really planned on getting such an expensive keyboard if it was the much lauded, durable Filco, but I'm clearly going to have to do some more research and figure out what is next best. Anyone in a similar situation found anything yet? I briefly tapped on a Razer BlackWidow when I was last at Fry's and the Cherry Blues didn't seem as loud as I had heard, so I've been considering them again a little. | ||

Definately considering getting a Das considering elitekeyboards has been out of stock for a while now, plus they're selling for about $30 less. For the german folks out there: getdigital is selling some of those in their ebay shop. The keyboards seem to be returned items, but the auctions say if there are any technical errors. I got an "Das Keyboard Model S Ultimate EU" (blue switches, layout fitting all EU keyboard layouts, non printed keys) for 55€. The packaging was opened previously but the keyboard is in flawless condition. | ||

If you look at the last few pages, you'll see some posts, mainly by CaptainFwiffo and I, about the keyboard that EliteKeyboards is going to replace the Filco with. It's a brand called Leopold, and many of the people working there are the ones that originally designed the Filco. According to the trusty gurus at GeekHack, the Leopold is going to be very much like the Filco but actually has many improvements. So far we only know about the Tenkeyless version, and the only possible drawback that there is (beside not being a "Filco" if you're into that "designer brand" type of thing) is that the tenkeyless board is one inch wider than the Filco one. No one is really sure why at the moment, but we're all optimistic, especially since the Leopold is supposed to be sold at EliteKeyboards for a bit cheaper than the Filco. Hope this gets everyone else feeling as optimistic as it did me! | ||

Anyone having experiences with the Cherry g80-3000 http://www.cherry.de/01publikationstest06/english/products/keyboards_G80-3000.htm ? Just found it in a shop for around 50€ and it seems like a cheap alternative to the other more expensive mechanical keyboards. Also i'm not sure yet which version has which kind of switches. I guess the LQC versions have the mx brown switches, but i'm still not sure. Maybe someone can help me with my decision which keyboard to buy ... i would appreciate that | ||

http://www.cherry.de/01publikationstest06/english/products/keyboards_G80-3000.htm If you look at that, you can see that there are 3 different switch types. If you look at the order number column: eg. G80-3000LPCCH-0 You can see that each of the different models has a different number. The 3 letters after the 3000 denote what switch the keyboard has G80-3000LPCCH-0 LPC - Cherry Black LQC - Cherry Clear (Similar to Cherry Browns except with higher activation energy 55g vs 40g LSC - Cherry Blue IIRC there are no G80-3000 that have cherry browns, though G80s are generally made to order based. If you see LXC that could either mean Cherry Reds (Cherry Blacks with lower activation energy) or Cherry Browns. | ||
