Does anyone have the feeling that a 104-key keyboard makes your hands too far apart?
I'm currently using a 104 brown filco and I'm getting that sensation. Thinking of getting a tenkeyless variant with perhaps red/blue switches for a change.
Anyone else had/have this sensation and plan to/have already tried it out?
Yeah i can agree with that sensation. I'll be getting a tenkeyless sometime later this year probably.

Well personally I could never get a keyboard without a numpad because it makes it so easy to type numbers in but to each their own I guess

Does anyone know any shops in the UK that I could go in and try out some mechanical keyboards?
Really struggling to decide between blue and brown switches, and whether the Blackwidow would be good enough,.. and would love to try some out to help me decide, as no matter how many videos and reviews I see I just can't quite make a decision.
Thanks.

In the swedish stores that sells Ducky keyboards the Purple LED ones are MX Black and the White LED is MX Brown. ^^
Ordered it online since theres absolutely no place here to test out anything but crap switches I don't want. A store might have 1, maybe 2 mechanical keyboards if they have any at all and those are going to have switches no one in their right mind would want anyway. So I had to order it online, I wanted backlights and I decided to get purple ones to be different.
I'm a tiny bit bummed that they didn't have any purple LEDs with the Asian character caps. They work/look the same as English keys but also had Japanese or Chinese characters on the keys, just some extra flavor that would have been neat but I made up my mind on what I wanted and that wasn't an option.
Supposedly it should be here tomorrow (didn't know fedex delivered on Saturday), the o-rings and key puller came today from WASDkeyboards. Hopefully tomorrow I can toss up a little review =)

Just came here to say; MX clears are awesome. They are like browns, only more present. If you get what I mean.

Yeah i agree it does look awesome with japanese characters on.
Im thinking about maybe buying some o-ring from wasd aswell and maybe some coloured keys. Because i don't know any place in Sweden or near Sweden that sells separate coloured keys.

Can someone tell me where I can get a 6gv2 Red Edition in Canada?

Wish i could help you with that. I have one myself but it seems like they are currently only sold in Scandinavia.
Wait a while and maybe it will be released worldwide. This keyboard is too good to only be sold in Scandinavia. More people need it's awesomeness!

Yeah I dont even get why they released whole steelseries series with black keys, they are like red but harder to press wtf :D

Hi, I'm interested in finding an iOne Xarmor backlit with blue switches. I remember seeing them a couple months ago but now it looks like they are harder to find. (not to mention being bought out by qpad I believe) Anyone know where to still find the iOne/Xarmor keyboards?

Yeah, it looks slick. Sucks WASD doesn't have any backlit keycaps or I'd change some out. Once the TL store goes back up I wanna grab a TL keycap.

What is the feel of Red switches like? Are they stiff to press? What sort of sound do they make?
|
I thought it was just a hype but... Filco Majestouch 2 TKL MX Brown is godly. Goes well with Day9 keycap :D

Hmmm...I'm having a bug with the WASD website where I can't add any item to my cart.
Thoughts?

Clean out cache, cookies, temp files, etc. If that fails, I suggest talking to WASD about it.

Qpad and mionix have done similar designs for their keyboards. If you can't find iOne's check those other manufaturers.

Yes. I had a membrane keyboard for my entire life. A few months ago I switched to my current CM Storm QF TKL. It was SUCH a big difference at first. I couldn't stand not being able to use my right number key pad that I used to have. Although I got used to it after two weeks and using the numbers above the letters are pretty easy now. The only time I use a membrane is for Dota now, when I have to use those number keys on the right for items in my inventory. Honestly though I can say now that I really do enjoy the TKL feel. My hands feel closer and for some reason it feels more right when gaming. I don't know why exactly. Plus I have more room on my desk now for food and beverages haha.
