I'm not sure if you have a Fry's Electronics in your area but you can get these unbranded (no ugly logos) for $60. I bought an MX blue board and it's comprable (except the key caps) to my much more expensive filco. I think these are great boards for the price.

There's no real objective way to determine which is best. Mechanical keyboards only real advantage is feeling. Speaking as a former running athlete it's kind of like running shoes, yeah a shoe can be advertised that it's scientifically proven to be the best for running performance and whatever. But it's all completely meaningless if it's uncomfortable for you. I've ran track races with running flats instead of spikes because the spikes would make my feet blister and feel like shit, and I get better PR's because of it.

Even though I'm using an MX Brown, I didn't have any problems using MX Red switches because they felt nice and light to me compared to the MX Blacks which I hated because my fingers felt they were "heavier". I actually still break out the MX Red because it's still an enjoyable feeling even without the bump.

It was the CM storm pro or whatever the fullsize CM is called. That one had a white case, dunno if they are ever going to be produced.

Filco keycaps are actually pretty terrible. Mine started showing signs of wear only 5-6 months after purchase. QFR has some reliability issues though with the left alt sometimes giving out, aside from that they are pretty comparable from what i've seen.

I just got my daskeyboard, its my first mechanical and omfg.
The sound, the feel, and the weight, the caseing is increadible.
The only down side is that keycaps are blank.

I do..

I chose blank over having letters because you can usually feel them on the keys and i like blank smooth keycaps better, the only problem is if you want to switch layout to Dvorak or something - but then again having qwerty lettered keycaps you would either be screwed or have to re-arrange all of them anyway

It is a good keyboard, and you cant go wrong with brown switches imho, however, i went with a Leopold because i disliked the CM themed establishments on the quickfire.

The Qpad MK-50 is available with any common switch and costs 75€. They don't ship to Spain from their shop (only Germany I think) but you can usually find some on ebay for like 85€ incl. shipping. Or if you know someone from Germany they can order it and send it to you.

Hey TL guys,

I've been thinking about buying a new mechanical keyboard , after my Razer Blackwidow broke the 4 Button just doesn't register doubletaps anymore but I don't know why.

So I think I want to buy the Qpad MK-50 with brown switches. Do you think it's a good choice , does anyone have experience with that keyboard? And do you think the brown switches are good for RTS ?

Thank you bros

Life uses Qpad himself, so they should be okay I personally just love Ducky.

And yes, MX Browns are good for RTS. I have tried all of them, and I prefer the "softness" of Browns for quick gaming. However, you should know that every person preferes their Switch type. If you have a chance to try them first, do it so.

Ok, so I might be looking for a new keyboard, I'm not exactly sure. But I don't want it to be clicky since I live with a roommate(and at my parents house during some weekends ^^), so no blue switches I guess. I'm the most interested in black keys, but everyone seems to steer people away from them for some reason. Why is that? And also what's a good mechanical keyboard with black switches for relatively cheap? I want to pay ~$100 or less if possible.
