EPTNote: I am in love with the minimalist aspect of the non-printed, but it is by no means a deal breaker to find a better board for cheaper that has print.

The spacebar is really really.. hard to press, and dosent react as it should i assume. its like it does not really fit the board, and dosent have a click to it, like the rest of the keys. Thats the cherry stabilisers, you can try fix it by lubing it.

With shipping it's $112. I've done a lot of shopping around and have experience with mech. keyboards so I know this is what I want, but I just had to be sure and ask you all here if you know of any great deals on a tenkeyless keyboard of comparable/better quality and less $$$? Everything else that I've found and liked more/the same is much higher in price/not tenkeyless or is mini (with a compressed layout, not just chopped at ten key mark) Note: I am in love with the minimalist aspect of the non-printed, but it is by no means a deal breaker to find a better board for cheaper that has print. The CM quickfire rapid or CM quickfire TK might work out cheaper. Or if you can find a new leopold, an fc700. But I dunno how available these are in the US. | ||

There have already been quite a few posts about it from the previous pages. This may or may not happen to you, but the most common problem is the spacebar becomes "stiff" or "stuck" after a while. It's not a complete deterrent, but some would rather spend their money elsewhere to avoid that possibility. | ||

Got mine about a week ago, that thing is really heavy and seems quite rugged. Neat and precise typing and just a good overall feel. No problems whatsoever up to this point - even though I also read about the problem some have with the spacebar. However, if you expect a little more game gimmicks like macro keys and keys with backlight for that price I would get something else. I am quite happy with that functional approach. Looks good and typing is a pleasure  | ||

I'd go for the QFR unless you need the numberpad. RK-9000 with boards made after 2012 are no longer Costar. The V3.0 boards are still Costar but the V4.0 boards are branded "Nashville [numcode]" rather than "CST-NF[numcode]" ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/B8xWf1r.jpg) Made me a little sad when I opened mine up today for measuring  | ||

If not, I'm wondering whether to get a Logitech G710+, a Razer Black Widow, or some other mechanical keyboard with brown switches. It's really hard to decide- there are so many on the market. :/ | ||

Not really, there are cherry ML switches and a couple of keyboards use them but for the most part mechanical keyboards are very tall.

It's really hard to decide- there are so many on the market. :/ Das make a keyboard with lettering, they call it the professional or something like that. Logitech afaik is an ok but expensive choice, avoid black widows unless you can get them cheaper than a Rosewill. | ||

No, but the Quickfire Rapid Stealth that's coming out is using the lowest profile mechanical keyboard thing as a selling point. Maybe look into that. As far as low profile like a scizzor switch, they don't exist. | ||

Yeah, I agree the that actual cherry switch is a hard limitation on the height of a key. I'm just looking for "lower" profile keycaps. | ||

I never even knew they had boards like that! Interesting. Great for those who want mechanical and low profile. Where can you buy that though? | ||
