i use the quickfire pro w/browns

aesthetically, the key font looks a little weird, kind of like the font Razer uses, definitely a little more "busy" looking than the 6GV2. the half backlit functionality is actually really nice considering it didn't add to the cost at all, and it's pretty nifty when you're playing in the dark and you don't know where your hand is. the keyboard is a lot more enjoyable to type on than the 6GV2, my fingers would feel very uncomfortable after a couple hours on the black switches.

probably the best thing about it was the 70$ price, which was about 30$ cheaper than the 6GV2. that being said, i didn't get this keyboard to replace the 6GV2, i got a quickfire rapid with red switches and just wanted to try out the tactile switches so i got the quickfire pro.

Was wondering if someone in the know could recommend me a replacement for this keyboard http://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=leopold,tenkeyless&pid=fc200rtab# (the FC200RT/AB). I want something that feels the same but has the added numpad on the side. I recently dumped a whole lot of liquid into my FC200RT and it's not working well anymore so I need to get something new. Preferably from somewhere that ships to Canada for reasonable rates, some of the DAS and coolermaster boards look good I just don't know what some of the features mean (soft pressure, click pressure, etc). I know it's got Brown switches but other than that I'm not sure what's good to get so I'm hoping someone here can recommend me something that could take my Leopold's spot.

EDIT: I've been considering this board: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823129003 (Cooler Master CM Storm QuickFire Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard CherryMX Brown Switch USB) any thoughts on this guy?

thx!

Does anyone know if it's possible to buy flatter keycaps for mechanical keyboards? So that they are closer to the base of the keyboard, like you see often on laptops. Not as flat though, obviously, but just closer to the base of the board.

Can someone who owns the newest batch of Das Keyboards tell me if they now ship with PBT caps as opposed to ABS? Looking at the website and interested in getting another board - cannot tell if they are ABS or PBT and there is no mention in the specs.

Alternatively I'll just pick up a Leopold or a Key Cool 87, which also ships with PBT on order.

I'm fickle, now.

Is it just me or is it impossible to find a full size Ducky Shine II (DK9008) with Brown Cherry MX switches anywhere? I have checked seemingly everywhere and all I can find is "Out of Stock" for all backlit colors. I am not too picky but I would prefer blue or yellow/orange? (not sure if there is a difference) as the backlit color. Can someone explain why almost every model of the Ducky Shine II is out of stock except for the Red Cherry MX switches (I don't want Red, I want Brown, and I will settle for Blue if I absolutely have to)? And does anyone know where I could find them in stock? I would prefer not to use a resale website because I would be afraid of unreliable sellers.

Also, a nice little website I found, not sure if it has been posted before or not, but it is good for deciding on what type of switch is good for you and I highly recommend anyone new to mechanical keyboards to look at this before buying: http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/mechanical_switches.php

Das hasn't had PBT caps and if they suddenly decided to use them I would have thought they would have made a bit of a fanfare about it, Das being so good at marketing. So I would assume they still aren't PBT, not sure if they are ABS though I remember some Ripster test being inconclusive.



They look much like this don't they? So buy whatever keyboard you wish a throw a set of these on it.
