You likely won't be able to get them for $40 (at least online). Two/three years ago maybe, but not now. $50 may be doable.

looks like another filco clone. hopefully with a similarly competitive price point as the QFR.

I just picked my Cherry MX Red today and, like you, I love it. The only exception is the key layout. I hate this old-school layout with the huge enter key and shortened shift key. Is it possible to change the key layout or perhaps remove the \ key and use a normal length shift key?

Define normal, ANSI? That'd require desoldering the switches, and even that might not work if the board has a plate.

Does this have as good a build quality as the QFR TKL?

QFR and if my assumption is correct the QFXT are the highest quality and highest priced keyboards sold at a much lower cost branded as cooler master.

I honestly feel the good old rubber dome DT-35 beats the mecha keyboards. I'm not one that has to have an intellimouse 3.0 and all that. But I actually feel there is less problems with a DT-35. And a hell of a lot less miss-clicks.

I ve no personal experience with any switch thats why i ran into the local stores but well...now i gotta rely on u guys T_T;;

some sidenotes...i dont need any extra keys, i need a no fluff keyboard, no shiny extras and shit, if there is a "compact" keyboard that would be dandy, i actually dont need the numpad for example.

Are you in Japan or Europe? Prices vary quite a lot through regions.

Get a tenkeyless, CM quickfire rapid or TK, leopold fc700, maybe even filco will be cheap enough if you are in Japan.

Switch wise, brown is a good middle of the road switch. Otherwise just read guides and get what you think you will like.

There a Corsair k70? They are pretty nice.

The pro is the worst of the CM boards, its still functional but I would try find a quickfire rapid or TK.

Also if you really want to cut costs, try find one of the cherry keyboards. They are called g80-3000 or something like that and should be quite a lot cheaper than those options.

I've always been a big fan of steelseries equipment. They feel smooth and good enough for me. I've always been a 7g user for keyboard but the 6gv looks nice. The cherry one is good too. I prefer this steelseries 6gv Its actually on sale now. I know before it was $100+

Had to pay a shit ton of money for this Shine II in Finland, but looks like it was worth every penny. Personally feels like its lightyears ahead of my old 6Gv2.

highest quality for lowest cost. The regular grey casing can be a little ugly in some people's opinions, and the font they use for the keys get a lot of criticism but cosmetics aside it's a great buy.

you can also purchase the Stealth line which uses a jet black case and sleeker looking keys for a little more. The QFR Reds also uses the black casing.
