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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
