The Ducky Mini keyboard thats going to come out, thats not good to play sc2 on right as the F- Keys are the same as the 1-9 keys? so you cant use control groups and camera hotkeys?

Yeah. You might be able to get away with a pure layout but generally 60% are not good for gaming

Just got my 2nd mechanical keyboard. CM quickfire cherry mx blue's tenkeyless. I also have a full size filco brown. I really love the CM and how it feels with the blue's. I have 1 complaint however. It seems that the tabs that flip down to put the keyboard on an angle are slightly uneven. When both tabs are down it makes it so 1 side of the keyboard does not have its grip touching the table and therefore when any small bump or hitting of the F keys causes the keyboard to drift forward on the desk and you would have to constantly pull it back. I fixed the Issue by placing a credit card under the shorter tab and it sits even/solid now. Not the hugest deal but Just thought I would mention it.

Has anyone had this problem? Could also be the fact that it is a tenkeyless so it is lighter and perhaps not as solid
fucken eh

It may be two things Eazy:
1. Your desk is uneven
2. The keyboard is uneven

I've had an issue with one of my desks where my keyboard was uneven on one desk but even on all others. Try a different desk and check that out. If it's the keyboard that's the issue, you might be able to RMA it for another if you explain the issue to CM. I'm not sure if they would replace it though, but I'm assuming yes.

You can grab the board by the sides or corners and gently twist in the proper direction. Usually remedies it, it should be more obvious with the feet closed I would think as well.

Anyone recommend me to a Green LED backlit keyboard that isn't Razer? Lol. I know Ducky just released the Shine 3, but if there is a cheaper route that's just as reliable, I'll take it.

For a friend.

Hey guys, I have a Leopold Brown Tenkeyless, but I'm finding it a bit too "mushy." My friend's CM Storm Trigger Brown is reportedly more clickier than mine, so I'm thinking about getting a keyboard with Cherry MX Clear. Does anyone know where to get one for around $100-150 besides for the Ducky DK9008G2 Pro below?

http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=466

Also, are Clear switches being discontinued? TIA.

As the above poster said, this works. I have done this to my quickfire and the feet are level after a little twist in the right direction.

They're not being discontinued they are just not ordered a lot, or in as large of quantities from Cherry.

Currently the WASD keyboard v2 is available with clears, as well as the ducky you are aware of. Cooler Master has mentioned they may do a limited run of clears probably in the QFR

Clears are still being produced afaik, but are pretty rare as they aren't popular. WASD keyboards is now doing clears, but only with tenkeyless for now and Ducky is the only major company that makes clears I can think of atm.

Noppoo choc mini has F-keys directly above the numbers. Otherwise get a leopold fc700 from PCCG and be a kespa pro not a foreigner.

Thank for the responses, I was not aware that WASD had Clears. Unfortunately, it costs $160+ for Clears, so I may just wait it out.

Yeah leopold is just standard layout, choc mini is the choice if you want that close f-key row.

After almost a week with my new Filco Mejestouch-2 with Browns, I can definitely say I'm fully converted. Every now and then I try typing on my laptop keyboard again and I'm like, 'how was I ever used to this?!'
