I feel like they could have put some sort of instructions in the box for it. Was really confused when I tried it out in SC2 and my F keys weren't working lol. There is still the ESC key that controls the nkey rollover and stuff. I don't really understand it, and I don't know if its useful for SC2 so I guess I will just ignore it for now. Also, kinda glad I got Red switches, even they are kinda loud to me lol. Surprised these are considered quiet keys, Blues could probably be heard throughout my house T_T I would've preferred a blue backlight like my old Saitek but the backlight is still pretty good and the options are pretty cool. So far, very happy. Will have to see how I adjust in SC2 with it though in the coming days. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/74DoeRP.jpg) | ||

Also yes the TK is more compact. It's the keyboard style that offers the same tenkeys that you would get out of a full-sized keyboard, but get the compactness of a TKL (tenkeyless) keyboard too. The tenkeys is the set of keys on the right side of the keyboard. Mechanical switches are definitely not quiet, but out of the main four types reds are considered quieter, but it doesn't mean that you can still hear them when you bottom out. I've stressed this statement to people in this thread that if you need a quiet keyboard for whatever reason you should stick to a regular keyboard instead. | ||

Yeah, guess that makes sense. I actually like more compact keyboards so thats why I went for it. Didn't realize that first about the right side of the keyboard, but it makes sense now as it squeezes in what would normally be inbetween and number pad and the letter keys into the number keys (like my arrow keys are part of it, which isnt a big deal as I rarely use arrow keys anyways. It's just a different layout. Well, they aren't that loud I guess, probably around the same as my old keyboard. I have a habit of bottoming out my keys though so of course they are gonna be louder when I do that, I think over time I won't be doing that as I get used to it. I still really like the reds for SC2, they have been working well for me so far. I don't end up having hotkeys not registering because I didn't bottom out the key completely like in a regular keyboard. My fingers in general feel a lot less stressed after some games of SC2 which is definitely good. | ||

ANSI layout, not looking for funky colors, 87 or 104 keys, Cherry stabilizers. (for Leopold FC200; Caps Lock / Scroll Lock LEDs being hidden are not a concern for me) | ||

some people have gotten their PBT caps and delivered cheap, others claim they didn't receive any product at all. | ||

I personally regretted going from blue to brown when my Filco died. They're not quiet and they're not that enjoyable to type/play on as Blues are imo. | ||
