yeah but they give an estimated delivery time of minimum 2 months. my cousin has one and a half month before leaving US. there are some other sellers but their price is higher or some negative comments kick in. I am looking for alternatives. If I can't find any other trustworthy and reasonably priced seller, I will have to go with these sellers on amazon, or with rapid-i...

Hey, I've a pretty shot-in-the-dark question, but I wondered if anyone has had any luck with getting hold of a Ducky dk9008 g2pro with a nordic layout? This is the single most amazing keyboard I've ever had(little experience though) and I'd love to get hold of a new one. Please, if you have a suggestion for another great browns + PBT caps with nordic layout though, please tell. There are no budget limits

EDIT:

Hi, I posted earlier, but it might have gotten a bit lost...
I am looking for a MX Browns keyboard that is tenkeyless and white does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks!

I'm actually also looking for a TKL brown switch keyboard ... preferably from a well-known/reliable company rather than a niche one.

Hey, I'm not super qualified for this but I believe http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=215 has pretty much the same build quality(or better) and is cheaper. So unless you really want the Shine, think this is better. Also heard good stuff about the Zowie Celeritas if you can find that one

Those two are basically the same board. The Shine 3 with backlighting is the more expensive one (and has a few additional features that probably doesn't matter to most users).

Do you have any idea if the backlighting makes maintaining the keyboard or cleaning or replacing keys that much more complicated or harder?

I can't imagine there being any real difference for cleaning at least. The normal switch has a spot prepared where the LED will end up if a keyboard manufacturer chooses to use those. Perhaps you can see what I mean in this picture:

http://i.imgur.com/Vc5suxd.png

So there's not really any difference with the key caps and removing them for cleaning. Things work exactly the same as on a normal MX keyboard.

The keycaps of a normal keyboard will also fit on a keyboard with backlighting, but they will not let the light shine through, and that's why you will not want to use normal keycaps. You will need some sort of special keycaps instead, something where the lettering will be see-through for the light, or perhaps the whole keycap made out of some sort of clear plastic.

Another thing that might theoretically happen is that the switch can be installed with the spot for the LED at its top side or bottom side. That might make a difference with keycaps.

All of that isn't important if you know you will never change keycaps.

It won't really make cleaning or replacing keys harder. What it will make harder is if one LED dies, because then you'll have to desolder it off the board. Or not use the backlighting at all.

I used to have a Leopold 10-keyless MX-Brown that I loved, but it decided to stop working

Now I'm in Singapore and am looking for a MX Brown keyboard, 10 key or not really doesn't matter to me.

Does anyone have any good places to purchase a mechanical keyboard from?

What are the go to recommendations for a full sized (105 key, uk + Show Spoiler +
Like this, but + numpad
[image loading]
), reliable brown switches keyboard?

All the recommendations i can find in the thread are for smaller/compact keyboards, which seem to be missing a collumn of keys left of the enter/backspace row.

Any good, relatively affordable, full sized keyboards around? Don't care about backlight or programming or anything, just want something reliable and decent for gaming/coding/typing

I'm in the uk right now, but i'm leaving for denmark again tuesday evening, (according to amazon i can order from them in the next 20 hours and get it by monday.)

Could someone suggest a good cheap mechanical keyboard for a starter user? I've looked at things before and I have no preference towards switch types or anything like that yet but I'd like to buy a keyboard. So I thought it best to ask here, since there are people who'd probably suggest better things than I would be able to find looking alone. The only requirement is that I have to be able to buy it from amazon.co.uk or another website that ships to Bulgaria.

Cheapest, quality board I own is a Quick Fire Rapid from Cooler Master.

So I finally managed to take home a completely new, unused fujitsu 4725 keyboard that I've had my eye on at school for ages now. Typing on it now feels amazing but I might stick with my browns and keep this just to be a pack rat

have to say, the more keyboards I own, the smaller size they get :D
I am still hoping someone or some companies would release a full green switch 60% (man, it cost so much to change the switch ourselves)

But it's hard to play SC2 on a 60%.
Anyone got some workaround for hotkeys?

I have ~ key for my camera base hotkey (which is crucial for injects and everything else for all race) and since esc key is there now, my temporary solution is to set sec as camera base hotkey, and backspace for cancel.

anyone else got other recommendation how they play on a 60%?
If I find a better solution, I can retire my TKL since I am not liking the red switch so much.

My experience with the Zowie Celeritas has been very good, and I definitely recommend it. Having said that, I have little experience with other brown switch keyboards.
