EPTI can definitely say that from now on I'll never buy non-60% keyboard. My filco now feels gigantic and uncomfortable in comparison :D I don't game anymore, so if you do, it may be problematic due to some key needed more keypresses like F1 would need to press 2 keys together, etc. Other than that it's superb keyboard.

I had the rosewill one with browns before which was lovely but kinda loud when you bottom out. Trying to keep it <100$ as well. Scrolling through top rated ones on newegg in my price range in the meantime to see if anything jumps out at me. For bottoming out you can use o-rings which removes sound of bottoming out. I currently use mx reds with 40A-R blue rings and it's just perfect. It reduces little bit of travel distance and keyboard is extremely quiet.

I like my Race S being a 75% keyboard - but it does make keycaps a bit more annoying to deal with due to the odd keycap sizes for the modifiers. Yeah, depends on your needs, for gaming it may be inefficient. Btw, Poker II has standart cherry key cap size just like my Filco. | ||

I was tempted but I like my function keys too much to go full on Poker. That being said I am using a Noppoo Choc Mini at work and Leopold TKL at home. | ||

TKL is the way to go imo. I am not a fan of those massive wrist rests on the other two boards. | ||

Rosewill. Or wait a few weeks and get the new Corsair K70 with rgb LEDs. | ||

I've found a couple on that site, but they'll be in stock 30.9. Anyone knows where can i get them faster or i just have to wait and hope i'll e able to order faster than other people? Also, what is the difference between mionix and ducky? Read some positive things about mionix, but never used them. They offer really nice costumability so i'm looking also into them. Can anyone answer this from the end of the last page? I had the same question - have been looking for ducky shine 3 but can't find any in stock. Also, how do you know when the re-stock date is? | ||

Any suggestions for a similar keyboard (sub $100, Browns)? Or a place that might have the Quickfire in stock? | ||

Keys are dead silent if you dont bottom out and even if you do still very quiet, perfect for the office. Also I see why cherry reds are called clouds of boobs hahaha. So delightful to type on. | ||

The only criteria are to look as plain as possible. Nothing with colours, lights, extra dials/buttons. Just plain black mechanical keyboard, preferably no highly visible logo (or logo that can be rubbed off). Goal to resemble regular work keyboard as much as possible. Same for mouse. Suggestions? | ||

If the only criteria is the default look and not price, then I'd recommend any of the following: Vortex Poker II (~$105) for a 60% keyboard (quite popular right now) Keycool 87 (~$90) or KUL ES-87 (~$120) or Filco Majestouch 2 TKL (~$120) for 75% keyboards WASD v2 (~$150) or Filco Majestouch 2 (~$150) for fullsize keyboards. I can also sell you my -barely used- steelseries 6Gv2 for ~$80. But it does have a clear logo on the front. | ||
