Ninja TKL Browns just arrived! I'm surprised at the lack of tactile feedback. The keys feel almost identical to the blacks just lighter. More of what I expected the reds to feel like.

This is why ergo clears have been so popular lately; as DangWang and I have agreed upon, ergo clears are what we expected browns to feel like.  

I still like browns, but it's been hard to convince myself to type on anything but my ergo clear board lately!

Browns feel a lot like Reds with some gunk stuck in them slightly slowing them down. I'm curious about Blues these days as they (and clears) are the only cherrys I have not tried.

I really like blues, but they just don't have the feel of Buckling Spring that I really enjoy. The other thing that I don't like about blues is that they are very easy to press and I prefer the greater resistance that BS gives. I do hope in the near future that I will be able to try greens! Allegedly those are the closest to BS one can get to with Cherry MX.

Oh wow so even the Blues are too easy to press eh? That is my problem with Reds. That is unfortunate to hear, I guess I should stick to my old dell mechanical 8]

I can definitely see why the Browns are so popular and why that ergo clear mod would be so popular as well. It's a great mix of blue and black. Now if I can just grad one of the reds from this shipment I'll have a blue, brown, red and black! :)

I think I'm going to wait for the TKL though..... tempting.

It updated at 2pm ET on Monday as well. So maybe we'll only see updates then.

Woah mang! You should call and blame Amazon. They are the ones who split the shipment amongst four different warehouses...

I soul searched and cancelled the 104 Ninja Reds, I want to wait for the TKL version. I have my TKL Ninja Browns to hold me over. Then I can try both and pick a fav without losing the TKL format.

No kidding.

I've been waking up at 3:30, 5:30, and 7:30 AM for the past week to see if the new keyboards are in stock so I can get my hands on one.  Time zones are pretty rough, but the sacrifices we make for the things we love...

I hope you guys get your white ninja's. I am looking for any TKL, but preferably a white one. Doesn't have to be ninja, since I don't use stock keycaps on any of my keyboards. However, I am paring down my collection, so if I add another keyboard, I'll need to sell two. :)

New product just showed up on the store front... but I'm not sure which one since it wasn't one of the product codes I was monitoring. I think it was this though: FKBN104ML/EFB2 (black case, 104 key, black switches, ninja)
