"Modern" Cherry MX Browns
« on: Wed, 10 November 2010, 16:59:28 »
I've been looking around for "modern" Cherry MX Brown keyboards that are ~$130 or less, and I've really only seen Das, Filco, and iRocks. Among these, iRocks is the cheapest.. But it has a crappy layout and is out of stock in most places. I was wondering if there were any other Cherry MX Brown keyboards that look, excuse me for saying this, "cool." I'm aware of the Compaq MX 11800s and various other Cherry boards; but these are so large and often times old.

In terms of Cherry MX Blue, there's the iOne Scorpius and Razer Blackwidow.. Both that seem somewhat appealing (overlooking the early poor construction of the iOne's and its possibly lower build quality still today) - I was wondering if there were "modern" Cherry MX Brown keyboards <$100 that I was unaware of.
