Leopold FC660M VS Vortex Race 3

[Pavilions]

Which one would you get and why I want to get it with either the brown switches or red but probably brown but I don't know which one is better? for people who tried both or anyone?

Which one do you prefer?
What type of switch do you have?
Do you do a lot of typing?

NOTE: I don't care about gaming at all only for typing and everyday use.

From my personal experience brown is easier for typing, so if you don't game then I'd say get brown.  Red is great for gaming, typing on red takes a little bit of time to get used to.

As for between the 2 keyboard, my vote is Leopold FC660M.

It's cleaner also the gap between the insert/delete cluster is actually good for muscle memory.  I typically don't like it when they cram too many keys next to each other.

I agree the Race board look is very cluttered.  I love the look and the layout of the Leopold.  I have yet to try it.  I do like the dedicated F row though. It's not hard to access through a function layer, but it's nice to actually have it included for once.

If you only use it for typing, maybe consider looking into the FC660C instead?

I'd take Topre over MX brown or reds any day of the week.

For typing, definitely Topre > the rest.  So I'd agree FC660C is a great option.

For gaming I'd give the edge to MX Brown / MX Red.

.. if you have not tried Topre Switches before.might wanna try some... for me Its too light and mushy (45/55g).

I prefer MX Browns, they have a bit of a tactile bump and feel sharper. .. 

On the other than, I have 4 Vortex Race 3s. Brown/Blue/Clear... I just love the Function row and the compact design...

I sold my RealForce 55g and HHKB Pro 2 just a few days after use... I really liked the feeling of HHKB Pro 2 but I need more keys...
