So as the title states, I finally got my bonus at work, and I was going to use some of this money on a new KB.
With that stated I currently own and am using my model M, but I also have a Cherry Compaq w/ Browns and an ALPS white. I like the browns and I like the BS in the IBM but at times the BS are just way to loud.
So I am looking at getting either a DAS Silent, but I am confused is the reg model Cherry Blues and the Silent is Browns or they all browns or blues. I am also interested in the XArmor, has back-lighting but blues and is roughly the same price as DAS. I know the DAS is a pretty solid KB but I hate the aweful polished case. I was going to pursue the college discount for either KB and doesn't that put it right around ~100?
My 3rd and 4th option was either a Rosewill or a cheap 10keyless off of Taobao w/ browns ~100-200.
The dilemma I am in is that I like browns and my BS, but have never tried blues. I also wanted to go back to something a little quieter.
Lastly if i go with DAS/Xarmor in the spring i was going to buy a Leopold from EK when/If they get them in stock.
What can yall recommend based off of quality/feel?
