Hi,
I'm looking to snag a new board for work and need some opinions. At home, I've been using a Rosewill RK‑9000V2 (Cherry MX Blue) for the past few years and and I really like it. Here are my stipulations:
1) No bells and whistles: I don't care for back-lighting, macros, knobs, etc. I just want a plain, full-sized black keyboard with black keys and white legends.
2) Gotta have the Cherry MX Blues.
3) Looking for PBTs out of the box, but I could settle for ABS if they're nice.
4) Price < $200.
5) Compatible with 40A-R O-rings.
Here's what I've been thinking so far:
1) Buy another Rosewill but replace stock keys with ABS. (Estimated price ~$130-140)
2) Filco Majestouch-2 (doesn't have PBT's and costs around $140 but apparently is the nicer version of the Rosewill?)
3) This Leopold FC980M ($119) :
https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=2823 (Comes with PBT's but non-standard key caps?... Not sure if I'd replace the keys anyways. Cheaper than the other options though)
Out of my options, which is the best? And are there any other boards meeting my requirements you could recommend me? Thanks!
