No browns. I feel as though I as was expecting this.

Carter said in one of these threads that there would be a delay on the mx brown version.
My wife I a also push her button . But now she have her button push by a different men. So I buy a keyboard a mechanicale, she a reliable like a Fiat.

Am I the only one think those font look very cool an sci fi ish?  Keep in mind I own a beige filco ninja so yes I do like simple keyboards.

Though I think those font only look nice when backlit, when it's pad printed / lasered it look a bit too big.

The font does look kinda sci-fi, but imho not appropriate for a keyboard.

Plus, the media symbols, is it?, on the Fn keys reminds me of keyboards from the 80s where you had chunky graphics characters on them.

Plus, on the keyboard linked above, did you notice that ctrl, alt and win keys are all different sizes?
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

You won't feel the lettering.  They are normally translucent keys dye-subbed black where light should not shine through.

Where is the best place to check on updates for the release of the MX Brown version in North America? Looking to move over to my first mechanical, and the Ducky 9008S2 seems to be out of stock everywhere (at least in white LED with brown switches).

You have found the right place, I would have your answer....

At this point in time is comes down to one thing. We are waiting to sell out of a certain QTY in other regions before I can bring in the browns. Despite what many think, its not the shortage in brown switches that are causing TK delay.

The current TK Brown edition shipping globally has a "Brown Backplate" & when the initial material forecast is used up, it will switch to a "White Backplate" @ that point in time, I will bring it in to the US market.

Time frame is looking like Jan

Almost there...

Now, just slap a volume roller-knob and some macro keys on the left side, and we're golden.  :cool:

Oh, and let me swap between purple and green backlighting. Red and/or Blue, i can do without. ^^
that would kinda defeat the purpose of the formfactor.

Not necessarily.  It still allows the shorter reach to the mouse on the right arm.  Personally, I would love dedicated media keys on the left-hand side somewhere as well since it's easier than taking my hand off the mouse to hit the Fn key plus an F# key or whatever the next/back media buttons are.

Hey Carter, can you comment on the TK's unorthodox bottom row and why CM have taken this approach? Just wondering, because even though many backlit keyboards I've seen have uneven spacing on that row, their key caps are still standard size—this is not the case with the TK's spacebar and CTRL keys.

Never, I am in the process of EOL'ing the quickfire pro, as it was made by iOne which is a vendor we are discontinuing business with. We looked at bringing the white in way back when, but ultimately decided not too. We displayed it at CES becuase it matches a White/Blue theme HAF xB mod.

I am considering bringing in White TK's tho.

I'm guessing QuickFire Pro is getting replaced by QuickFire XT?  Well played CM Storm  :D

I asked Carter about the availability a little while back:

Sorry, its tough to keep track of which forums i have updated and which I havent.

TK brown US version was slightly delayed further and is looking to be about mid Feb for the black bezel.

White tk w/ brown switch will most likely be late Feb.


In before "WHITE TK!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!!?!?!!!!!?!!?!!?!1!!!!ONE"

Just thought peeps in this here thread would like to know.

Just ordered my TK with Browns off the Cooler Master store. (yea, it's on there now)

So excited to finally be replacing my Logitech K750.

Wtf!? CM customer support said first week of March..
This was like a day ago, lol.

I just got the reds, oh well..

$21 to ship to Canada, :(.

You ordered directly from CM Store? Wouldn't it be cheaper from Ncix.ca?

Looks like we only have the blue and red switches available from NCIX Canada.

Looks like Memory Express carries the TK w/ browns, but is currently out of stock. Canada Computers seems to have it as well, but only as an in store purchase.

I bought direct from CM because they get more money that way. More money means more support for products up my alley, and more love for Carter.

Sure I can save 20 bux going elsewhere, but I like to think of it as a tip.

Also,
Hell with that, LOOK WHAT'S BACK IN STOCK.
GREEENZ!!!!

Ah, didn't check there since NCIX usually has the largest selection of keyboards here. 

There's a notice on Canada Computers that the browns will be in March/April.  My friend will be pleased to know that they're at least coming, thanks.

I recently bought this keyboard and overall it's pretty nice. But the whole numpad thing is somewhat tricky. Especially because the 2nd enter key (as well as "+") get deactivated when you turn num lock off, even though they have no secondary function.
Is there any way around that? Maybe reprogramming the function or something? Not sure if that's possible. Any input would be appreciated.
