Just waiting on this pretty Ducky (Cherry MX Browns)! It's my first mechanical since I was a wee child. Can't wait for it to get here. <3

The Browns were kind of a shot in the dark since it's my first mech, but the description sounds right. And I've read that it's a good starter switch.

It is a good starter switch. Not a heavy tactile bump but not quite linear. Lets you decide easily which way you want to go next.

Don't be disappointed. The Meka isn't the best keyboard around. In fact, it has some rather major flaws.

Yea, I had second thoughts before I pulled the trigger, but It will be hard to disappoint me for the price ($25)

Leopold FC660C to be in the mail soon??? Probably won't be here until later next week though

What am I in for compared to a Realforce and HHKB? Originally, I had planned to get a Realforce 55g but caved in on the 660C.

I have not FC660C, but I have HHKB 2 Pro.

Someone said HHKB thocks more, but FC660C feels sturdier.

I must admit that, although very well made, it does seem very light compared to most other keyboards I have.

Yeah, I heard similar things. I actually would prefer the more thock but the HHKB just so much more expensive. Also, I do prefer a heavier keyboards because I prefer a plate for sturdiness, and it just makes them feel more sturdier. However, I heard that HHKB's build quality makes up for it. I guess the light weight may be a plus if being constantly being carried around, which ironically is what I'm planning to do... everyday

) But I guess that doesn't matter because the keyboard will be the only thing I carry in my bag.

When describing the HHKB as "thocks more," does this describe only the sound or also the feel/tactility of the switch? I would prefer the switch to be as tactile as possible, which is why I originally wanted the 55g more (I heard the 55g is more poppy because of the heavier springs). If the HHKB was more tactile in feel, I can only logically assume that the HHKB may be slightly more tactile because of the lacking metal plate which may result in more resonance and vibration through the case??? Maybe I'm just crazy.

Hmmm, can't answer that, sorry, as I have only HHKB. I think it refers only to the sound.

HHKB is case-mounted? Which I imagine would feel like a hybrid of plate and PCB mouted.

While I was in JP i saw an advertisement for the HHKB anniversary edition, it is meant to be carried around under arm or in a bag, portability hence weight in a key factor to the appeal. Japan is extremely mobile, can go on the train and in 6 hours span both islands from top to bottom. It's light so it can be portable

Hmmmm~ After having tried out the 660C for a certain amount of time and I get more curious, I may have to somehow try the HHKB just so I can have a comparison! A 55g Realforce while I'm at it too!!!

I went looking around and there were a pair of threads where someone mentioned getting doubleshots with their BTC-5339. Even if it's just laser-etched or pad-printed I'll be happy, but one can hope and dream. I picked up a BTC-5339, not the 5339R that I see pop up more often.

The threads in reference: thread 1, thread 2.
