Hello
I want to order a Filco keyboard with brown cherrys. Right now I see them on amazon, but I cant see where it states what type of cherrys are used, whether it be brown, black, blue or red?
also while im here is there a big different between brown, black and red? Whats the main differences?
Browns are louder than blacks but blacks are heavier keys to push.
what about reds? they are like blacks but push down as easy as a brown?
Also what is better for gameing then, brown or red keys? I see there are some filcos around with red cherrys.
is there any better places to order these filco keyboards other than amazon? or is that the best place to get them if you are in North America??

read the product description....
-
Also I should state that I only play starcraft 2 i dont play FPS
-
and don't read
-
Yes read the description... It also has pictures of the kind of switch under the caps... I suggest getting browns for sc2. I went from blues to browns and love it. Can't say much for reds but plan on putting together ghetto reds and see how that feels...

CTRL-F then type brown can also find you the word you want in your browser.

Sometimes people just miss stuff. If the keyboard says "Linear", then it's Cherry Black switches, unless of course it says "Red switch". If it says "Click" or "Click Action", that's a Cherry Blue keyboard. If it says "Tactile" or "Tactile Action", then that's a Cherry Brown board.
Hope that helps.

The WW shopping wiki links now work too.

sorry guys for the delayd reply, yeah after reading it a second time, i realized i didnt scroll down far enough and saw that they said it was brown switches, then after reading the title it said linear and the others said tactile. hahah I feel like a dummy, I like this board very nice people on it, most message boards you would have about 293299293492 trolls making fun of me because i missed it, at least you guys help out, i really do apprecieate it, i guess thats the difference between mature adults, and low functioning ones.
yeah I think im going to go for the brown filco for sc2, I really wanted a topre but I cant justify spending that kind of coin on a keyboard, when most pros out there still use there rubberdome for sc2 lol. but since i have the extra money (thank you tax return), im going to upgrade from my crappy logitech lol.
Also does anyone know why elite is taking so long to get more Leopolds in? i was under the impression that the guy who orginally created the filco made the leopold and was supposed to have made it even better? so why are the leopolds getting bad reviews, or why are people still picking filco over leopold? is it just Filco fanboyism? do these people honestly own both keyboards? By looking at the pictures they look almost identical. also the 20-30 dollar difference is it really worth it?

also the keyboard company, is that place located in the UK? so is shipping somewhat delayed then? or does amazon have some sort of warehouse and have some stocked over here in NA haha never orderd through amazon before.
