Title: Get Full size leopold? or Wait for a TKL with reds
Post by: CampinSam on Wed, 07 September 2011, 17:13:56

Hey Guys,

2nd, post here, and also my second question.

After using my Steelseres 6gv2 for about 6 months, and doing a lot of research on all the switches, I have narrowed down my preferences to browns and reds, and to be honest, even though I love the linearity of the black switches, they can be a bit tiresome sometimes. So reds feel like a perfect match

And also after doing a bit of research on the leopolds, and not wanting to wait for a otaku filco red to get in stock.. I've decided to go for one of the leopold's cherry mx red boards over at EK.
My only problem though, is that i don't really use the numpad on my current board, so I think i might prefer not having one for my next one.

Ofcourse, if you looked at the stock, they only have a full-sized keyboard with cherry reds.. so.. :S

So, I have 2 questions.

Should I just go ahead and buy the full-sized board?
Or is there a chance of them even carrying a red TKL model?.. in the near future?

Thanks in Advance!

They won't carry the tenkeyless red in the near future. I'm willing to bet big money on that.
I would just buy a plu tenkeyless with reds from qtan.
