Title: Which cherry red TKL keyboard?
Post by: TLR on Wed, 05 October 2011, 18:31:28
I'm looking for a 10keyless keyboard with red switches.  What keyboards should I be looking at and where can I get them from?

Thanks GH

I noticed Qtan has them for sale

Otherwise you'll probably have to wait until more come around because I can't seem to find any other options.

If you want a really small keyboard, the noppoo choc mini or KBC poker (or rappoo V7, as it's almost red), but if you want a proper sized tenkeyless keyboard )like I do) you'll probably have to go with a filco red (good luck) or the new CMstorm 'board. I'm in favour of the CMstorm, though I've used none of the keyboards I mentioned

The CMstorw should be about $110 shipped, if PChome ever gets more stock.

I'm in the same boat and looking for a TKL standard sized with Reds.    Since I missed the Limited edition Filco's  and don't care for the super small form factors , I'm hoping Qtan can get a deal direct from CM Storm Rapid Fire in China or Tawain to get us a group buy.

Ah yeah, I just saw the Leopold announcement.  Looks like I will be getting one of them, especially considering my current keyboard is a Leopold TKL with brown switches and I like it.

The PLU87 is tenkeyless; it has some ugly branding, but they're fairly cheap. Even with reds. And if you can stomach the pink color for a long time, those are even cheaper.

Cooler Master Storm RapidFire is a good choice

It's a Filco clone. Quality should be Filco-esque.

Are the stabilizers wire or Cherry on that CM with reds?

It's same quality as a Filco but now with multimedia function and detachable cable.
I did a short review here (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:22514).
I'm just worried about how long the rubber coating will last.
