Title: Need help on buying keyboard.
Post by: asassdsd on Wed, 19 October 2011, 00:51:03
Im planning on buying a Cherry MX Brown Mechanical keyboard. My budget is maximum of $130 although i dont plan on spending that much, so a highest $110 to $120 is good.
I wanted to buy a Leopold fullsize brown keyboard at elitekeyboard.com, but currently they are out of stock.
Blank is available but im not sure if i will be able to type even though i rarely look at my keyboard while i type.
Anyone has websites that sell a cherry brown keyboard that ships to US?

There's the World Wide Shopping Guide (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Geekhack+WorldWide+Shopping+Links) in the wikis. It gives you a couple options. I would say at that price range, the best option is probably a WASD Keyboard (http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/semi-custom-keyboard/wasd-v1-semi-custom-mechanical-keyboard.html). You can get a semi-custom one for $120. If that doesn't float your boat, there's always the Das Keyboard Silent (http://www.daskeyboard.com/model-s-professional-silent/), which you can get for $108 with a student discount. I think Elite Keyboards is the only carrier of Leopolds though.

Is WASD's quality as good as Leopold/Filcos?
