Title: Tenkeyless Filco or Leopold Keyboard
Post by: mrmatt on Thu, 15 March 2012, 15:19:29

I prefer blues or browns, but if the price is good I may jump at one with reds. My price range with shipping will be up to about 110 USD.

Why not just buy a brand new cm storm quickfire with blues for under $70.
Same quality as a filco

edit: nvm deal is out of stock, but you can still get it for under $80

That is what I was looking at, but I was advised against getting it due to the branding and other issues. These two are the ones that ended up being recommended to me by people.

As far as I'm aware the branding is the only thing people have issues with with this board. If its that big of a deal for you, you can buy vinyl wrap for under $10 to hide it.

The branding is definitely not a deal breaker. A spacebar and two modifier keys have branding (which can/will be replaced if you stay on GH), one flame near the escape (which I covered with black tape), one "CM Storm" logo above the arrow keys, and another "CM Storm" on the back where nobody looks.

When anyone looks at my keyboard, all they see is one CM Storm logo. Looks nice, in my opinion.
