Hey-
I started looking into a cherry mx blue das keyboard, something to give me a little more umph when writing fiction. Didn't like the look of the keyboard or the vibe of the company, I can be kind of picky about that sort of thing.
So I'm saving up money for a solid (100<keyboard<200) cherry mx blue keyboard. Hopefully the WASD v2s will be out in tenkeyless and looking good by the holidays. Otherwise, a flico majetouch 2 is probably what I'm looking at. I'm also looking at an o-rig mod for that.
I do a minimal amount of gaming, mostly rogue-likes, which actually benefit from a ten key keyboard. Would a leopold cherry mx red be good for dwarf fortress and office stuff?
I'm also interested in DIY arcade control projects.
Peace y'all.

Welcome to GH. Can't go wrong with a Filco.

Switches are matter of personal preference, I for one think Browns are the master-switch.
Can't go wrong with a Filco. My first board is a Filco MJ2 and I'm still using it. Solid good board, with no problems so far.

Browns are a solid first switch as they provide an even mix of linear feel and tactile feedback. After trying browns, you can then decide if you'd prefer something else. I chose blacks first as I loved the smoothness of them!
You'd also be making the best choice of board with the MJ2. Get your first MX board? Then get the best! :)
And welcome to the forum! I've only been here since this morning but I love it here already!
