Title: Hello all
Post by: Kelvarr on Wed, 28 November 2012, 08:07:40

I would like to delve into the world of mechanical keyboards. I've decided that I would like either Cherry MX Blue or Cherry MX Brown switches (or their equivalent). The problem is that I don't know of any place I can go to test them (I would like to try a blue vs a brown to see what I like better) . Microcenter is about 40 min away. No place else seems to carry them that I can tell. Any help? Thanks in advance!

I'm looking at about $100 max for a new keyboard.  Non-gaming keyboards preferred.  Don't have to be backlit, have a removable cord, USB hub, but would prefer those things.

You can pick up a cmstorm with blues for $60ish. What state are you in?

Welcome to Geekhack!

If you don't mind the extra clicking sounds, go blues, otherwise browns.  Both are tactile.
