Post by: Rafen on Sun, 27 January 2013, 16:59:26
AMAZING! Just tried them for the first time at a local computer store and im in love. I hope i love the topre board as much otherwise it will probably be in the classifieds.

Where did you try them at? The only shops I know of near me that have mechanical boards is MicroCenter and the Blackwidows they carry at BestBuy.

Just came back from my first trip to the local Fry's... unfortunately all they had were Corsair K90s and I think Blackwidows. Pitiful selection. Micro Center in Richmond, TX had ABS Ducky DK9008 G2 Pros.

PS Reds are probably my favorite stock switch. Lovin' the Ergo Clears now.

My daily drivers are mx red at home and topre at work. You don't have to go exclusively one or the other. Keep both, they go well together!

I tried ergo clears as well, and thought they felt like something in-between the two. For me, they just weren't as satisfying as the complete linearity of reds, or the solid smoothness of topre.

I ended up going back to that microcenter today and picking up the Ducky 9008 G2 w/reds and I am loving it. I think I am going to order some keycaps tomorrow for it from mechanical keyboards.

I have to say red took me a while to get used to, but it has finally take over brown as my favourite switch.  For the longest time red feel a bit odd for typing but it's absolute awesome for gaming.  But now I have to say I prefer to type on reds  :D

Cloud of boobs ftw ~

Reds are up there for my favorite switch.  I use a full size red board at work.  When I'm at home I tend to use my topres.

I've had my Poker with reds for just over a day, and already they have become my favourite switch, they're just brilliant!

Man, I really want to try red switches. I'm probably going to wait for the new line of Coolermasters for my mx red keyboard :D

Don't worry its so worth the wait. I never even thought that I would like these, then once I tried them I fell in love. This is by far my favorite switch!

Yeah same here, they better be made by Costar though!
Although after seeing Carter say Costar is overrated i don't think it's going to happen..

Oh yeah, most companies are overrated but what i was stating is that Carter probably doesn't want to do business with them after saying that, lol.
