Title: Mechanical keyboard with context menu key & cherry clear
Post by: swordmasterhowe on Mon, 10 June 2013, 01:29:45: Hi,

I'm actually curious about which mechanical keyboard have the context menu keys on? I used it often in my work especially doing editing in excel, coding, etc....

I have a mechanical keyboard, the ducky 9008 black on black and it does not have the context menu key on it.....

I've being considering getting the matias quiet pro for its silent and tactile keys..... but the lacking off context menu key is quite a turn-off.

So I would like to know if there's any mechanical keyboard on the market that's:
- tactile
- silent (or just being a little quiet)
- come with context menu key.
- cherry mx clear switch
- full size

Oh and I know about the autohotkey, but it's not so convenient cause I'll be using different laptops/pc for for work/home and various events and also accessing others' pc/laptops for application demo. (and also show off that awesome mech keyboard if anyone ever know it was one. :p)

EDIT: Sorry, i forgot to mention about me finding a cherry mx clear switch.

a little tactile and definitely quieter than blues.

See the pics in jdcarpe's review: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=43143.0

It has a Fn key, but in place of the right Win key.

Yeah heard about the awesomeness of filco, but is there mx clear switch that's like stiffer brown? Thanks for the suggestion though.

Yeah, interesting, but I'm looking for a full keyboard.

I bought this recently. Its pretty nice. It looks really good, IMO. The only branding is on the space bar, and its minimal. I think its an iOne board though, and people say those aren't as good as costar or something. But I like it. It has the context menu key instead of the Right Win key.

full-size... checked
MX Clears... checked
standard layout including the Menu key... checked

It's also rather cheap, and comes with decent PBT/POM keycaps. It might feel a bit cheap/flimsy though (plastic case, PCB mounted switches).

Wow! That's awesome, do you know where I can get it? I'm from Malaysia anyways.
