Hi all.
I need your advice i'm getting my first mechanical keyboard. The thing is there too many models and i dont know what to choose. Also I'm from Spain and all the keyboards that actually fit me and it is "easy" to buy (cooler master) they are out of stock -.-
I prefer tenkeyless(but not mini) , brown cherry, Spanish layout (1% possible xD) and with usb conection. I'm a casual gamer (all games) and a casual writer (some college stuffs). I dont care about details, just write a few ones that you consider that they are good choices and i will try to get them. Thank you.
Really, cooler master keyboard is perfect but out of stock in all stores, that's why i will buy it from ebay or something likely.
P.D: BTW, this verification thing sucks xD
-

Also, ERGODOX.. $250 assembled.(http://s1.postimage.org/15vsws9tw/160.gif)

Hmm, too expensive, forget to say 150$ max.
The verification thing that make me write the captcha.

for $150, there's really only the quickfire rapid
we have the $45 deal for the mxblue one (new) not long ago.(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RJSp8e2BPew/TdU2qnrehXI/AAAAAAAADh8/7mRW57xWZJQ/s1600/tuzki25.gif)

Hi!
I'm from Spain too! I've recently bought my first mechanical keyboard too, i wanted Cherry MX Blue with spanish layout and i bought a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate.
If you are looking for tenkeyless, your two only options, as fas as i know are:
The Cooler Master and Zalman ZM-K500, the second one is available through pccomponentes.com BUT is uses bad switches (some kind of low grade cherry copy).
Other options:
You can get a KBT Pure Pro with Spanish layout, which despite being a 60%, have the the arrow keys more or less on it's place.
Also, i think that might be possible (but very difficult) to find a IBM spacesaver with spanish layout.
As a last option, you have a couple of strange tiny spanish layout with arrows mechanical keyboards:
CHERRY G84-4100
and
CHERRY G84-5200
but both use Cherry ML instead of Cherry MX
So, if i were you i would search for a Cooler Master, maybe online or second hand, and as a second option go for the KBT Pure pro (is a nice board).
My next board will be using ANSI layout as i want to learn it so i can have more keyboard options in the future.
See ya!

Welcome to Geekhack!
Have you considered buying one from oversea e.g. China? The KeyCool I got from qtan was slightly cheaper than what I could get locally, shipped in under 3 weeks, and is great.
-
Thank you all. Yesterday i was looking qtan website. there are a few interesting keyboards. Anyway i asked by email if they could get me cooler master models. If not i will see.
About KBT pure pro it has not F1 F2 keys and i use them often. About the cherry's hmm they are my last option i guess.
P.D: About keycool. I know this brand, i read a few reviews. i will ask for keycool 87 if possible. 84 model looks a bit small for me.

I'm getting this http://www.ebuyer.com/519563-cooler-master-cm-storm-quick-fire-tk-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-sgk-4020-gkcm1-uk#
They ship to Spain from UK so no risk to pay aditional taxes.
-
So, you finally doesn't mind about the Spanish layout?
If you don't mind about the layout, you can explore now a lot of options!
-
It seems. I know there are a lot of options (keycool,filco,ducky...) but i think cooler master quickfire rapid is a good choice. I posted a wrong link, i will get it from scan.co.uk
