Title: Shine 3 tkl or leopold FC660M
Post by: Air tree on Sun, 08 September 2013, 21:07:06

Well i just noticed that mechanicalkeyboards.com gets the shine 3 tkl in stock somewhat soon and i was wondering what you guys think i should get, Both of them come at almost the exact same price. I really like the leds on the shine 3 but i also like the FC660M both of these are good sizes.
Also i'm wondering what would be a good place to get some White and grey keycaps for a shine 3 that work well with leds?

I like the 660M because it's a 60% and that's the best layout.

if you really like the LED, shine 3 would be the best choice

Shine 3 will be earier to get replacement keycaps for in the short term.

Get the Shine if you really use function keys, otherwise consider the FC660M.

Even an FC660C (the Topre version) if funds permit.
