Title: lokking for a new keyboard: TKL, detachable cable, MX red, plated mount
Post by: Heimdallr on Thu, 23 January 2014, 01:42:48

Hi all,
i want to buy a new keyboard, the requirements are these:
tenkeyless
detachable cable
mx red (possibly, but i can also go for blue or green)
plated mount

Of course it must be a solid choice and readily available, i don't want to shop on taobao or wait some group buy, i would like to have it in a short time.
I was about to buy another Filco but it lacks the detachable cable, until now my only option seems to be a wasdkeyboard v2.
Is there another contender?

thanks

cmstorm quickfire rapid meets all the requirements, I think.

QFR, or Ducky perhaps.

Leopold is also an option and is cheaper than WASD or Filco. I like the design of my Leopold better than my QFR in pretty every way but I have to admit the non-standard spacebar is a big PITA.

Leopold 700R?

Wait, that might not be a good option if you don't want to wait for shipping since the easiest way to get one is from HendyZone and he's in Indonesia.

I tought about that but it's completely out of stock, also i could save some money ordering a barebone V2.

At first I discarded Leopold for this very reason (non-standard spacebar).
I tought Ducky had a tenkeyless model without backlighting?

Thank you all.

I think that Ducky has the Zero, but I'm not sure if it comes in TKL version. Keycool and QFR should also be quite good, and a Filco if you're looking to spend more.

Just get a shine 3 and turn off the backlights.

As long as the presence of LEDs that aren't even turned on don't offend you, you'll save alot of time waiting.

I can second the recommendation of the Keycool 87  I have an 87II backlit, Extremley good keyboard

The FlashGet G600 has full NKRO on USB and is quite literally plate mounted a bit like a Corsair K65
