Title: Hey guys!
Post by: Rotaku on Thu, 09 October 2014, 22:25:08
Guess i should introduce myself. I've been lurking geekhack and /r/mechanicalkeyboards for a good ~6 months, and i decided i should make an account here! i don't have any mechanical keyboards yet, but i've been looking for a good deal on a poker 2 with cherry mx browns for a while. I reeeeaaally want a hhkb pro 2, but i don't have $250ish to spare :( but anyway, still really excited to get my first mk soon enough.

Welcome to the community! Nice to see another lurker come out of their cave. On a serious note though what lead you to choose the Brown switches? And what is it that made you choose the 60% form factor?

I thought browns would be a nice middle ground between a clicky keyboard and a tactile one. I think blues are a bit too loud, clears might be a bit too heavy, and reds just seemed not tactile enough. And the 60% form factor just looks really clean imo. And thanks guys for the welcome :)

Well for me I'm also considering getting Poker II with browns and I already have a Filco with Blues and another Filco TKL with Reds and I like them both very much and I can't decide which one to use. So I decide I would get "both" by having the lightness of the reds combined with that little tactile feedback of the blues!
