Title: TKL MX blue Keyboards?
Post by: Harms on Thu, 08 January 2015, 23:02:18

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a TKL keyboard with cherry MX blues (with Cherry Stabs). A very specific criteria, but yea :P. Lastly I don't mind back lighting I guess; however, it would be better without it because it would keep the cost down. Thank you for the help everyone.

Why cherry stabs? It will limit your options.

If you want to limit yourself to Cherry stabs, which IMO feel horrible, you're best bet is the KUL board posted by abjr.

If you are willing to go with Costar stabilizers, which feel 1000x better but are **slightly** harder to work with, then you could go for a Filco, WASDv2, or a Code. If you wanted to go cheaper and are willing to sacrifice some build quality, you could pick up a Cooler Master board as well.

Another option would be the quickfire rapid-i .Think it's $119 at the moment on amazon.

Ducky keyboards use Cherry stabilisers.  Clipped, so some claim, which is supposed to improve the feel, although I can't really tell any difference between my Ducky Shine 1 and Ducky Shine 3.

You'd be great with either a KUL or a Ducky

If you want backlighting go for the ducky, if not go for the KUL.

If you decide on costar stabs, there's other options.
