So, for my first mechanical Keyboard I decided to purchase a Cooler Master Storm due to many recommendations from many people. I decided to go with MX browns due to them being my favorite switch that I tried out in store. Upgrading from a membrane this feels amazing(As I am currently typing on it). The build quality is solid, the keyboard looks nice, and it feels soo good. The included key caps are a nice touch also. After only owning it for a very short period of time, I have done two things: added O-rings and flipped the spacebar. I recommend others to try both of these things out because in my opinion it improves the experience. I may not have any other mechs to compare this to, but it feels damn good. I would definitely recommend this keyboard to others, and I probably will be modding it in the future.

Congrats on your first mech! :thumb:
Depending on your usage, give the browns some time and it will feel smoother as the stems wear. What other mods do you have planned? Lubing the switches (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=34332.0) perhaps?

Sorry! didn't even see reviews as a sub-forum.
I am planning to paint the casing/plasti dip it and also get a custom set of keycaps.

No worries.
Ah plastidip. :thumb: I tried that on my previous Shine II (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=49622.msg1158549#msg1158549). It didn't hold up too well in the corners from coming in contact with the plastic keyboard roof. However, I may not have allowed proper curing time between layers.
Anyway, here's a tip, if you have plastidip stuck in the nooks and crannies, WD-40 will dissolves it so you can brush or wash it off.

What happened to the space bar?

Reversed it.

Eeewww :p

Why do people reverse their space bars? I've tried it before and it felt very awkward to use.

There is a recent discussion (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=80812.0) upon that very subject.
