Title: Does anyone know of a good cheap mx brown tenkeyless?
Post by: YoshiCaps on Sat, 22 October 2016, 11:16:51: I know I say, love MX browns,and they are cool, but I really want a t eSPORTS POSEIDON ZX with brown switches. It's also tenkeyless, like my current keyboard some random thing by tomoko with blue clones.the switches are fine for typing and gaming, but they are WAY to clicky :eek: I was gonna pair it with a g502 or g600 mouse (I have the g502 already, great mouse) I want browns because they are so quiet and are great for gaming. Another option is the daskeyboard 4c or the chroma x tournemount edition with clone switches.

Ducky is also a good brand for tkl keyboards. Some non backlit capable ones come with pbt caps at around $80 i think. Depends where you live tho.

You know where MX Browns got the colour from? Think about other things that are brown too .... yeah, right.

:D Just kidding.
Mx Browns are not regarded as a good switch amongst keyboard enthusiast. Personally, I would rather type on a rubberdome keyboard.

CM Quickfire TK or Leopold FC750R comes with MX Browns.

Post by: potatobot on Sat, 22 October 2016, 19:23:58: Nothing wrong about mx browns.

Its just preference. Any switch could be the best switch for you. How can he appreciate something with topre if he cant even afford it? Tsk

yeah, its all about preference mate.

they say linear reds are the best for gaming bla bla bla, but i have tried using gateron reds vs browns and the later feels better IMO. :thumb:

Post by: YoshiCaps on Sat, 22 October 2016, 20:49:34: I'm a purist, I think cherry's temselves are the best. Razer's "Mecha-membrane" is like combinding a fidora (cool) and a chicken hat.

Post by: Corsa1r on Sun, 23 October 2016, 02:19:09: I bought the Ganss G.S-87 back in January from Amazon for $65. I got Cherry Browns, it's plate-mounted and a really solid, minimalist board. The only thing that would be a bad thing are the pad-printed caps that came on it, they were thin and possibly the worst keycaps I have ever seen, despite the really attractive color scheme. I put some Ducky dye-subs on it and it's incredible now.

Post by: Omnipotent on Sun, 23 October 2016, 16:08:26: Right now you can get a MagicForce 68 with Gateron Browns for $63 off of Amazon. It's not exactly a TKL but it's close? (They also have Outemu for $40, but the Gaterons are well worth the extra $23)

I have been using different types of mechanical keyboards with different mx switches for years( and even others like Khalil and Buckling springs) and MX Browns(also Reds) are still my favorite. It is also the go to switch for other enthusiasts I know at work and gaming communities.

mx browns = ****

I had no idea A L P S = **** , I guess A L P S is censored in this forum ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) But enough of this time to answer the OP's question.

Check this out on amazing, brown switches and pretty small so you can have more mouse space on your desk. However, you have to learn shortcuts for the F row keys but that is simple cause I know some games require this.

I'm surprised you suggest the MX version over the Gaterons I suggested.

Gateron Browns > MX Browns
