Can't say you haven't been warned about the dangers of trying out new keyboards and searching for the ultimate one.
Ok, while I used scissors some of the time, I considered them loud next to my silicone board. Browns, even without bottoming out, are louder than scissors (nothing obnoxious, but definitely noticeable). It is for this reason, I wonder if I'd like Topre's better, because I really like quiet.
That said,browns are quiet enough and feel good enough that I still prefer them to silicone and scissors.
Also, I came to mechanicals having a fondness for low travel keys, over full travel rubber domes. The full keys haven't been an issue for me at all. I think that's because the travel feels good (plus the key actuates at 2 mm, so it isn't like you have to go the full distance).
If you prop up your scissors with their legs/feet, then ignore what I'm about to say. Even though I've switched from the uber flat keyboard, to mechanical, I still prefer the flatter/lower key layout in relation to my hands. At home this sucks, because the keyboard tray doesn't go lower. It isn't that big of a deal, but it is something I still feel the difference of. Though, I'd rather get a difference desk, or put the keyboard in my lap, than stop using cherry browns.
However, I went seeking other keyboards, because I was unhappy with the durability of silicone and scissors.
Remember, if it isn't broken, don't fix it. The more you know, the less you know and more dissatisfied, you'll be, lol. Perfection doesn't exist. I mean, I totally know I don't need better than cherry browns and yet I really gotta get my mitts on an 87U low noise . .
