Hey all,
Currently have a g15 and I think it is time I move on to a mechanical.
I am looking for RED switches in TKL form. However, I have no idea of which to start. I was looking into the Leopold's from EK and the CM storm quick fire (with annoying branding and font....). What other TKL ones are there with reds? Also, which are recommended (from stabliziers to build quality etc).
Thanks!
There's always a noppoo choc mini from qtan (which is a smaller layout). Also red is overhyped as 'the' gaming switch not saying it isn't nice but I highly recommend considering brown if you do typed work at your computer as well as reds can be tiring if you aren't used to their low actuation force as you will probably bottom out alot more while on a brown when typing you will get used to the tactile point, I think from there reds become candy because they are so light. I do however think if you go for CM Storm it's easier to grab their red board atm, they are also cheaper but you will probably want better keycaps eventually.
On stabilizers; Costar almost always are favoured when people have tried cherry. However since this is your first you probably will not care and tbh I can't say there is or isn't a difference as I haven't used a cherry stabalizer board.
Good luck, mechanical will make you cry as to why you used such an awful keyboard for so long.
Edit: Apart from space bars (the majority of 'other keycap sets use filco sized spacebars) and modifiers from say the noppoo. All cherry keycaps fit cherry switches although some keycaps have slightly different height profiles.
