Completely Lost in Finding Keyboard

Haha, you've got a good point. Not point in buy all that when you have Ducky for just a bit more.

Or you can go for a kb with the Kailh Reds switches

Apparently they're in between reds and blacks.

Where would I get these, or how do I make them?

you take a linear switch and add a slightly stiffer spring to it...up to 105 times (depending on your keyboard )

From what I've heard, Kalih switches aren't great quality, and aren't made of as high-quality plastic as Cherry switches are. I would probably take an MX Red or Black and add a bunch of Korean springs to it to get a similar feel.

I've seen some springs on the techkeys site but they were out of stock.  Anywhere else I could get them?

I haven't seen a TK without branding.

Besides, $100 + $35 = $135 for a QF with after market PBT. $10 more expensive than a Ducky pro with PBT or the same price for a Ducky Pro full.

Either way, I don't understand your point.

Have you even looked in the classifieds, or any of the media content on this forum? There are plenty of people that have gotten them without branding.

Also, QFR is not $100, it's more around $80 regular price, and quite often it's around $60 on sale in many places.

What point don't you understand now?

The QFR here is $69 here on sale.  Anyways, I'm getting a GH60 kit and gonna make my own keyboard.

I can't feel them, at least on a CM Storm board.  I tried some in store and it didn't feel right.  I'm looking for a linear switch that is lighter than black but heavier than reds.  I was thinking about swapping springs out of another switch and putting them in some reds, however I don't really know which ones to do.

Type on blacks until you're used to them.

Went into store today to try out the keyboards for a second time, really liking the reds.  I'll most likely use those instead, blacks just seemed too heavy and the reds didn't go down when I kept my hands on them.

I think people are just exaggerating when they say how sensitive reds are. Reds are a good choice, but you can also consider browns if you need some tactility.

I tried browns there too, they just felt like rubber domes (awaiting hate for that one), I just didn't feel the bump at all just a weird feeling at the bottom.  However I love typing on blues, it's the noise that kills me and also for the fact that I don't want to hear the click every time I use the WASD to move when playing FPS games.

I don't think you were typing on browns. They honestly don't feel very different from reds when typing at speed. They have no different feeling at the bottom than reds. I sort of feel like you are mistaken about what you were typing on.

Nope, for sure it was Cherry MX Browns on a CM Storm keyboard (forget which one), and then I tried the reds on a QFR.  Personally I like linear switches.
