Hey guys, I recently was contemplating the idea of picking up a totally linear board for typing/writing, playing games, and pretty much anything else. I wanted to give my Type-S a break in the department of writing/grad school stuff (and wanted some dedicated arrows for playing things).
So, initially, I really wanted some vintage blacks, lubed. But I realize I'm not quite that level of keyboard enthusiast and that I probably don't deserve it. That, and I'd probably have to pay big or salvage my own and build it from the ground-up, which I have never done and don't have the time for.
So, with that in mind , I was thinking of smooth switches that are maybe lighter, namely mx reds. I'm looking at both the FC750R (the white one, I really like the side-printed PBT caps) and the FC660M (Also white, the HHKB has really sold me on small-form-factor keyboards). I've been watching typing videos and the sound on this particular video sold me on a Leopold with reds:
So, anyone with experience with one or both of these boards, what are your thoughts? Would you recommend one or the other comparison-wise, or something else based on what I am looking for? Thanks.
EDIT: I wanted to add, the reason I am asking about comparisons is primarily for 'smooth typing feel' and 'smooth sound' between the two boards. That's what matters most to me, if anyone has any experience with that. Like I said, the video is for reference.
