Which keyboard would you choose?
« on: Mon, 05 September 2011, 20:22:56 »
No I'm not messing around making a stupid thread between which keyboard you like better because there are many threads out there that can answer my question. The reason why I'm asking is because someone I know might be travelling to Taiwan and/or Korea in the very near future and I plan on having them bring a few keyboards back for me.

If someone can tell me where the poll function is then that would be great because I can't find it. Thanks!

Cherry G80-3494LYCUS in white w/ Cherry Red
Cherry G80-3494 in black w/ Cherry Red
Other (Please specify which one you'd prefer)

I didn't put this in the group buy because I'm not buying a bulk of them.
What are you interested in?

G80-3494. PCB mounted goodness in case I don't end up liking the reds.
Risen from the dead for a model F.

Wyse buy colors were GSY for the dark grey, GBA for the light grey, and BBI for the fonts.

Filco Majestouch 2 TKL in black w/ Cherry Red
Filco Majestouch 2 TKL in white w/ Cherry Brown

Are both amazing choices. I love both Red and Brown pretty much equally. Will you be gaming or just typing? I lean toward brown a tad if you're gaming, both are amazing though. Reds have this unique sexy character that no other switch I've tried has. If you want fancy pants that's the way to go.

I'm not a fan of the browns but I am a big fan of the reds! I love typing on my Noppoo Choc Mini Reds. I might get both of the TKL mentioned above because I missed the white otaku one when EK had it so I'll just pick up the white one even though it's not the otaku version regardless of the switch. As with the Cherry red Filco, I don't think there needs to be anymore explanation :D

Right now, I'd love a full size (104 key) MJ2 in white with brown switches. Need me that numpad

I can almost relate the reds to the HHKB Pro 2. I wish I hadn't sold my HHKB Pro 2 :(

I think I would definitely pick up some reds just because they seem so amazingly rare here in the states!  I would probably also go Filco.  I hardly ever see any love for the cherry boards.

I had a MX11800 before and I won't lie, it's feels pretty flimsy. It feels like no matter how durable the switches are, the board itself won't withstand the abuse from everyday use.
