Suggestions on Cherry MX Brown Keyboard.

[CbHyBaM]

Hi guys,

My main idea was to send a private msg to a certain person, but for some reason - this person can not or do not want to receive private msgs. Thus, I`m creating this topic.

The question is simple: Could you please give me your suggestions on a nice Cherry MX Brown switches keyboard. I do not want anything fancy. All I want is a keyboard I will be able to use for a long time without having problems with it.

Some of you might thing this is another stupid topic... Still, I had a lot of issues with different keyboards and I actually got tired of all the **** that happened.

1 - Got a SteelSeries G7 and in a couple of weeks it`s "Space" just broke. When I took it to the store I got it from - they made the things even worse.
2 - Found a nice Zowie Celeritas keyboard, but it`s " Space " was broken even before I buy it.
3 - I checked every single thread and feedback related to Razer Black Widow (I know it`s a Cherry MX blue switches) and it appears its just not a good keyboard etc.

One thing I know for sure is that I do not like Cherry MX Black switches. Too " hard " to push for me. I was thinking about Filco Cherry MX Brown, but I still do not know if it`s worth. So... !?

Thank you in advance for your time.

If you don't mind the look you could get the CMStorm Quick Fire Rapid (they sure are redundant) through PCHome or wait for it to reach the US, if that's where you're located.

It's made by the same OEM as Filco and has a few extra features like the detachable cable and media keys.

Or if you're looking for a 104key board then you could get the Rosewill from NewEgg which is also made by the same OEM as Filco.

Both options get you a good board for less than the Filco, I'd wait for another sale/deal if going the Rosewill route.

Filco with MX brown.

If you're in the country that I think you're in, try this:

Hmm, are you a heavy typer: bottoming out the keys and such? If that's the case, you can get a PBT spacebar, or a keyboard that's got one already (like a unicomp, or some pokers, I think)

I prefer browns to black, as the linearity, combined with the higher weight makes it seem like it's much harder to type/use.

Unfortunately, I live in a ****ing country of the " 3rd world " (Bulgaria)... This is why the shipping to my home would cost some good amount of money (in case  they agree to send me the item...). I wanted to make some researches before I do any kind of order...

The reason why I prefer Cherry MX Brown is cause I realized that " I like to push the buttons " to the bottom. With the Cherry MX Black it requires more efforts than with Cherry MX Brown. Blues on the other hand - too light... I`ll be waiting for more suggestions. The most important for me is the quality of the keyboard. I don`t want it to get broken in a week/month...

If blue's are too light I don't think brown is what you're looking for...

I actually tried Zowie Celeritas and it felt perfect... As we all know, Brown, Black and Blues are the most popular... I`ve read the " Mechanical keyboards " manual and I know that there are Red and White, but I don`t think they will be easy to find or get them (considering the fact that I live in a country forgotten by God, as bulgarians like to say).

I have two Filco browns and I like it. If you can like it too, you will feel that it is worth your money.

MX Brown is bit lighter than Blues, so you're on the wrong track.

Consider Buckling Springs and Topre.
