Does anyone else use their Red's for, well, everything?
« on: Thu, 22 December 2011, 01:06:18 »
Just wondering if I'm alone here or not.

I use my board with Reds for absolutely everything, almost 100% usage regardless of what I'm doing. I have gone through a couple boards with browns and clears, and currently have a 87 with blues sitting on my desk that I tell myself is for typing reports and papers... but for some reason since I got my current board with reds I have been using it for everything.

It was supposed to be for games, then I started using it when typing on forums while gaming or browsing. Then sometimes I'd be on page 7 of a report and realize my board with blues is sitting there with a plastic cover on it, sad and alone.

I'm almost tempted to sell the board with blues because of how little I use it, and for some reason I can't convince myself to use it more. Right now, I'm typing on the reds while the other board stares at me.

Reds are my favorite switch for everything, so I'm with you.

Yup, reds are rad.  Love blues too though, and I recently bought a Topre which is giving my red Leopold a run for its money.

Keyboards will not be sad and alone, only you are.

Let the red be happy in silence, along with its blue and clear friend.

Reds and silent topres are my favorites. Both are nice and light but have a totally different feel and sound. For me the reds have a light tap tap and I can describe the silent topres as putting my fingers to piano keys.  Just love them both for their different qualities.
Current in order of preference:  RealForce 87U Silent White with variable weighted keys X 2, Filco Majestouch 2 Tenkeyless with Linear Reds, Filco Number-pad, Poker with Linear Reds

Sold or returned:  Multiple Microsoft and Logitech keyboards, Das Keyboard Silent, Cherry 6140, RealForce 103UB, RealForce 86U, Filco Majestouch 2 full sized with Linear Reds

I use it so much, I want to get in on those dye sub'd pbt's cause it just gets so much use. Normally I wouldn't be able to justify spending so much, but then again, I think I could justify it lol.

I just can't believe I even started using it when typing research papers and such. It's like, what am I thinking use the other one!

Have a Rosewill with Reds for work so it's basically only there for typing. When I go home, I have a Macbook to type on which isn't bad but I do miss my work keyboard =(
