I have the opposite preference.  I prefer TKL, and as such, I bought a full size das(browns) about 6 months or so ago, maybe a little more, not sure, but I almost never use it.  If you are interested PM me.  The thing is almost brand new, in fact, its just collecting dust since I bought my ducky almost two weeks later.

Although I type mostly on the ducky, it is no fault of the das, I just found that I prefer (blues) and TKL.  As far as a keyboard goes, the das is awesome.   

Note: there is one thing that bothered me about the das, the shiny plastic casing, but thats just me, alot of people actually like it.

Pm sent.

Annoyingly I already have a qfr with blacks and a filco that I brought today I'm on the hunt for something I can take to lans

And I am in the uk!


Budget for 450$ or there abouts

[metalliqaz]

$450?  With that much you can buy several keyboards!

[hluo87]

i have a BNIB red CM if you are interested....

[akuJIWA]

With that kind of money, get yourself a kmac!

I have a Leopold TKL FC200R TKL with browns I'll let go for $275 shipped.  Would probably sell for less than half of that also, but if  you're offering up the cash, I'll take it.

[Leslieann]

I would be looking at the Cooler Master TKL (they seem to want to support people like us) or my personal favorite, the KBT Race.

$400 is way over the top for a keyboard unless it's made specifically to order, including custom keys, switches and chassis.

I have a Filco MJ2 TKL with brown sw, Pm me if you are interested

Like I say I want one for a lans if i was going to pay that much I'd feel ridiculously ripped off as they are only 99$ new, and besides i just dont like leopolds.

[YMSNoms]

I'm quite into the Keycool 87 back lit but I dont really know anything about them.

[cwang1004]

Alright...so you basically already got 2 of the most popular TKL keyboards...

unm, and you don't like Leopold or compact boards. What are you looking for again?

[YMSNoms]

i Want a TKL that i can lan with basically last time i took my QFR someone nicked my cable so it cant be modular, that and browns is my only requirements.

[gizmo]

Then is the comment on your budget just a weak attempt at puffing out your proverbial peacock feather?  Rolling in here to buy a board with your requirements is like showing up at a small town used car lot and saying you only have $400,000 but you need something that drives.

[YMSNoms]

Well I was actually hoping to buy more than one, but that already seems difficult.

As for the lan thing surely you can appreciate how annoying it is to have things stolen, I don't see how wanting a non modular tkl keyboard could be so hard.

However by the looks of your reply you probably havent been to an Event like Iseries or Dreamhack, where any thing peripheral wise is extortionately expensive tried to charge me $45 for a usb to mini cable. I do apologise for not wanting to carry a fullsize round with me for 8-12 hours and playing starcraft so requiring keys that dont require FN and another button to pause and such, but surely I can actually ask for whatever I want?

So yeah carrying a $200-300 keyboard around is not really a good idea as i have had a filco get damaged on a flight between Sweden and the UK, Also having another QFR is also not really a good idea mainly because the cables tend to get stolen but I play alot like Liquid'Sheth with my keyboard on my legs and that tends to cause underside modular keyboard usb sockets to break, happy with my explanation as to why I want what I want?

[Acetrak]

I think people are just having trouble understanding what you're looking for.

So you want a MX Brown TKL keyboard with a built-in cable? Not QFR because of this reason
But not Filco cause it might suffer damages due to traveling and you don't want to break an expensive keyboard (btw your budget contradicts this, unless you're looking to buy multiple keyboards at once or something)

Did I get that right?

[absyrd]

Buy a new cable or extras? I also do not understand what you want or what the problem is.

[alaricljs]

I'd just buy the QFR and mod it to a fixed cable.

[gizmo]

The $450 is the big thing for me.  You can buy a board that fits your requirement, as well as three to five backups, and be set for all your super LAN events.

Saying you want a non-ISO TKL with MX browns for under $450 is as open ended as a WTB could possibly be.  Individuals start throwing out options, and you add a requirement or two.  Putting a $450 max on your spending makes one think you are seriously interested in a custom job that would run in the $300 to $500 range.  Instead you come back with it needs to be cheap and hardwired.  All bits of info that would have been greatly noted from the beginning.  Your location, given the world wide nature of this site, would also be greatly helpful.

How my reply, in any way implies, that I have never been to your super cool events I also have no idea.  No I haven't.  Good guess.  Deducing that from my comment?  Would love to hear via PM how that was done.

If you couldn't pick up on the sarcasm of selling a Leopold for ~$250, I apologize.  I thought the post was dripping in it, but consider it a barrier of digital, non audible communication.

Pleasant and polite little chat with OP reveals the following wants it seems (correct if wrong):
MX Brown
~87 key base
Hardwired USB
Multiple keyboards fitting above specifications, 2-3
Based in Europe

Thats pretty much it, In all honesty I'm quite happy to spend all my money on one keyboard but inreality I was thinking more like 2-3 keyboards

[YMSNoms]

Ended Up Buying a Camo Brown Filco Guess more Filcos is less Filcos right?
