Looking for a full size brush aluminum cherry MX keyboard and no Corsair
« on: Fri, 29 March 2013, 02:12:51 »
I already look into the K70, I won't buy Corsair again due to 2 bad SSD that I am stuck with.  I can't stand looking at their brand name

I found SIIG and Enermax, very nice brush aluminum, but they are scissor, not cherry MX.  I don't know how much of a difference between the 2 technology.

here's ENermax:

here's SIIG:

any suggestion?

Scissors typically goes on laptops because of their low profile and short travel. Known to last 5-10M cycles
MX Goes on standard keyboards and are rated 50M cycles. They come in many flavors (Clicky, Tactile non clicky or linear) with varios spring forces.

Expect to play at least twice the price of the two boards above. Choose your keyboard then buy a separate aluminum case for it.

Has anyone made a full size aluminum case?  I have only seen TKL or Poker.

I heard rumors that a Full Size Filco one was made but the source was skeptical that it was anything but a rumor. I've never seen any full size cases. Maybe you have a new project to work on? :P

Aren't made any more. GL if you want one. And yes, they're Filco inside.

the above do sell Al case.  But I don't like Al by itself, brushed Al is more appealing.  Looking at a keyboard daily, if it looks ugly, it's hard to put up with after a year
