When I first use Brown switch (coming from HHKB Topre). I also have the same feeling like you. But after some time. I getting use to it already. It is indeed a bit ligther to me. I would suggest maybe put a rubber o-ring if your bottom out often. I type a lot so the Tactile Bump do help me a lot.

I got a Maltron with Black Swtiches now, wow.. That is just too stiff and heavy to me. Still cant get use to it.  rclxub.gif

Lol. Define exposed. I don't know what kind of desktop setup you have, but if your keyboard drops often and you tug a lot on the cable then... No further comment. blink.gif

Unless you want something like the Quick Fire Rapid.
....

Exposed?
...
Pinjam your image kai.

Or a cable that is not detachable like a Filco.

The RK9000 usb socket is not recessed like the Coolermaster one your picture so its a weak point.

I move my keyboard out of the way now and then to make space for books/papers and other equipment and it fell once or twice because I placed the kb on a pile of papers at the edge of the desk. Not a big risk here but could happen again.

Whats more likely is that I might drop something heavy right on the usb socket and break it. So the usb socket part is weak and lousy and won't work for me.

heck even my Filco broke at the wire connection part even though it's hard wired, and I didn't even move the keyboard that often.
Now i will only find those keyboards that have cable routing grooves, at least there is no stress at the wire connection.

Like backlighting? Like simple look? Like glossy?

You can also consider the CMStorm keyboard line, like QuickFire Rapid, TK, or Trigger

Well in that case, you can find QuickFire TK here in Malaysia for Blue/Brown/Red switch.
For Rapid and Trigger, I can't find any MX Blue and Brown switch here in Malaysia sweat.gif

Filco is expensive... Owned one and it died on me. Will never get another in my lifetime anymore.

I got one thing to ask here.
Is QuickFire TK / Rapid using oem key ? as in sizes.

So far I only know that quickfire tk using diff modifier for bottom rows. Any more ideas ?

Apart from the bottom row, other are pretty much standard.

QUOTE(Neo|ofGeo @ Jan 22 2013, 10:29 PM)
Apparently MX Brown Switches aren't really what i fancy for
sweat.gif
my hands easily make and mistake here because its rather too soft for me....
>_> well i am using BlackWidow Tournament Stealth Edition 2013 so i guess not much quality key caps here or it is just that brown switches are really soft?

the features are neat and i get it for RM135 so not a single complain just that i feel it still softer.
a big leap for me since the last keyboard are Gigabyte Force K3

so sifu here,
should i let go of this mechanical keyboard(which i can still resell at RM240 at my friend) or should i just test around first?
*
Give it some time to adapt. Migrating to new switch/layout normally will cause some unease and typo.
