Thinking of getting a red switch when I get back to KL. Been doing some research and I like Vortex's 75% Race although I'm also considering QFRs and Filco's MJ2.

Can any owners shed some of their experience with said keyboards?

Much appreciated, thanks!

gotta try it to know the feel of the layout and the difference in switch mounting. race might feel kinda light because of the absence of a backplate as opposed to the qfr and it has a kinda of a different sound as well, i own both red switches, typing this on the qfr tongue.gif tho you wanna buy a set of pbt for the qfr because the stock abs is honestly crap.

Yeah, that's what I read on GH tongue.gif UK prices are dumb. Might buy from Kai and get it shipped for far less than what I pay here in UK. I think they go for RM600 on Amazon due to our dumb 20% VAT.


That and I asked heavyarm about his QFR and they're the older batch with the god awful branding. doh.gif Also there's that soldering issue I read about on reddit. mmm.
