bro.... i was having real hard time now... i am thinking of blue and red...

i heard that red from u guys... in this forum... most of u guys using what?? i know most own more than one type of switch... but what is the fav...i know also it is preferrence... any most FAV one? i hope there is a voting poll so i can see result.. haha

abang abang sekalian, lol... i just got my first mechanical keyboard which is the CM STORM QUICKFIRE TK with Brown switch. I did not try any other switch yet but juts listen to ZILLION of youtube review and sound test. and quite amazingly, those youtuber can record quite a similar sound just like what i expect i will get with the keyboard on my brown.

Anyway, I know that the TK is having a weirder layout, which basically mean the spacebar and some other key that do not fit a full set of keycap.

I was wondering if there is any website or seller selling keycap that is easy to browse and buy? because i hate taobao... its in chinese, i can read but just tired of reading all those chinese word. If there is no other seller, then i guess i will go for taobao...

Another thing is that, i am VERY VERY VERY fond of those NINJA/STEALTH key, is there any such key WITH those font printed sideway, and is compatible for backlit ... LOL!!! please guide me.tq~

Bro, from ur signature, i see that u have used the RK9000 before... so how was it compare to the TK? for me, i've never use such build quality keyboard. The key is matte type and everything feel so good when typing, unlike most membrane keyboard that have the shinny plastic type.

anyway, i will try to see heavyarm, if i can get any alpha keycap set... just the alpha will do... other is ok.... hope i can get those alpha in STEALTH mode.. tat would be awesome.!

where do u get those PBT keycaps? is it backlit through?

EDIT: and i realize you used the blue switch too... how do u compare to the brown u using now?? LOL

on top of switches, i might do some explaination/review of how i feel after a "purposely" long period of usage by spamming friend in the chat box on my CM Storm QF TK brown.

I realize that the key register are just a TAD lower from the initial position, and bottoming out the key is far over what u need to register that key. So, i start to have that kind of "gliding-over-the-key" feel to get all my words and sentence typed out.

At first, i tot what is the diff of a good membrane and mechanical. Good membrane like those microsoft sidewinder x4, if anyone know which one i mean is also very nice to type on assuming u bottoming out all key and do not touch type on it. But after u get use to the motion of gliding and touch type. I realize that membrane cant do so. Since mechanical do not need any bottoming out to register a key.

So back to the BROWN switch. I honestly say that i did not try out the red, neither the blue. so i do not know how those feel. But all i can say is BROWN actually sound loud too when u bottom out (maybe i like to be in a silent room). but it gets quieter when i try to touch type on it, which require some practice. FYI, my average typing speed is around 80WPM. so not too fast, but not too slow as well.

Other than the sound of it, the feel of the so called bump. After ton and tons of review from the net, they claim that the BUMP is there on the BROWN and it gets hard to notice when u start to type fast and bottom out. Partially true, but not fully true. Since you are touch typing, u can feel the bump nicely, add on with the bottom out sound (if you do), you definately can feel something there. Its like u dunno what it is, but there is something to tell u, you have already registered the key. I tried out this by typing back and forth from my logitech membrane to the cherry mx brown. and obviously the membrane do not give u the "stop there" feeling.

Finally, the CONs about the cm quickfire tk brown is that the key height. most high end membrane have very very low key, i mean its almost like those laptop or iMac keyboard, just like the microsoft sidewinder. The tall key height make me think of getting a wrist rest mat to shim up slight of my forearm to get that maximum comfort. Another thing is the unusually layout, but i dont think this is a problem for me since i am using the numpad like less than 10 times a year? lol...

GUYS, my chinese not so good... is this keycap can have LED backlit THRU? because if it can.. seems like my dream cap... a NINJA side print mode + LED THRU : )

Someone help > <

i am user of CM QF TK. and i dont find any problem with the layout apart of finding a full set keycap mod for it... usually u still able to mod on the 37 key... then get some custom spacebar or something....

If u dont wan backlit... maybe the CM QFR is a good choice thou... or if u dont mind MIC.... keycool sound promising to me and is very cheap : )

u will love brown.... i tried blue with my hand.. and i think brown is good... if u say brown is silent.. its not as silent also...

OMG!!!! i've gotten into venomancer poison+ ulti... i have brown key. and i think of red now
