LOL.
Having presentation just now I dont know what I am talking

No one doing group buy for this?

Thanks for the info, i have actually read the first page on each Cherry key switch colours earlier. Kudos to TS for the effort!
I'm just a little concerned on the Red switches used on the K70 whether they felt like the generic original Cherry's. I've went and surveyed and tried a few other keyboards but what would be the best switch (or should i say popularly used?) for say; typing (70%) and gaming (30%)?

Noted on the non-standard keycaps sizes but yeah, the design and build material used for the K70 looks superb!

The red is linear and i heard alot of feedbacks around the net saying its not so suitable for typing as one accidentally tends to hit the keys nearby easily. I guess i'm leaning a little towards the browns - a bit tactile but doesn't have the noise of Blues...

Why no go ur own?
Doing gb is a lot of hassels.
Exchange rate is a b****.
Last time i collected 36 end up some ppl not replying last minute.
Have to cancel a lot. At last cancel till 13 from payment received.
No untung already enough but you rugi if you dont charge more.
Then higher price better for them to buy their own.

I considering to take Poker 2 because it is compact but 60% KB don't have F1 to F12 key right? It is important in gaming, how about nappoo guys? Izzit a good brand? Or maybe just buy F104 from 016

Popular switches, black, red, brown, blue.
No one can classify which is the best suitable switch with the proportion of usage.

The one that saying Red is easier to cause accidental keystroke is a joker, they nv really even type on red before, if thats the case, those thin scissor keys on laptop will be totally non-usable because they are so linear and so thin to be easily actuated?

for typing, anything also can wan.
it all boils down to preference.
red switch although is advertised as a gaming switch, doesn't mean it's not good for typing, some ppl might like the soft linear key.
same thing goes for blue switch which is advertised as typing switch, is being used by many gamers also, even Razer uses blue switch in their mkb.
bottom line is, let your finger decide

I'm having the opposite of your requirements, 30% typing and 70% gaming. I picked browns in the end because I like the feel of browns. Blues are slightly more tactile (and noisy) but it's not as noisy as you would think.

Reds and blacks are totally unsuitable for typing (personally, of course) because it doesn't give you the clicky response (you want the click to register on your fingers for the fastest typing speed). Reds are just too soft for actual touch typists, and blacks are a little too stiff to type too much. Remember that non-tactile switches (reds and blacks) usually expect users to bottom out (hence there is no need for a tactile "register" for the switches).

Hence, reds and blacks are usually recommended for FPS gaming (spend long time pressing on one/two buttons, "long" time meaning not released even after key is registered) because of WASD buttons and/or crouching, while browns and blues are usually for MMO/RTS/MOBA games because you'd pretty much want to click on each button once and once only for precision sake. So the requirement for gaming actually depends on your gaming preference.

I would also advise you to not be so concerned about the noise levels as you can get dampers (little rubber rings) for your keycaps that'll lessen the noise somewhat.

So, I'd recommend blues or browns for you (my mobile TKL is brown ), depending on how tough you want to smack the keyboard.

Red and black are totally non-suitable for typing? That is a big mistake son.

Sry boss. Should say not suitable for me.

No worries man some even purposely look for vintage black switches due to its ultimate linear feel.

Haha, to each his own, because I usually assume forums to have the built-in YMMMV+IMO assumptions when somebody say something.

In the end, get the feels you like.

Keyboards like boobs, at first you think it looks nice then good. But when you start touching and feeling and holding... totally different.

this one just selling the stems ah?

wanna ask , razer bw ultimate got sell the button ?

some of my kb button lose the lock ...
