brown isn't quiet switch, but it just like a version of switch that don;t have the clicky sounds from mx blue.

If u can settle down without led backlit, CM quickfire Rapid might be the choice for standard layout of TKL size.
Else pretty much the brands suggested by sifu here .

Well so far from my experience about TK is quite good for the build quality. Its the first mech kb i own also after surveying for awhile.
Its heavier than i expected when i get a hold on it. And i also tried to stretch it like youtube video shown and it really no flex.
Imo, picking a kb is very depending on which what type of layout u get used to and how does the size matter on your usage.
Personally i need a kb that features as similar layout as my previous one since i need numpad and arrow keys with compact size coz table is small.

It depends mainly on your preference , as long as u can get used to its layout.
Though the only downside is some keycaps can't be replaced easily due to non-standard layout.
If u only need the arrow keys or TKL, u can turn off num lock and it works that way.

Here's the cons I think that may bother some users but i'm ok with since i ady get used to this layout after 2h of usage:
1. Brightness on F12 (Win Lock) and FN keys can't be adjusted
2. When LED turns on, FN and F12 keys won't light up unless u activate it.
3. When num lock is on, LEDs on num keys "2 0 00 and ." are off.


And one last thing is the arrow keys will light up and can't turn off when its in cursor mode and num4 = del key and num6 = page down etc.

Yup, mine is brown switch.
From what I know is red is lighter than brown.
Not sure about blue/brown is lighter than each other. Brown is similar feel as Blue, but no clicky sounds.

Local shops in Kuching don't have much choice for mx switches, and I don't have chance to test them out since they dun have demo set for ppl to test before buying, kinda bad imo. So i can only choose mx switch that probably suit me based on reviews, videos to make up my mind.

Hmm looks like I have mistaken on the tactility between them, thx for clarifying me .
The clicky somehow like notifying a key entered , while brown is quieter when touch typing while the bump is good for me to know i have typed something.

Haha, maybe ba since not much friends around me are interested into pc stuff.
6.79 , d2 latest change logs?

What's thee coming soon of filco keyboard o.o?

I;m having a trip to SG next year Jan probably, which pc shops got o.o?

Okay noted, hopefully I have time to pay a visit there . Since my sis said wanna stay at universal studio for one whole day, the other 2 days dunno do wut yet.

Hmm after stalking this thread for awhile, seems filco is very nice to get with.
Is the quality from it really makes big compact compared with other brands even if they are the same mx switches?
Edit: Hmm I mean the typing feel.
*Surf around net, it cost $139 on Amazon .

Yea, saw the gs thread selling price is at least rm100 cheaper than other country.
Now hopefully during the time in SG have a chance to test them .

Buy another one with mx blue switch and only use it when your bf not around .
K95 is too big for me .

C-zone (Compuzone) if I'm not mistaken, have some ducky/rosewill keyboards for testing?

If modding mx brown switch to mx clear, do i need to change the springs to get the heavier feeling from mx clear?

So means i just keep the existing springs on my current kb and only change the mx switches right?

Perhaps u need to test it carefully since mx brown isn't heavy. Press slowly before bottoming the keys u will definitely feel a small "stuck" or bump there.
While red one is no such feel i suppose.

I see, thx for clarifying . Plan to get Poker II and mode it to mx clear, and use small kb for my RT when back to hometown .

Yea, now u mention it and i thought only my TK has such brittle sounds on spacebar.
It doesnt gives solid sounds like other keys on same board.

Looks like the cost of changing mx switches are quite expensive.
Surf taobao and found that mx clear cost around rm5 each .

Add on: mx blue is slightly heavier than brown or the difference can't be felt? as i read on 1st page the actuation force of mx blue is 5g more than mx brown . might consider mx blue to save cost and hope i can bear with the clicky sounds or eventually loves it .

MX Clear switches.
This one is so much cheaper than taobao link i found to http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r...&id=21862859405
Hmm I have tried checkout with paypal and the website cant calculate price for shipping and return to page that indicate errors.

You replaced all the switches or partially?
