This site in TW used to be selling Clears for NT$10 (RM1~ish) each. I miss the good old days.

Palm rest buy separately.
Good keyboard don't come with palm rest.
i.e HHKB, Filco, Topre, Ducky, CM, etc.

For coding purpose + a little of gaming.
Tactile switches are recommended, like Cherry MX Brown, MX Clear, Topre.

So, recommendation for keyboard are Filco Majestouch 2 TKL MX Brown, Vortex Poker 2 MX Brown, HHKB Professional 2, Topre Realforce TKL.

Depends on what games you play.

Dota 2 or similar would be ok with blues.

Otherwise, I'd recommend Browns or light Topre.

how abt red?

red is consider the gaming switches so its the most used by gamer but it lack the tactile feedback so typist dont usually like them

try ur own first

i used to be blue switches typist and gamer, but my family can't tahan the clicky blue noisiness..

so im gotta get myself a more silence MKB next time, perhaps red or black..

Like I said it depends on what kind of games you play. FPS will be better with Reds.

Those were the times when I just started the mechanical keyboard journey when I just got my ducky and though customs were severely expensive.
Then again, the joy of assembling your own board is pretty sweet

i used to think blue is the best switch for me for typing usage.
but then i tried lubed vintage black with light spring (50-55g) and it's finish.


Typed with my Nerd TKL lubed vintage black with mx blue stock spring.

if equal mixture of fps, dota and typing, what switch would be preferable?
I always had browns in mind, but just testing the feel of the switches at the shop for 10mins doesnt give me enough info to make a decision.

i do play a variety of games genre and a decent amount of typing.
my favourite switch is still blue and modified black switch.

but when playing racing game with keyboard, i prefer black switch over blue.

and like i always mention to anyone asking for preferred switch, you gotta try it for yourselves.
individual preferences is different.
like how some ppl like ppl who is of different skin colour, some like their partner fat...

Only fat allowed on wimmin is at bewbies or butt

Brown normally don't give hhnnnnggghhh when 1st time try..
Last time I also feel the same..

If you type a lot, then will be mx brown or blue as the tactile feedback is important for typist.
If you game a lot, the preferable Mx red or black. Red is prefer if u game long hours.
Black is a bit heavy, so, ur fingers easily reached fatigue.

If 1:1 of game ratio to typing, then mx brown.

You can go try again and see which switch you like then just buy the 1 you liked.

Thanks ntw

modern day cherry mechanical keyboard

this is not just the switch, but the actual keyboard itself made by Cherry corp.

I own a vintage Cherry keyboard, but the one in the link is CHERRY’s MX-Board 3.0 Professional Keyboard. Click the link to read the review.


PS: the old cherry keyboards were not only good because of their switches, but also because of their higher contrast and durable doubleshot and even some dye sublimated keycaps. But over time they cheapened their products and switched to cheaper types of keycaps. So do keep an eye out for that when reading the review but thats not to say they aren't falling in line with what other mkb brands are offering, but it does give you a history of what their products once were like, and whether they've gone back to their old roots or just followed the todays mkb brand status quo.

strongly agreed on this point

haven't had finger aches since moving to a cherry brown from a rubber dome. tried blacks but damn... so uncomfortable

red's .... nice at first but then you realize it's too light considering it's linear. for me who often rest my finger tips lightly on keyboard (even by accident) may actually depress during a game which could be fatal

blues, clicky, don't like the sound. also read it has issues for double tapping for games that utilize that sort of gaming tactics. i didn't test this myself but thats what people say
