I have that same keyboard with red switches.  I haven't used brown so I can't say how they compare but I know a lot of gaymers prefer red

yes

blue and browns are good for typists, they have a nice tactile feel and the former require more force to push down the actuator
blacks and reds are linear and good for muh gaymen
clear is ?????

What do you mean by linear?

What do you mean by linear?

the travel on them is one smooth motion until you bottom out; there's no tactile 'bump' to them

HMMMM what a world we live in

I got this back November because I had a giftcard card from mommy.



my old logitech keyboard had ghosting issues and it made me suck at binding of isaac

i have an ibm model m that i love
want to get some fancy tenkeyless one with maybe brown switches but green seems real good tbh (also curious about topre switches), and custom keycaps
some shit like this is p. close to what I want:


though with a light grey body probably

[strongbad]

yeah i really like the look of that
totally down for not having the numpad, too

I got around to making my work buy me a mechanical keyboard

but it had to come from staples or cdw-g so i went with this: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Mechanical-Keyboard-Tactile-High-Speed/dp/B009C98NPY

[strongbad]

eh im sure it feels great but it looks kinda ugly
ive been thinking about grabbing one somehow recently

[strongbad]

gonna scour all the weird electronic stores i can find this week for a mini mech
wish me luck
