Sexy Mechanical Keyboard Thread

I have an old Cherry board with MX Blues this has an AT din style plug on it so i know its pretty old. I also have a Corsair K90 with MX Red switches and a Zowie Celeritas with MX Browns.

MX Browns are my absolute favourite, the right amount of force and feedback. I prefer the actuation point and the no noise of the Browns to the Blues. Reds are very nice, much better than blacks but linear switches feel empty to me.

Id love to try a buckling spring switch.

I'm very jelly gamerguy, that is an awesome collection!

Here's mine

- Filco Majestouch 2 / Ten Keyless / Cherry MX Brown Switches
- Custom keycap set made at wasdkeyboards.com

And here is the wrist rest I made.

I'm interested in purchasing a backlit 10keyless but I'm still debating on which ones to look at. Keycool, or possibly the 10keyless CODE clear switch from wasdkeyboards.

Ha, I remember when you posted this in the sexy hardware thread with your custom keycaps you had just received. Love it. :toast:

Yes it was directed at the image, and if that model offers other color choices I might pick one up. Used to most of their stuff just being black / blue and thats it.

I have yet to play with it, but at CES it could be any color, and it does offer per-key illumination, so even if a bit of a pain you could set them all to whatever color. Pretty sure with their software, it would be as easy as clicking on the color to set the whole board one color somewhere

crazyeyesreaper · Nov 6, 2013

Sounds like a winner then, but this is why sticking to one theme can bite a company in the ass. With almost everything they do being that one theme for so long. I stopped following their products. Good to see they are changing things up. Looking forward to the review on it Sneeky.

sneekypeet · Nov 6, 2013

I cannot argue that! But on that same note, I think the lighting has a lot to do with the hype of this solution. If things have changed since I last saw what they planned to offer, I will pipe up here, even if it is prior to the review.

Just got a new Corsair K70 with MX brown switches on monday

Upgraded from a K90 which was sold to a UK TPU member almost instantly

I've been waiting to purchase a mechanical keyboard for a while, and I went with your choice as well. I just ordered it, and excited for my first mechanical experience.

May have to pick one up for myself as well. Been looking to get myself a mechanical replacement for my Isku, specifically with MX Browns. Not only does the Ryos have the Browns, but it's basically a more ergonomic Isku. Win freakin' win, baby!

I love that keyboard if only it was a fully programmable keyboard

I like my dad's, but wouldn't own one myself. I like the extra programmable keys on "gaming" keyboards, especially the thumb buttons on my current Isku.

I was debating between both the K70 and the ROCCAT. I love Corsair products, but chose the ROCCAT for the extra features.

Digging the red PCB....

What about hybrid switches?

They less prone to key wobble ?.. Looks like they have more surface area when they are pressed than cherry's do..

sneekypeet · Nov 29, 2013

They still wobble a bit, but the idea, as Topre puts it, is to remove the part on part grinding that happens with say a Cherry Switch. So no drag, or that slight gritty feel you get when Cherry switches are pressed off center.
