best cherry mx brown

[omer sanilevich]

hi, ive recently been in the market for a keyboard (as my Cyborg V9 gave out after only 6 months...) and ive decided i wanted cherry mx brown switches. I looked for good keyboards in a lot of places and i came up with some names - corsair k70, ducky, and filco. the k70 is currently out of stock so thats out of the question, but now which one is better-filco or ducky? im open to suggestions btw... and that means any other keyboard with cherry mx brown (there arent so many but still...)thanks!

Filco.
There's no question about it.
Another one you might have missed is WASD.
You can customize your keyboard @ http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/
I believe they use the same ODM as Filco.

105 keyboard is the standard European layout and 104 keyboard layout is what we use in the USA.

Similarly 88 and 87 are the European/USA layout respectively without the number pad

Among the well known mechanical names (Ducky, Filco, Mionix, Coolermaster, Das, Steelseries, WASD) you cant really go wrong. Its just a matter of finding which one has the features you want in it.

I recommend a Ducky Shine III, I use a Shine II and love the thing. The improved reactive lighting mode looks pretty awesome.

probably should've mentioned that I don't like flashy keyboards, just something simple with a nice click to it and a very long life. thanks 😀

Get a Filco Majestouch Ninja Brown.

Here's a video review of a mx blue.

You can get a ninja if you want the lettering on the front of the keys instead of the top and you can grab a tenkeyless if you don't want a numberpad.

You could get a Ducky Zero keyboard.

Can you (or anyone) find a ducky zero with MX Brown that will ship to the states? I've really been searching and can't find any in-stock.

There's a few on newegg. You can also try using NCIX - their Canadian site has more mechanical keyboards than their US counterpart.
