I picked up a Corsair K70 (non-RGB Cherry MX Reds) because I felt the novelty of the RGB lights will wear off on me eventually and I didn't think the premium was worth it.

Using a Ducky Shine 3 brown switches, no complaints; very nice keyboard.

Picked up a Corsair K65 RGB referb from best buy for $99. The keyboard looks brand new. Really liking it so far.

Corsair K65 RGB USB Gaming Keyboard (CH-9000072-NA/RF) - Refurbished : Gaming Keyboards - Best Buy Canada

Ducky is one of the best

Good price but sucks that it's TKL and has no USB pass through.

Definitely can't go wrong with Ducky, I use a shine 4 with mx browns and Keycool rainbow caps. Im in CompSci and brought it to a midterm once, very awkward...loud clack clack clak

Has anyone seen if there is a place that locally carries the metal keycap removers? Mine came with the hard plastic ring puller. I find the hard plastic is a bit rough on the edges of the keycaps when removing them.

Do not want:

So far so good. I love the minimalist approach, although the position of the delete/backspace button is a bit annoying at first. Also the removal of arrow keys is a bit pita as well, but I'm amazed how fast my hands adapted to the FN keys to use everything.

The Topre switch is simply incredible. I thought I'd stick with Cherry Blacks for the rest of my life... and boy was I wrong. The actuation feels more natural as in the point of actuation happens just slightly above the bottom rather than basically at the "click" on Cherry black. The feedback is just... different, in a good way. As there is less of a click, it provides less shock bouncing back and I feel it being easier on my fingers typing for an extended period.

Also, the color matches great with my LG 5K monitor. The crappy pic is showing more grey-ish, but IRL, it's very black.

I got a filco majestouch mx red ninja few months back from NCIX. ($140)

Loveeeee the touch of the keyboard
But I hate the wire and I miss some of the multifunction control on the logitech mx5500 I replaced (mainly volume control)

I just notice the same filco keyboard comes with wireless function..kinda regret not getting that. (Tho I am not sure if I wanted to spend $240 on a keyboard ... plus NCIX said it has to be order from Japan and will take a while)

I like the mx red switch so much I wanted to replace my work keyboard too, but there is almost nothing in mx red with wireless...except for the filco which is not in stock and $240....
