If you're after a nice typing experience and aren't prepared for the loud, clicky nature of the blues, go for Browns.

this is a long shot but does anybody know where to get the white version of the Coolermaster Quickfire Rapid TK in cherry browns?

OCUK would obviously be my immediate first choice if they stocked it (hint)

Hi, Unfortunately the QuickFire TK white is EOL now. However, as the shell is removable, it is modable, and I have seen a number of painted ones in the past.

Saying that, modding would void your warranty.

Thanks Sircles. I'm looking at getting hold of it from abroad (reluctantly).

I think the white casing is so worth having. What do you think?

It's a very difficult to choice to make unless you have had any previous experience with the different types of switches.

thanks for the info, had a steelseries m800 apex, but the numpad would not work, nor would the replacement so going back to some vendor online for a new model

looking at brown switches, using a mad catz kb and a rat te mouse as the latter is smooth and light

currently looking at these:-

QPAD MK85 Pro Gaming Cherry MX Brown Switch Keyboard
Razer Pro Gaming Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth
Corsair Gaming CG K70
Corsair STRAFE Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – Cherry MX Brown

had discounted the qpad until I read the review here

will probably decide tonight or friday

Are Razer green switches the same as the blue in your review I take it? As I see Razer are mentioned under the blue switches.

What type of switch is used in Logitech MX Keys?
I'm thinking of going custom wired but heavily inspired by MX Keys/Apple keyboard.
