Keyboard similiar to Logitechj G810. Size and switches?

[Chaos666]

Hi

i currently own Logitech G810.. and i love the keyboard in therms of layout and how the switches feel... but logitech romer g keycaps are a nightmare. Keycaps keep breaking (the little tabs inside that hold the key cap) and its impossible to buy replacements for a reasnoble price. I already replaced the switches for E, Q and A... and 4 keycaps that i manages to buy on ebay. Keycaps for CTRL are near impossible to buy.
I had to desolder and clear my shift and now my TAB button starts acting up. Logitech just says that the keyboard is out of warranty and the will not help. :/

I am looking for something similair in size/layout but on possibly cherry (or a clone) switches so i do not have similair problems in the future. I do not want to pay a fortune.
I bought TECWARE PHANTOM RGB 88 UK Layout (QWERTY) Mechanical Keyboard, RGB led, Outemu BROWN Switch to test. Its not bad but i realized i don't like TKL very quickly and the size is a bit different (it seems to be "too tall")

question 1: which switch is most similair to logitech romer g (omron) switch in g810
question 2: what would you recommend guys recommend? i don't really need media buttons but volume wheel would be nice.

if any keyboard expert wants to share his knowledge i will be very gratefull. It would be nice to be able to test some other keyboards myselft but i just don't have the capability or resources to do it.

Romer G is non-linear switch.
Meaning it has slight peak in required force before reaching actuation point, after which it behaves like light linear switch with lowish bottoming force.
MX Brown and its copies are pretty similar on that aspect.
But fail to give damn about noise and lack built in damping to soften noise in both down and up stroke.
Hence there are no other fully comparable switches with others having sharper sound.

Logitech's newer low profile GL switch is again rebranded on Kailh Choc

Unless you enjoy ruckus of old mechanical typewriters you better avoid MX Retro alias Blue and its copies.
Instead of just failing to give damn about noise, those add further extra noise.
Also tactile bump is harder.

well i am testing that TECWARE PHANTOM with Outemu BROWN switches again.. although i miss my numpad a lot i am slowly getting used to the keys. these seem to be more "springy"
