Well.. I guess I could switch.
I'm already using an ANSI keyboard (with the german qwertz layout) at home so I just would have to change the layout to US and get a new keyboard for work.

I switched from my weird 7.5 finger system to touch typing in 3 days (with 35wpm right now, 110 before) so the ...

Thanks for the answers. The CM Storm Quickfire Rapid looks nice.

Are there much more tenkeyless ANSI keyboards? I've been thinking about switching from ISO to ANSI, but I'm not sure whether it's worth it or not

I am looking for a tenkeyless ISO keyboard with mx blue or black switches.
The only one I found so far is the Filco Majestouch 2. Is it really the only one that meets my requirements? Are there any other tenkeyless (or at least really compact) ISO keyboards out there?
I will use blank caps so the ...

I opened it to clean it and there is a sticker on the board saying "G80-3000LSMDE". So I guess they just put a the board into another case

Maybe the board or case was switched some day?

omg omg omg!

I just found 2 keyboard geeks here at work AND I got the Cherry G80 with blues for free and might get more (clears and blacks) soon!

Aaand I noticed something really weird:
The article number is Cherry G80-3000LPMDE/01. According to the wiki:
- G80 = MX switches
- 3000
- L = Lasered ...

Hmm I'll ask, but I doubt they will sell them all. We still have many people typing on those old keyboards (whereas the fujitsu standard keyboards die all the time hehe).

Sorry for double posting, but this is kind of a bump, too.

I had an even better idea. I asked the guy who manages all the stuff in the basement and he left me alone down there with 3 huge boxes full of old keyboard :D

So I just tried several Cherry G80 with clears, blacks and blues for 30 ...

I love my blacks and as far as I can tell the feel and sound of blues so I will most likely get either blacks or blues.

I definitely won't buy the blackwidow. I heard that the quality is pretty bad (keys getting stuck and overall sturdiness) and it has extra macro keys, a numpad and a pretty big ...

Oh I tried neo2 a few times but always ended up going back to qwertz/qwerty to not go insane and be productive again.

I used to like Hardcore, the nick is a few years old and I moved to minimal, electro and DnB

Already ordered one. First of all to try the different switches and rings and then to make a keychain out of one of the switches

I write qwertz and qwerty with a weird 7.5 finger system at 100-110wpm :D
I always wanted to try another layout but as a programmer and heavy keyboard user I rely on tons of shortcuts :/

My left hand always is in the gamer position: shift wasd space and my right hand lies on j o p even tho' I only ...

I live in Germany (I can easily get to Hamburg).

Yeah I know the blues are pretty loud.. I don't mind that, but at night my parents next door do D:
Even my blacks are pretty loud when I bottom out, I will probably get o-rings for the Noppoo Choc soon.

Oh and I just saw that you can order samples ...

So the short answer is: buy more keyboards until you find one you like?

Thats the problem. I will probably order a Cherry G80-3000 with blues on amazon and send it back after a week.
I hate to do that but I can't afford buying several 80€+ keyboards (the Filco alone is around 170€ here)

Hey,

this is my first post after reading here for a while.
About a year ago I decided to get a mechanical keyboard and since I played most of the time I got a Noppoo Choc Mini with MX Black switches. I've been typing on the Blacks for a year now and I am totally used to them. The first week was ...
