Hello, first post here :)
A few weeks ago i bought my first mechanical keyboard, the cm storm quickfire pro with cherry mx reds, and i immediately figured i didnt like it. Soon i will sell it, so now i am looking for a replacement. Anyone here ever bought kbds from mechanicalkeyboards.com? is the shipping cost to europe (italy here) high? importation taxes? thanks :)

Pretty expensive, yes. Tax is about 20% all around Europe: but only for importing from outside. So you're better with a European retailer if you can find one.

What are you after?

Nothing special, took a general look and saw a quite nice backlit tkl keycool, but with shipping n importation its just too expensive.
I think i'll get a kbt pure with mx whites (stronk fingers) from kbtrace for a bit less than 120€. Build quality should be good right?

Same league as Keycool and CM, I've heard.

MX white is an interesting switch. Heavier than a blue, but much quieter too. Cherry calls it "soft click" for good reason. Green is the heavy blue with a full click.
