Reddit reviews Cherry MX Blue Switch Standard Corded Keyboard - 104 Keys (G80-3000LSCEU-2)

Cherry g80-3000 with MX blues is pretty utilitarian and $93 with free shipping.

keep an eye out on r/mechmarket, i'm sure you could find something there. Also, Massdrop is a good place to watch too, there's a thermaltake for around $80 shipped right now. Cherry G80-3000 on Amazon could be a good option http://www.amazon.com/Cherry-G80-3000LSCEU-2-Standard-Keyboard/dp/B0018ACJXW/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1459097747&sr=8-14&keywords=cherry+mx+blue

Hey guys, I'm trying to re-create the DAS Keyboard 2 Ultimate (I know it's just a re-branded Cherry G80-3000). I ordered https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018ACJXW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - Where can I get the blank keycaps, I'm not too sure what kind of blank keycaps DAS used, does anyone have an idea?? Thank you!

Years go I had a razer blackwidow with mx blues.

the last few years ive been using the newer razer keyboard with their own green switches.for one reason or another, that one melted... I don't want to talk about it...

so now im in the market for a new keyboard but I'm having trouble finding one i like.

i've spent a few days looking at keyboards online now and im just getting frusturated because everything i see is PRO GAMING KEYBOARD XX9000K2 or something stupid with backlighting and absoluetely no bezel.

I don't want a compact keyboard, i don't need backlights, i don't want my arrow keys jammed up next to my control button.

I want the | \ button above enter like a normal keyboard would have. I want one with a bezel that goes all the way around the keyboard and around the home/end/arrow buttons. i want the bezel to be raised up enough to at least cover the bottom of the key's "skirts". if you dont know what i mean look at any corsair mechanical gaming keyboard with their lewd exposed switches.

i dont want another razer keyboard because over the last 10 years every products of their i've bought has been cheaper and worse than the last.


This is exactly what i want... if i could get it with blue or brown switches...

this is the same ^ keyboard ^ but with blue switches. its sold on amazon, supposedly by cherry but why would they list this on amazon but on their website say its only available with silent switches? it looks sus to me... ( I only found this keyboard while writing this post - ill probably buy it if nobody has better suggestions)

this one deleted my |\ button for a stupid thicc enter key...



my friend told me nobody makes keyboards like that anymore and i almost think hes right but thats just so stupid i dont want to believe him.

i would also be open to non-cherry keys like buckling spring or something else.

i would like to spend 80-100 on this but i could go as high as 150 if i need to.

I just watched the video of Linus touring the cherry factory, and my question is, how does the whole cherry switch world work? Do companies like Flico, Razer, Ducky, etc, order switches from Cherry, and then build the rest of the keyboard? So the only keyboard that go though the testing shown in the video are the Cherry brand official keyboards? stuff like this? which we hardly see posted, because they're so simple?

Why are the happy hacking keyboard so expensive? Is it common with all topre boards or is the price inflated due to branding?

How similar are these keys to those that come with the G80 - this one for example?

I like that design, least [this one] (https://www.amazon.com/Standard-Corded-Keyboard-Cherry-Switches/dp/B0018ACJXW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494262363&sr=8-1&keywords=Cherry+G80-3000) very proffessional looking and a nice little Cherry Logo
