I want a Filco Majestouch 2 Ninja TKL. I considered getting the non ninja from Amazon but I'm the type of consumer that would be VERY disappointed if I didn't get exactly what I wanted. A member was kind enough to link the regular one on Amazon and a website in UK but I want the ninja edition nao...:'(

But seriously, is there any store that could get me this in a fairly short amount of time?

What kind of games do you play?



Tbh its kind of hard to say which switch, it'd be best if you tried them all out in a store or something. Watch some videos, read up on it

Well if you've used nothing but rubber domes for your entire life, I would not recommend a linear switch to start off with. If you can live with a slightly noisier keyboard, then MX Blues are the way to go. Tactile and clicky, MX Blues are my personal favorite...

I would but I like living and I suspect my wife would kill me if she had to endure the blue clicks while I pvp in Guild Wars 2. I tend to stay up late and until we get a bigger house, my man cave is a man corner in the TV room. My "research" led me to the Cherry MX reds so that's where I'm leaning currently.

Fair warning: if you consistently bottom out it won't matter what Cherry switch you get; it will be loud. Solution: O-rings.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cherry-MX-Keycap-Rubber-O-Ring-Switch-Dampeners-40A-L-125pcs-/120991339204?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item1c2ba552c4

These will significantly dampen the sound of bottoming out, and will keep wifey happy...

If you are a sufficient touch-typist then you don't need to worry as much... but still, O-rings help alot...

After going through all the standard MX switches I'd recommend going with MX Browns as your first mech board. They are a do-it-all switch and not many people don't like them.

I typically wait until the Keyboard Co UK - Amazon storefront has the board I want in stock. http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?ie=UTF8&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&me=A104717BI2VJF7

I'm glad I picked up the Brown and Red TKL ninjas when I did. They were in stock for the longest time and they seemed to have all disappeared in the last week or so. They still have a full size red ninja in stock though....
