Maybe I'm pointing out the obvious, forgive me if so, but a keyboard with Browns will be nothing like one with Blues like the Razer you already own

I own both and while I love Browns even more than Blues, I don't want you to be all disenchanted when you start typing on your new toy

DasKeyboards are great. I like the minimalist styling and the Silent version with the brown switches.

That'd be hard since the only options available are not on NCIX, namely the X-Armor U9BL-S and the Decks if he wanted to try clears.

Clearly the price of the OP's computer is relevant to this discussion

He can preorder the Zibla on ncix, it's backlit but has the black switches.

Btw it's way easier to change the switch on a kb one don't like, that add the backlight on a non backlit brown keyboard.

Black switches, difference?

Also, by similar I mean't layout

Black switches don't make the click, and don't have a tactile bump. They are called linear switches. Some people say they are bad for typing and good for gaming. I think they are great for typing, but I prefer browns right now for gaming.

Click to expand...
They are linear, the key goes down w/o any tactile feedback.

Personally i find the black keyboards inferior to any 5$ rubber dome keyboard for general use, but they are surely good for gaming, at least for the games that requires repeatedly key presses.

BTW all is matter of personal preferences, here.

In my opinion, for anyone who has not tried any of the switches, then brown is always a safe bet.

Me personally have always like the Blues even before I got the keyboard simply because I like the clickity clackin.
