Is the FC200R basically the same board as the FC500 besides the FC500 being fullsize of course? I don't think I can give up my tenkeys, haha. | ||

But I find that the more I type on my mech kb the less force I use on the keys. I still hit bottom but not as hard as I did at first. Ya learning not to bottom out my MX Blues is pretty hard. I can tell it takes less force to get a key to register but I keep pushing too hard anyways. | ||

NKRO with the included PS2 Adapter. Do yourself a favor and save 50 bucks. Buy this keyboard. Finally someone else with a Cherry brand keyboard... which model did you get? | ||

I can't find too many reviews of it. http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=leopold,fullsize&pid=fc500rtab# I have 2 of the FCR200 10 keyless models. One brown otaku and One with Reds. They are both great! Highly recommended! | ||

I have had enough of it and am willing to spend the 100 to get a solid mech keyboard, simply cannot have long ladder sessions because of finger strain. I do not care about the clicky sounds (although I guess its a bonus) but I want comfort over everything else. After doing some basic research it seems brown switches are ideal for this. The zowie celeritas seems to be my top choice atm. Any one have any suggestions or advice? Basically I want to be able to grind many ladder games efficiently and comfortably if your located in the US, Ducky/ leopold/ Rosewills are your best bet. Zowies are meh to me, more along the line of g6v2 quality. Duckies range from $50/80/100/120/150 Rosewills range from $99/109 Leopolds range from $89/99/109 my top pick of these 3 are leopolds then rosewills then duckys. If you play alot of RTS then browns/reds are preferred. if you play MMO/FPS then black/blues preferred. | ||

I had a 6gv2 and personally I didnt like it at all, the cherry black switches imo took to much effort to type on and it just felt weird. It also had the big ass enter key which I didnt like and the keys began to fade a month after I got it. | ||
