I've been meaning to stick it on ebay.

Comes with key puller and red tops for WASD & numbers 1-6:

Mate, that's a lovely offer thank you but I'll be using different switches and my soldering skills are somewhere between zero and non-existent.

Just one question though: How do you deal with the noise these things make?  ???

You can get different switches, quiet or loud. in most keyboards they are soldered in (but still changeable), in a few keyboards you can change them out (hotswap). Basic guide to the main Cherry brand switches (although there are 100s of others)

I really like the brown ones. Light, but not too sensitive.

Boring to look at. Great keyboard: https://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard/uk-filco-majestouch-2-nkr-tactile-action-keyboard.asp

Do you get on OK with the Cherry MX browns? I found them a little scratchy and rough - Gaterons apparently much smoother but need to get my hands on a couple to test. Will take a look at that kb - looks nice!

What is wrong with the regular keyboards?

I hardly ever notice keyboard being the limiting factor :o


[edit] Please don't shout. Your keyboard appears to have a problem with lower case.
