Newegg's house brand is offering four different keyboards, one equipped with each of the Cherry MX keyswitches: http://techreport.com/articles.x/23405 I found it an interesting read. "Of the four models we sampled, the RK-9000BR with brown Cherry MX switches is our favorite. None of the switch types are perfect, but the browns do the best job of balancing accuracy and ease of repetition, which makes them great for gaming. Also, the fact that the browns feature a tactile bump without an overly shrill click makes them, in our opinion, superior to the blues for typing. The blues are just unpleasantly loud, and the gritty feel of their tactile bump=97plus the dead zone between the actuation and release points=97can make them uncomfortable." I beg to differ: as previously mentioned, I switched one of my two Kinesis Advantage keyboards from brown to blue keyswitches, and much prefer the blues. But it's all a matter of personal taste. Without a doubt, the blues are noisier! --=20 Giles http://www.gilesorr.com/ [email protected] ------------------------------------ To Post a message, send it to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send a blank message to: [email protected]= omYahoo!
