User questions & answers

Question:	Will this low profile mk2 supply brown mechanical key switches
Answer:	Only Cherry MX Red and Cherry MX Speed for now.
Question:	Tienen el teclado en español? En otras palabras con la tecla
Answer:	منتج جدا جميل
Question:	What is the best for a typist
Answer:	Even if I press the keyboard, my wrist is stressed so i think MX RED is best type, others are vary from company to company and everyone feels different. You should try several keyboards and decide.
Question:	For a student/gamer, what switch between the red and the browns would you recommend? Student above gamer
Answer:	tl;dr Brown switches are probably what you want.I'm a bit late to answer but, brown will be your best bet. Red and brown have the same low actuation force, at 45 cN. This means the keys require less pressure than say, the Cherry blue or black switches which have 50 cN and 60 cN respectively. The difference between red and brown is that brown switches are considered tactile, meaning it's easier to tell when the key has been pressed because there's a noticeable bump to confirm it. This makes brown preferred by people who type a fair amount but also game because it has the tactile feedback of blue and the low actuation force of red. Red is preferred by some gamers who'd rather not have the bump, since every millisecond matters in some games they'd prefer to reduce resistance in the switches as much as possible. For even faster response time the speed switches are the way to go; they are basically red switches but they actuate (register that you've pressed the key) at 1.2mm instead of 2mm.

User questions & answers

Question:	How secure is the space key ? the usual one clip and one switch key or more heavy duty
Answer:	I've found it to be very secure, but I'm not sure if the spec on that.
Question:	What is the difference among the cherry mx blue, red, brown switches pm the rosewill mechanical keyboards
Answer:	Cherry MX Blue are the clicky keys. It took a long time for them to perfect the RGB Blue switch. I waited a long time. They were first announced in 2014, to come out in the fall. They came out, but in super limited run, I'm talking about less than 100 keyboards and they sold out. Than I waited another full year, before they started having about 2 dozen keyboards every month that had these type switches. I finally was able to get a couple keyboards with them. Now it seems production is improving, as corsair was the only company who had access to them, now I see several companies with them. So if you like the loud click, and RGB, grab a Cherry MX BLUE RGB you won't be disappointed. I type between 130-170wpm depending on what I'm doing, and with the blue switches I can hear a mistake if i make one. Very satisfying click. I myself went with the corsair K95, but they are always sold out. Corsair website has some K70 with the Blue switches, about 3 days ago they had 43 in stock, today down to 21, so you best hurry if you are getting corsair. Corsair is nice because all the keys are raised, so they are super easy to remove and clean the areas around the keys.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it noise a lot? will it annoy my co workers in an open work floor environment
Answer:	A clicky mechanical keyswitch such as a Cherry MX Blue or Green or Brown, will make a relatively loud click even if you type very lightly. Pounding the keys won’t make the clicks any louder. If you pound the keys and “bottom” them out, they will make a little more noise. If you whack them with a 16-pound sledge hammer as hard as you can, you can get them to be a little louder. Make sense?
Question:	Are the "Enter" and "Shift" keys supposed to feel different than the other keys when pressed? It only seems to be affecting the two that are close
Answer:	I just got mine and I also notice shift,caps, tab, space all have a heavier feel to push them. I am not sire if that's how it is supposed to feel though.
Question:	How many usb plugs need to be plugged into your computer
Answer:	The K95 requires 2 USB 2.0 ports (one for the keyboard itself and one for the USB passthrough). However, if your computer has an available USB 3.0 port, that one port will handle BOTH the keyboard AND the passthrough.
Question:	What different between cherry mx brown / cherry mx speed
Answer:	The GUNMETAL K95 keyboard only comes with the Cherry MX Speeds. The Speeds are VERY sensitive (“hair-triggered” or "touchy") and linear. That's what you want for gaming so your inputs register as quickly as possible. Such a keyboard, however, is not ideal for everyday typing and would take a long time to get used to and your typing would be very error-prone. The BLACK K95 keyboard comes with a CHOICE of either the Cherry MX Speeds OR the Cherry MX Browns. The Browns are NOT linear—they are TACTILE, aren't nearly as touchy as the Speeds and make for wonderful everyday typing and a good compromise for gaming.

Question:	mac compatible

Question:	Please someone give me some details about the Reddragon K552 KUMARA mechanical keyboard, build / feel / overall performance? thanks
Answer:	It's sturdy AF and kinda heavy so it doesn't slide around your desk. I've had mine for several months now and haven't noticed any issues. It is very satisfying to type on. I really enjoy the clicky blue switches. I play all sorts of games including FPSs and unlike the other person who answered it doesn't bother me at all to play games on this awesome KB. I've been told by coworkers that I'm NOT light/gentle on my keyboard but I also type hella fast. If you type fast and aren't light on the fingers this KB will create a noticeable din. The RGB is well lit and I had fun playing with all the light features including the one memory slot to completely customize every single keycap's light. You cannot custom animate the light for each key but the pre-installed options available seem plenty since you can cycle through all the colors including one option for all the colors and this works well on all the different animations. For example, there's a matrix style 'rain' animation which you could keep as classic green or the other several colors available, OR you can go all colors in which case you'll see the rain animation but each drop is changing color as it moves down the keys and the lingering/fading trails are also going through RGB.
Question:	What is the exact usb cable length
Answer:	It’s 6ft 3 inches
Question:	Is this one of those keyboards that has the really satisfying clicking when you type? I felt one at best buy and I loved it
Answer:	There are 2 distinct aspects to this: There is an audible click like the Cherry Blue-s or their clones. Depending on the switch used. the keyboard and the keycap, this may start out really pleasing, or you ( or your frields at the next desk) may get tired of it. Then there is a tactile bump. Most people like this. The sound itself has 2 components: The click, which is high pitched, and the "tock" as the key is hitting the keybed. This is a flat, unpleasant sound to most. The click and the tock combine into a single noise as you hit the key(s) typically pretty fast. So you end up with a "Thck" sound. After a while, some people who like the Cherry blue type clicky keyboards end up wanting something tactile, but a bit quieter. I found through experimentation, that I can eliminate the 2nd component, the bottom-out "tock" by adding o-rings to the keycap stems. Either a 0.4mm. or double 0.2mm rings. This brings the Cherry blue sound into a more civilized and pleasant realm. This is where I am at, Tried some quiet tactile switches , e.g. Halo Clear-s , and those are not tactile enough for me. I modeified a couple of keybpards ) A coolermaster 10kless that came with genuine cherry blues, and the K552 ( which came with the Outemu blue Cherry mx blue clones. Added the o-rings, and the result is quite satisfying. Still clicky, but overall more quiet and pleasant sounding. The Captain O-ring 0.4mm blue o-rings qoeked well for me.

User questions & answers

Question:	The keys are raised. Could I detach a key by accident (like a bad touch or dropping the keyboard) or are the keys firmly locked in place
Answer:	The downside is the stems are thin and can break My k556 came with a broken stem, but it was super easy to replace the switch! the fun part is either getting the stem out of the key or pushing it far enough in (what I did) that it goes on the new switch! Great keyboard, even stems on cherrys are thin, and these actually have a reinforced stem from the outer ring, so it was just manhandled in shipping. But I mean I dont move my board enough to drop it so im not worried!!!
Question:	Is the cord braided or plastic on the k551 vara
Answer:	On the K551-R (purchased on Dec. 11, 2016) it is NOT braided, but rather a smooth and very pliable material (like rubber). Fortunately, unlike many cheap plastic keyboard cords it is not so prone to kinking (indeed, the kinks from the coiled/folded cable -- as shipped -- immediately worked themselves out). I am not too worried the cord will snag on things.
Question:	Does this keyboard have nkro? (n-key rollover
Answer:	In the description it says "100% anti-ghosting and conflict-free keys." So I'm not for sure if that's the same thing. I have the keyboard and as far as I can tell none of the keys interrupt eachother
Question:	Are the keys loud? Are they easy to press? The keyboard i have right now you have to push the key all the way down which makes typing fast annoying
Answer:	The description says these now come with Cherry Mx Red Clone switches. If that is true, they are very light, non-tactile switches, so they should be low noise, easy to press keys. I have an older red backlight only version, and mine came with cherry mx blue clones, which are rather clicky. As others pointed out, rubber o-rings make the keyboard more silent. I actually have 2 o-rings per key. Keys make 2 sound: If the switch is clicky, there is an audible click at the top of the keypress. Then as the key bottoms out, it makes s a "thock" sound. The o-rings help with the latter. the 2 sounds are close together, hard to tell them apart unless you press the key slowly. This keyboard has a heavy, metallic base, which also contributes its own "ringy" echo sound.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will the cherry MX brown version work well with a Mac? I think I’ll enjoy the MX brown switches more, and remap the command/alt keys anyway
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Can the cloud connect be disabled? This is a huge security risk
Answer:	The Das Keyboard Model S does not connect to the cloud.
Question:	Does it have backlighting
Answer:	No, it is not backlit. The CODE mechanical keyboard is, if that's what you're looking for.
Question:	Is this keyboard just an Ultimate Model S with key inscriptions
Answer:	Yep they are exactly the same. They are both a 104 key layout, have 2 windows keys, and have a 50 million keystroke life. Depends where you look, there are some sales blobs saying there are media keys for the professional, but don't mention it for the ultimate, I have all the keys though. Put it this way I used the professional keyboard to find all the keys on the ultimate.
