I don't like it. I'm beginning to just not like logos on anything I own because they're almost always poorly placed and if you don't like them, sometimes you can't do anything about it.

Really? Because honestly, I like it better than the old one. But Linus had a fix for it: pry it off.

You sir, made me laugh so hard. Was scrolling down to see some good questions about the keyboard, and the first one was this. I love you.

 

To OP, I am planning to go for a K70 but I kinda have the same dilemma you have/had. Red or brown switches, sadly enough... the shops here don't open boxes to let you try them, nor do they have testbenches whatsoever.

But seeing your reaction, if you're a fast typer, I shouldn't bother going for the browns or did I misinterpreted that?

That's fine. I just don't like those types of logos anymore. I'm even growing tired of Razer's logo even though I swear by the Naga.

It really depends on if you're willing to get used to how sensitive the keys are. You'll have to be more precise with your keystrokes because if you glide your fingers over a key and it presses it a little, the key will actuate; they're linear switches so they don't have to be pressed as far as other switch types for the key to register.

 

But yes, they feel the same to me as Blues and Browns do if I type at my normal speed. I typed on my MX Blue keyboard next to this one and I realized the tactile bump isn't all that present and noticeable in comparison when I'm typing as fast and hard as I do. Like, I'm 100% sure if I typed this fast and hard on both keyboards while blindfolded and with headphones on with music blasting, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Browns all the way.

 

But really try to find somewhere to try it yourself if you can.

Fry's usually have keyboards on display to try out.

I was going to get the RGB K65, but insted went for the Vengeance K65 (MX Reds, because I like linear) (No backlight) so I can spend the money I saved on an Asus ROG Gladius mouse, Both are really good so far!

Good review BTW!
