Bang For the buck tenkeyless?

Looking for a non-shit tier tenkeyless keyboard with mx browns, dont want to spend too much money but also dont want something which will start faulting/breaking after a few good months. I think i'm quite adamant that i want mx browns and i'm not really considering Razer key switches at the moment.

 

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

CM Storm quickfire TK (a bit different, the numpad and arrow keys are combined, take a look at it)

When in doubt: C4

I looked at a few CM keyboards and apparently they're not very reliable and can be similar to razer in trying to sell their keyboards with a 'gaming' label instead of a 'quality' label.

I haven't heard any of this, and am a happy owner of the quickfire tk myself.

The switches are cherry mx, which as far as i know, equals quality as far as mechanical keyboards go.

Yea, what i heard was more the leds and overall durability. You're right about the key switches though.

It could have just been some WASD fanboy with tunnel vision who told me that though

Hahah, yea I have a few friends which own them and don't get me wrong I'm see they're good keyboards I just do t really like the whole racer design. I prefer more minimalistic design.

I understand. I really do wish I had gotten a Ducky Shine 4 instead but I'm glad I got it. The Razer software is AWESOME!!!!! 

 

You can make any key you want a macro, as well as reassign keys to different purposes. For CS:GO I use caps lock as CTRL and it's much easier to crouch walk without stretching my pinkie and causing pain in tight situations. Anyway, I wouldn't recommend it personally, but it is a nice keyboard for gaming.

CM Storm is a budget friendly option, and of course there's been cheaped out somewhere.

But the quickfire tk is not really that cheap, but still cheaper than the competition due to the merge of numpad+arrow keys.

I second @ind3x, My CM has been nothing but quality, I honestly think I could use it as a cricket bat and then sit back down with it and continue my work.
