Good keyboard with MX Browns?

Do any of you have any experience with MX Browns?

I tried the browns at a friend's place and i loved them.

 

 

My price range is ~<$120


I was looking at the Ducky Shine II, but I'd like some more input.

My das keyboard has cherry mx brown switches and its great.  I does have a glossy bezel though.  But I don't mind it too much honestly.

I have a Quickfire TK with browns and although the small form factor isn't for everyone, the switches themselves are brilliant IMO. I would highly recommended popping into a PC store and asking to try out the other switches though. You may prefer blacks, blue or reds. I'm in the UK so i'm uncertain of the price you guys can get it. I'm sure it is around $100 though.

If the TK isn't for you though, the switches themselves are good for gaming, good for typing, not as loud as blues but still a good audible feedback and just in general feel great. If you are more of a gamer than a typer then I would recommend trying blacks. But brown is definitely the best option if you are looking for a option between typing and gaming.

+1 on the G710+. This keyboard is great with its bright white backlight and their gaming software is pretty sweet. The gloss black frame on the keyboard is a fingerprint magnet fyi.
