Is there a good keyboard with MX Brown switches ?

Go to solution Solved by Firestrike,

I gave up. I ordered the only K70 with QWERTY layout in my country, with Mx Reds because it's impossible to find Mx Browns at a reasonable price here in France.

So, are Mx reds good enough ? I don't play games all the time, and also I don't only play FPS games.

i dont play fps, and i type a lot, MX red works fine for me

All switches (for the most part) are "good enough" - they're down to user preference.

Is there a way to swap the keys to make a qwerty keyboard from an azerty keyboard ?

well you can change the position of the key caps, and you can set the keyboard to enlish US in windows, but im not 100% sure if that would make it work like a regular US keyboard

 

technically it should work since on google i see people changing from qwerty to azerty by just changing the keyboard layout in windows

Yeah no actually scratch that. The keys are different, and there is the big fat enter key :(

After using a Razer keyboard with their own green switches, I decided to try the quieter keyboards and bought a Corsair k95 RGB. I must say, while many people say you will make more mistakes while typing using softer switches, I haven't noticed anything but the ability to not annoy the crap out of my friends when we are gaming and using voice chat software.

 

I do not know which keyboard would be best for you in your location, but hopefully I can nudge you in the direction that brown switches are the way to go! Best of luck finding a keyboard that suits you.
