(i dont work for them, this isn't an advertisement)
WASD keyboards have just got the CODE keyboards back in stock. These are tenkeyless (87 keys) keyboards (full size also available if you are into that kind of stuff) with Cherry MX Clear switches.
Afaik, these are the only clear switch kbs available anywhere. Clears are basically Browns with a Black spring, tactile and quite stiff, for people who want that "buckling spring" feeling but on a modern keyboard.
(apparently these are quite quiet, but im not sure what that means, since all cherry switches make a bit of sound, even blacks and reds)
FYI they also have Cherry MX Greens on the same model, which are the stiffer Blue, so both tactile and clicky. Greens have been in stock for a while.
Imho greens aren't suited for gaming .. the release point is higher than the actuation point, they are really just typing switches.
The kbs aren't cheap - a hundred and fifty bucks, plus shipping, plus they only come with the US layout, and they have the small Enter key. Not really drama material, but me, i'd rather have the larger enter key and do away with the right shift ...
The kbs come with the works, soldered board, backlighting, NKRO, and so on.
Im posting this because these Clear boards are really good if you are into FPS games (or anything where pressing the wrong key can mean a lost game). For typing, there's probably better choices, like the Unicomp IBM clone, or a Majestouch, or even a cheaper Cherry.
NOTE: these guys have a mailing list. These keyboards are likely to disappear immediately. IF you want one, hurry up.
(lol this post is sounding more and more like a sales pitch)
Mine's in the post. I'll have a review up as soon as it gets here - a week, give or take.
