Taylor Keys Brown

I chose the K845 mechanical with brown switches because I wanted an illuminated mechanical keyboard that wasn't overly loud and clicky. The switches are relatively quiet but produce a satisfying click, one that I desired over a mushy key. The illuminated keys are excellent as I prefer a lower light environment to work in. The keys are set up high off the board itself allowing anything that may fall onto the keyboard to simply slide off and not get lodged. The K845 is a wired system which I bought specifically. I don't wish to spend additional money just to have to replace batteries or worry about charging a keyboard. The wired connection works for me and I don't need anything else. For the price, I don't think there is a better mechanical keyboard.

CM Quickfire Rapid is the ten keyless mechanical keyboard I could find that worked with Mac out of the box. All multimedia keys work with Mac. A lot of mechanical keyboards I researched had some sort of issue with Mac or required some software to be installed. The CM Quickfire rapid works right out of the box. The most you would have to do is update your modifier keys in OSX and switch your key caps for option/command. I own two of these keyboards now, one with blue and one with brown cherry mx keys. I used the blue version for over a year and wanted to get a quieter version for use at work. I tried adding o-rings to the blue keyboard and it greatly reduced the sound by preventing the keys from bottoming out. The main problem I had with this solution was that the click of the blue key switches is still very audible and the o-rings decreased the travel of the keys. Making it feel too short in my opinion. The brown key switch version is much quieter since there's no audible click. To prevent bottoming out, I removed the o-rings I put in the blue version and put them in the brown. Making the brown even quieter than it already was. Perfect for an office environment shared with other coworkers. The brown key switches are nice if you like the the blue keys, but need to do without the audible click. The brown keys have a noticeable bump when you press down on them. Cons: Lack of backlit keys. I don't have a need for the backlit keys, but would be a nice to have. All of the other ten keyless with backlit keys were about double the price of this one. No USB hub. While not needed, would be nice if it also had a USB hub like some of the other mechanical keyboards I researched.

This is the best keyboard that your money can buy. Better than the Falchion because it is larger, the keys are more comfortable and spread apart better. It lights up beautifully, looks great, and it made of heavy duty metallic casing. I love the pink and black color combination matched with the AURA synch: it looks AMAZING! I got this on a whim, and I was going to hook it up to my other computer, but when I plugged it in and started using it, I immediately realized that this is a way better keyboard even than the wireless Falchion. I would recommend this keyboard over any of the other keyboards out there. Great response time, Wired for speed, and very comfortable and easy to use keys. I got the 'red' key press level: make sure you try a red, blue or brown style switches. I prefer the red (which is linear) for speed and comfort, but some people prefer the blue for clickyness, or the brown tactile switches.

This keyboard has a nice feel (brown switch version, less noisy) on actuating the keys and back. I wasn't sure how fluid the experience would be but it's a good balance of feel and accuracy. I'm able to type nearly as fast out of the box as a much more expensive keyboard.

Perfect fit for my Taylor GS Mini. Nice construction -- well made.

The tape is brown, the tape sticks. It works!

The brown switch feels much better than the blue switch.

As a Taylor Swift fan, I have to love having her signature on the border of my exposures. So lovely!

Love the vintage brown BookBook! I can carry everything I need with me!

Use to store my child's Taylor GS Mini-Electronic Rosewood guitar to protect from drying and other physical damage. Safely keep her instrument in this premier guitar case while monitoring internal humidity and temperature of the case with hygrometer. Damage proof rendered by heavy internal foam, guarranteed protection from accidental bumping, dent or scratches. Retains the famous Taylor guitar grand symphony sound and value while it safely resides in the SKB hard case. Very well worth the money.
