Can you change the cherry mx keys out? I'd rather have brown D:

Maybe, but I would rather sell my old keyboard then buy cherry brown keyboard

The blue isn't bad. This keyboard is getting more difficult to find for a reasonable price, let alone find in a cherry brown, which I had sought as well.

I agree with Duc. All the latest mechanical keyboards use the same switches from Cherry, so they're give the same basic feel. In terms of price, the Razer keyboards, which use Cherry MX Blue switches seem the best and combined with the macro software is a rather great choice. I have two Filco Majestouch keyboards, one with Cherry MX Brown (tactile, but not clicky) and one with Cherry MX Blue (tactile + clicky) switches. In my opinion, I feel that the Cherry MX Brown switches are better for typing, but they're easier to fat finger, Blues are better for gaming as it's harder to mistype a key. The only thing is Cherry MX Brown switches are harder to come by in the US, but both Filco, which are now purchasable on Amazon via a merchant and the Das S Silent utilize said switches.

Sorry, I have no response for you. I misunderstood what they were actually selling and ended up sending back the keyboard.

Yeah the old ones were cherry mx blues, if you can find the older model i highly recommend them. Had one for forever and it's still working. Been about 2-3 years now.

It is a direct swap. I noticed the keys are slightly smaller than the 'official' so there might be an adjustment period, but its not a huge difference.

Unfortunately this model is not compatible with the keyboard. Thank you for your interest.

I can't really see why you couldn't. Whether or not this is easier to read is each persons preference. The only thing I could think of that may be an issue is that sometimes keyboards have little bumps on the "F" and "J" keys, that the stickers will not avoid. The "U" and "H" stickers avoid those bumps.

There is an FN key, but it does not look like function keys. I don't know if there is a way to use other keys for this purpose, but it it is not indicated on the keyboard.

Even though the profiles are really out of date, you can still go in and set them up any way you want. So every key is configurable for whatever you want. Just set up the profiles and make sure to select the right one before going in to your application. I've had my keyboard for a couple months now and have barely scratched the surface of the configuration options.

Kay - In playing with a color version on display at a local store, I think you will like the keyboard. It feels great as well as looks good. I started this post due to not being able to get a hands-on feel for the black keyboard.

There is a backlit key board available. I'm sure they will be showing up on eBay soon !

Please note that the Das Keyboard Silent uses a different type of switch (Cherry MX Brown). As such, the keys may feel different from the keys of this keyboard.

No, it has brown switches. I also have a CM Storm QuickFire mechanical keyboard with blue switches at my office. Personally speaking, blue switches are more comfortable for typing, its clicky sound makes me want to stay at the office. However, this cherry keyboard is more durable than the CM storm. For now, these two keyboards both work fine.
