Just thought I bump the thread with some relevant information:
For those of you looking for a cherry brown keyboard, NCIX is selling the CoolerMaster Storm Quickfire PRO keyboard for $90. (note this is not the tenkeyless one. this is the full keyboard)
As I've always wanted a brown switch keyboard (or at least, I thought I did after using black, red, and blue), I bit given that the next cheapest brown I found was the Rosewill on newegg.ca for 110+shipping.
As for the switches- it's definitely a typer's switch. Wonderful feedback, not too loud, however it takes a bit of an adjustment to type on it, especially coming from a membrane-laden ergo 4000.
Between black and brown, I like them both. Blacks are definitely a gaming switch for me (hard to double tap on the browns), and I'll be using this CM keyboard at work where I work at a software company. It's a lot less noise than the blues, but almost a stiffer click. Not IBM stiff, but it's a nice firm response.
(I'm going to be totally honest- I wrote this mini-review to try/test out the mx browns)
