New keyboard

[Mimic]

Hi guys,
i need some advice for my new keyboard.

Im from Germany and want a new keyboard, now im using the G-80 with blues.
I like it but the formfactor and the non existing stealplate are some cons.
So i searched for some variants and found the "Das Keyboard", "Filco tenkyless" or should i wait for the "Xarmor" to be released here at europe?

Or do u have some other boards to be tried out? The board should have blues, thats the only thing i need and of course the german layout.

Ok thanks for advice!

You should ask the Oracle.

Just curious, what is wrong with not having the steal mounting plate? Mounting straight onto the PCB is supposed to give a nice non-metallic typing feel comparing to the stiff metal plate. Beside, not having the mounting plate does not make the keyboard less durable. A pro to a lot of keyboard geeks out there.

There is no argument about the form factor though. I would go with the Filco. Das Keyboard should be fine if you don't mind its not-much-smaller-than-cherry size and its shiny finish. Xarmor is made by iOne. I would avoid it.
