    Cheers George! The wobble may just be the fact i'm mostly using cheap Dell keyboards.. The ones with the tall-style keys, they lean about 15 degrees (estimate) at times! :nono: Not just a little side to side wobble..

    And it sounds like Reds are the ones for me then! Do they have that typewriter "clack" that i've heard MKs sometimes have? Because that could potentially drive me nuts when i'm using it for essays at Uni!

    Most find the sound strangely satisfying, it's those around you who tend to be irritated :D

    How noisy mechanical keyboards has much more to do with how you type than the keyboard itself (excluding click type switch that are designed to make noise cue). If you slam the keys down of course it will make loud thock sounds. Also, if you release the keys with a snap, it will make a thock on return... of which there is really nothing you can do with unlike adding o-rings for bottom out noise reduction.

    You know me Matt, I loves a change every few months :D

    And as I am no longer allowed a big pile o' keyboards (I value my knackers too much) I need to sell one to buy one!

    I really like that FC660! Problem is, I just can't do it at the moment. I will soon be at a point where I will have to lose a keyboard to gain one :(

    You can order the Esc separate now assuming there is still left.

    Serves me right for NEVER going in the gb's section of gh :D Always seem to be busy working on gb's or keyboards that I forget that sometimes there might be things that aren't being done by [CTRL]ALT that I might want!

    Looks awesome! If you don't want to keep it then sure :D I will pay whatever you want for it - though I have a new address that you would need :)

    I am sure we could figure something out. Probably just what I paid for it. ;)

    I'm slowly updating my IMGUR album. Though it's not ready yet, please take a look and tell me what you think or what kind of info you would add. :)

    I'm not a fan of 60% boards, but that looks very nice indeed.
