Hey, I'm looking for a Tenkeyless Mechanical Keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches. I'd love some suggestions for some as there's just so many tenkeyless mechanical keyboards out there, it's difficult to choose one among them. Does anyone have suggestions? Price range can be anything under $150, but preferably something around $100. Looking for something with durability, and backlit keys. Would be great if it also has a braided cord, USB ports, and microphone + headphone jack, although not entirely necessary.
Also, would Brown be the best or "preferred" switch for gaming? If not, why, and what would you recommend? (Not getting Cherry MX Blue Switch)

not back lit and with no gimmiky ports and jacks. No nonsense quality keyboard.

I use a Ducky Year of the Dragon Limited, and I love it.
Red Switches, per-key backlighting.
Unfortunately, nearly impossible to find now.
I had a Filco Majestouch Ninja 2 TKL before that:

Awesome keyboard, red switches but not backlit.
A more common one I've used is the Razer Blackwidow.
I haven't tried their supposedly silent version, but mine was really loud.
I'm biased against most razer things, so I won't say much.
As for "what kind of switches", I can only speak for playing games, I don't actually type with mine, I have a dvorak typematrix for that (http://www.typematrix.com/).
Red switches work fine for me for things like FPSes, but I wouldn't pick them for some things, like MOBAS. Reds are sensitive enough that the weight of your finger can depress a key, which can be really bad if that key is your 3-minute cooldown ult.

solid board, but I like costar stabilizers better than cherry stabilizers so I would recommend a filco board if you can find it at a decent price.

Would this be any good? I'm trying to find one available in a local store in my area, as opposed to purchasing one from online as shipping is a pain.

To comment on what switches to get, I really like my mx blues. coming from rubber does it wasnt too big of a change (like reds), but it feels amazing to type on. Little less responsive than reds but still way better than domes. My .02 is just order one switch type and return it if you dont like it

Sold my Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth (brown switches) and ended up buying a Noppoo Choc Mini with Black switches.
One of the best decision I've ever made. No fancy schmancy stuff. Paid £55 and got a banging keyboard. Black switches are (imo) much better in terms of gaming and general typing. I had a habit of accidentally pressing keys, but with the increased force required for blacks, that's no longer an issue. It took a couple days to get used to, but I'm happy with the change. They're also as silent, if not more so than the browns (there is no 'feedback' in terms of a 'click' feel to them); I'm soon investing in those rubber ring thingies (forgotten what they're called) to quieten key presses even more when the keys bottom out.
There are Brown versions, but the only ones I could find were around £300+ for whatever reason.
Crap tonne of hotkeys and what not.
So yeah. Noppoo Choc Mini yo.

CM Storm Quickfire Rapid is a great choice for a tenkeyless. Or a KBC Poker 2, if you'd like your keyboard even smaller.

I have a leopold tenkeyless, buddy of mine (n*) has a filco tenkeyless, both black switches. I must admit, I do prefer the feel of the filco a bit. Hard to explain the difference. Still like my leopold though.

I use a Ducky pro tenkeyless and I think it's a great keyboard for the price, which was like $110 or something.

I personally use a CM Quickfire Pro because I enjoy tenkey. But I would imagine the Quickfire Rapid to be just as awesome. Ive had my Pro for a little over half a year and it works absolute wonders.

I've had mine for around a year now, and its still like new. Only thing I can say is, don't put too much corner tension on the cable I guess.
